Huke makes LA Thieves an instant CDL championship contender Activision\/LA ThievesIn possibly the biggest transfer in Call of Duty history, LA Thieves have picked up Cuyler \u2018Huke\u2019 Garland from Dallas Empire and benched Thomas \u2018TJHaly\u2019 Haly. While fans have their own opinions on benching TJHaly, the fact remains that Huke is really a one-of-a-kind talent, as 100 Thieves CEO Matthew \u2018Nadeshot\u2019 Haag detailed when talking about the roster move. With LA Thieves recently on an uptick, spearheaded by Kenneth \u2018Kenny\u2019 Williams\u2019 switch to an AR role, it definitely seemed absurd to some fans that they\u2019d want to make a change at all, but it looks like it could work out very well. His talent is undeniable, and his stats from this season \u2014 especially Stage 1 \u2014 speak for themselves. Welcome the Multi-FPS Champion Cuyler “”@Huke The Nuke”” Garland to the Los Angeles Thieves. #LAThieves pic.twitter.com\/lf40VJzCmM \u2014 LA Thieves (@LAThieves) May 4, 2021 During Reverse Sweep Round 11, Andrew \u2018Enigma\u2019 Campion looks at what exactly Huke is bringing to this LA Thieves roster, with him possibly excelling where TJHaly didn\u2019t quite make the cut. Throughout Stage 1, Huke was often considered the best in the game, alongside the likes of Chris \u2018Simp\u2019 Lehr and Tyler \u2018aBeZy\u2019 Pharris. He recorded a 1.14 and 1.12 KD in Hardpoint and Control, respectively, while his Search was at a quality 1.05. Across the entire season, his Hardpoint has maintained its impressive stats (1.11 KD overall), while his S&D and Control have fallen off \u2014 0.99 and 0.98 respectively. Hardpoint, though, is where LA Thieves\u2019 team KD struggles the most, at 0.97 throughout the season. This bump could be monumental for them, especially with Huke being a more creative, roaming player than TJ, with far more explosive potential. While Huke saw a bit of a downward trajectory throughout Stage 2 and the start of Stage 3, his S1 performances show exactly what is possible for the young star.
