Huke benched in surprise Dallas Empire CDL roster change Call of Duty LeagueJust one day into Stage 3 in the 2021 Call of Duty League season and Dallas Empire has announced a surprise roster shuffle, moving Cuyler \u2018Huke\u2019 Garland to the bench with Tyler \u2018FeLo\u2019 Johnson stepping up. Stage 3 has only just kicked off with the London Home Series, and already the Call of Duty League rosters are being shuffled again. This time, it\u2019s Dallas Empire making a change: Huke has been moved to the bench, with FeLo \u2014 who only joined the CDL organization as a sub in January this year \u2014 set to replace him in the starting lineup from their next game onwards. \u201cThe team has felt we are playing below our potential,\u201d head coach Raymond \u2018Rambo\u2019 Lussier said. \u201cWith FeLo playing so well in Challengers, he\u2019s earned a shot to compete in the starting lineup.\u201d This marks the first time FeLo will start in the Call of Duty League. \u201cWish them the best,\u201d Huke tweeted shortly after the news broke. \u201cAnother challenge for me and I\u2019m here for it.\u201d Huke has been with Empire since the very beginning, helping the team claim the inaugural CDL championship in 2020. The Dallas-based lineup currently sits in second place among the overall standings, though they\u2019ve yet to secure a Major victory this season. Wish them the best, another challenge for me and im here for it. \u2014 Surge Huke (@Huke) April 23, 2021 In Stage 1, they finished in second place, losing 5-2 to Atlanta FaZe. A month later in Stage 2, Dallas finished in third place after being knocked out by the eventual winners, Toronto Ultra. While the results certainly haven\u2019t been bad, the team still believes there\u2019s room to improve. Ian \u2018Enable\u2019 Wyatt recently argued that Empire has \u201cregressed\u201d in 2021. With some new blood in the lineup, maybe now they have a chance at closing out a first-place finish. \u201cAppreciate all the love,\u201d FeLo followed up on Twitter. \u201cI have a lot to prove and an amazing group of people around me to do it with. Time to get to work.\u201d Coming off a recent stint with NA Challengers team \u2018EastR,\u2019 FeLo helped lead the charge to a first-place finish in Stage 2 of the Elite season. Appreciate all of the love, I have a lot to prove and an amazing group of people around me to do it with. Time to get to work \u2764\ufe0f \ud83d\udd25 https:\/\/t.co\/sz4qrLLKbe\u2014 Tyler FeLo (@FeLo) April 23, 2021 Whether or not the adjustment will pay off, we\u2019ll just have to wait and see. Many have already begun questioning the move online, with Joe \u2018MerK\u2019 DeLuca even wondering if the shuffle had to do with something outside of the game. Empire has just two full days to properly merge FeLo into the starting lineup. Their next series pits them against Ultra in what\u2019s sure to be a heated rematch after the Stage 2 Major. Keep on top of all the action right here, and be sure to brush up on all the latest roster shuffles before the next matches get underway.
