FaZe Clan\u2019s ZooMaa explains why he\u2019s not competing at CWL Fort Worth MLG \/ Images from TexasThe second major tournament of the CWL season will be taking place at Fort Worth, Texas, but Call of Duty pro player Thomas \u2018ZooMaa\u2019 Paparatto has announced that he will not be competing. Despite participating in the CWL Pro League with OpTic Gaming, ZooMaa was never officially a member of the team, as he had simply been borrowed from FaZe Clan as a substitute player and nothing more. This meant that he would not be able to compete in at CWL Fort Worth unless he either joined a Pro League team that had a guaranteed spot in the pro tournament, or assembled a team for the Open Bracket of the amateur competition. However, the longtime competitior has chosen to do neither, choosing to sit out the tournament and focus on the remainder of the season instead. \u201cWill not be competing at Fort Worth,\u201d he tweeted. \u201cI feel like it\u2019s in my best interest to wait this one out and see what the future has in store for me come next roster change period. Good luck to everyone competing.\u201d Will not be competing at Fort Worth I feel like it’s in my best interest to wait this one out and see what the future has in store for me come next roster change period. gl to everyone competing \u2014 FaZe ZooMaa (@ZooMaa) March 8, 2019 So what does this mean for ZooMaa\u2019s future? First of all, with the roster lock put back in place on March 8, the FaZe star will have to continue being OpTic\u2019s substitute until the next roster change window opens, which will be April 5-22. Judging by the fact that he took this long to make this announcement, it\u2019s likely that ZooMaa tried his best to find the most suitable situation for himself before the March 8 deadline, but ultimately decided that playing the waiting game was better than rushing into something he may not have been totally comfortable will. ZooMaa will not be the only high-profile CoD player to skip out on CWL Fort Worth; 100 Thieves\u2019 Maurice \u2018Fero\u2019 Henriquez made a similar announcement on March 7. Much like his FaZe counterpart, Fero cited his longer term goals as a reason for missing the tournament, as he will continue serving as 100 Thieves\u2019 substitute in the CWL Pro League for the time being.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
