LA Guerrillas part ways with world champion ACHES ahead of CDL Playoffs Call of Duty League[jwplayer N7tT6Pjt] In a statement released on July 22, the Call of Duty League\u2019s Los Angeles Guerrillas have announced that they are releasing two-time World Champion Patrick \u2018ACHES\u2019 Price. Following struggles early on in the CDL debut season, ACHES was benched months ago alongside Andres \u2018Lacefield\u2019 Lacefield and Renato \u2018Saints\u2019 Forza. While Saints regained his starting position, ACHES and Lacefield never did \u2014 leading to the former\u2019s release with just one Home Series event left in the regular season. As a 26-year-old renown veteran in the league, the former Team Envy player was hoped to bring a level of leadership to a middling Guerrillas team. Sitting at last in the league, with just 50 CDL Points, the Guerrillas have now opted to part ways with the substitute player ahead of August\u2019s playoff circuit.

But fans will most certainly speculate as to whether he\u2019ll opt to give it another shot with Treyarch\u2019s upcoming Call of Duty title. Or, he could always join the 27-year-old Damon \u2018Karma\u2019 Barlow in retirement, possibly choosing to stream full-time and analyze more gameplay on the side, like his former teammate Tyler \u2018TeeP\u2019 Polchow. Clearly disappointed with how this year worked out and have a lot of mixed feelings, but that’s all I really need to say on the matter. Still going to move forward to what\u2019s next with my head held high \ud83d\udc4a\ud83c\udffb I appreciate all the love & support. \u2014 PATTYP (@ACHES) July 22, 2020 If he were to try and continue competing professionally, he would, of course, have to find a CDL franchise that\u2019s willing to sign him. While that may seem like a long shot with how much he struggled at the start of this season, it\u2019s hard to put the blame entirely on him. The Guerrillas roster went 1-3 (25 percent winning rate) before he was benched and have finished their season with a 5-17 record (22.7 percent). This is line with comments from professional players and analysts alike, most recently with former pro and analyst, Jonathan \u2018Pacman\u2019 Tucker, calling for ACHES to get back in the starting lineup. Aches should be a starter for the LA Guerrillas. Just sayin \u2014 Jonathan Tucker (@PacmanJT) July 18, 2020 In a Reddit thread discussing that Tweet, Dallas Empire veteran James \u2018Clayster\u2019 Eubanks echoed Pacman\u2019s sentiments, stating that \u201cif you think this LAG team is getting dead last with Pat, you\u2019re sorely mistaken.\u201d While we will never know how this LAG team could perform with ACHES back in the lineup, he will certainly be one of the most intriguing free agents to watch between this season and the next \u2014 especially if the CDL brings on expansion teams that could be looking for a proven veteran to lead them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
