H3CZ and Attach explain how GAs in professional CoD are \u201churting the game\u201d YouTube \/ HECZThe Call of Duty League\u2019s OpTic Chicago owner Hector \u2018H3CZ\u2019 Rodriguez and Minnesota ROKKR pro Dillon \u2018Attach\u2019 Price explain how too many Gentleman\u2019s Agreements in professional CoD are hurting the CDL and Challenger scenes. With the 2021 CDL schedule announcement and the start of the next CoD Challengers season expected to take place in January, the hype surrounding 2021\u2019s competitive scene continues to heat up. On the December 26 episode of the Eavesdrop podcast, OpTic Chicago\u2019s H3CZ sat down with veteran pro player Attach to discuss the upcoming season. One major concern for the owner and player is how Gentleman\u2019s Agreements (GAs) could negatively affect the pro scene in 2021. For those unfamiliar with the term, GAs are essentially unofficial agreements between all of the pro teams to not use certain weapons, perks, attachments, or anything that they collectively feel is too powerful to be competitive but aren\u2019t banned in the official ruleset. H3CZ kicks off the conversation by asking Attach what changes he wants to see in the 2021 season, specifically asking about Gentleman\u2019s Agreements: \u201cWhat\u2019s up with all these GAs dude?\u201d Attach responded by criticizing the number of GAs currently in effect for the pro scene, confirming that \u201cthey\u2019re getting a little crazy.\u201d He brought up the most recent one regarding the AK74u Task Force barrel, which was called overpowered because it can kill opponents in three headshots. Switching over to the topic of Challengers, he explained how amateur players are requesting restrictions for the AK47 assault rifle, KSP 45 SMG, and the 1911 sidearm: \u201cI think the GAs are getting a little too out-of-hand right now.\u201d (For mobile users, segment starts at 39:00) Attach would like there to be a middle ground, but feels like there are some players who are abusing GAs for personal reasons. \u201cI feel like some people are just like I don\u2019t like this gun, I want it gone,\u201d he explained. \u201cMaybe one team doesn\u2019t want something gone . . . they\u2019re just gonna get blacklisted?\u201d H3CZ and Attach both agree that the GA situation has gone too far. \u201cIt\u2019s hurting the game,\u201d H3CZ chimed in at one point, saying \u201cnow it\u2019s becoming a spectacle.\u201d The two also agree that a recent decision to restrict certain maps \u2013 specifically Crossroads \u2013 is also taking things too far. Attach also pointed out how too many GAs can affect the viewing experience as well, wondering how casual viewers will feel if most of the guns they play with every day aren\u2019t being used by the pros when they compete. In addition, H3CZ called out the players who are asking for all of these bans to be implemented. The OpTic owner feels that some players who didn\u2019t make a pro team or were cut during the switch to 4v4 are trying to use these GAs to boost themselves into a team\u2019s starting lineup. While some in the professional Call of Duty scene have major issues with the state of GAs and their effect on professional play, the practice has been in place for years and will likely continue. Just how far some players might try to take these agreements still remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
