Hastr0 responds to \u2018leaked\u2019 name for Dallas CoD franchise Team EnvyTeam Envy, Dallas Fuel and Dallas CoD franchise owner Mike \u201cHastr0\u201d Rufail has responded to a supposed leak giving away the name of their new Call of Duty franchise. Envy is a brand that was born from Call of Duty esports, the two becoming synonymous with one another in much the same way as OpTic Gaming and FaZe Clan. That\u2019s why it\u2019s so important the Dallas CoD franchise gets a suitable name \u2013 so when a potential name was leaked, Hastr0 took to Twitter to respond to the claims. According to infamous leaker CDLIntel, the Dallas CoD franchise is going to be named \u201cDallas Empire\u201d, with information received from an anonymous source linking to domain names owned by Envy Gaming Inc. :rotating_light::rotating_light:@COD_Dallas to be named \u201cDallas Empire\u201d? A burner account sent me the name, so I checked if the domain \u201chttps:\/\/t.co\/98zfZttjuu\u201d was taken.. Envy Gaming Inc. owns it :eyes: pic.twitter.com\/uckAgG2hkO \u2014 CDL Intel (@INTELCallofDuty) September 30, 2019 The tweet also mentions that the company owns the domain name www.dallasrepublic.com, a suggestion that the team could end up being named Dallas Republic. However, Hastr0 has come out with a definitive statement responding to the leaks, saying: \u201cWe registered multiple team names, domains and branding assets for our Call of Duty esports team. He concluded, \u201cYou guys can keep speculating. Just know that our launch will be pretty epic.\u201d We registered multiple team names, domains and branding assets for our Call of Duty esports team. You guys can keep speculating. Just know that our launch will be pretty epic. \u2014 Mike Rufail (@hastr0) September 30, 2019 While Hastr0 doesn\u2019t outright deny the claims, he definitely suggests that while Dallas Empire (and Dallas Republic) are names that have been thought about, there is a multitude of brands, names, domains and assets that could end up being the final product. This isn\u2019t the first time Hastr0 has denied something to be true, but it seems it\u2019s often just to keep fans on their toes. On February 10, 2018, journalist and esports consultant Rod \u201cSlasher\u201d Breslau tweeted that his sources had shared with him that Woo-yeon \u201csowhat\u201d Bong would be signing with the Dallas Fuel. Hastr0 immediately refuted the claims, saying that Slasher should \u201cget rid of that source\u201d. Not a week later, on February 16, 2018, Hastr0 confirmed that Fuel had been in discussions over the signing of sowhat, although the acquisition didn\u2019t end up occurring. Regarding the tweet by @Slasher which falsely confirmed the signing of “”sowhat”” to the @DallasFuel roster made on February 10: pic.twitter.com\/H7vn9eEj2g \u2014 Mike Rufail (@hastr0) February 16, 2018 CDLIntel definitely has a habit of being right, and usually won\u2019t report on something unless he\u2019s confident in it, so we may have just found out who CoD fans in Dallas will be supporting come 2020. For now though, it\u2019s still unconfirmed, with no franchises in the new league having officially unveiled their brands yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
