Florida Mutineers sign Slacked to complete their 2021 CDL roster CDL \/ Florida MutineersVeteran pro player Josiah \u2018Slacked\u2019 Berry has officially joined the Call of Duty League\u2019s Florida Mutineers for the 2021 season, solidifying a roster that had a gaping hole following the recent sudden passing of Maurice \u2018Fero\u2019 Henriquez. With the CDL\u2019s second-ever season just around the corner, most of the teams already have a set starting lineup and substitutes in place for the upcoming campaign, with the Mutineers being one of the very few who hadn\u2019t. The death of Fero certainly made their roster situation even more complicated, after two of last year\u2019s starters \u2013 Frosty and Maux \u2013 had already departed the organization. Needing to fill the void, Florida have turned to Slacked, who was a free agent following his lone season with the Seattle Surge in 2020. \u201cI\u2019ll be joining the Mutineers ahead of the 2021 season,\u201d the veteran tweeted. \u201cI know I\u2019ve got some big shoes to fill, I will do my absolute best to make Ferocitys and the Florida fans proud. I\u2019m thankful for the opportunity to join the squad an ready to work my a** off for this season.\u201d Florida Mutineers 2020 starting roster Cesar \u2018Skyz\u2019 Bueno – Cold \u2018Havok\u2019 McLendon – Joseph \u2018Owakening\u2019 Conley – Josiah \u2018Slacked\u2018 Berry – Ricky \u2018Atura\u2019 Lugo (coach) – Ready for a new war.@CesarSkyz | @ColtHavok | @Owakening | @Slacked | @RickyAtura @f3rocitys your spirit lives on with the Mutineers. #F3arTheDeep pic.twitter.com\/NtiEYp4LXW \u2014 Miami Heretics (@MiamiHeretics) December 7, 2020 Slacked entered free agency way back on September 4 after a disastrous season with the Surge where hardly anything went right; the team heavily underperformed and had very few positive results, despite featuring players with plenty of championship experience. After struggling to find a spot on a pro roster, the longtime competitor has joined a team that was one of the best in the CDL\u2019s inaugural season. Mutineers were one of only two teams to win three Home Series tournaments in the inaugural season alongside Dallas Empire. The emergence of Skyz as an MVP-caliber player also has many rating the Mutineers as a side worth keeping an eye on in 2021, despite them falling short of expectations in the Playoffs. As he alluded to in his tweet, Slacked will have to fill the shoes of Fero, who established himself as one of the league\u2019s more dynamic players. While maybe not considered a superstar, the former Luminosity standout brings a veteran presence, years of competitive experience, and game-changing potential to a fairly young lineup that could look to him for leadership. That\u2019s not the only good news Florida announced on December 7; their highly thought-of head coach, Atura, revealed that he will be returning for another season as well: \u201cIt\u2019s been an honor to coach this team and I\u2019m excited to announce I\u2019ll return as the Head Coach for the 2021 CDL season. This season\u2019s for you F3.\u201d Now that the Mutineers have their roster situation figured out and secured the return of their bonafide star coach, things are looking up again in Florida.
