This likely ensures that he will be their highly anticipated fourth starter. OpTic Gaming returned to Hector \u2018H3CZ\u2019 Rodriguez\u2019s hands in early October 2020. Then, within the month, Matthew \u2018Nadeshot\u2019 Haag\u2019s 100 Thieves made a return to competitive Call of Duty by acquiring OGLA\u2019s vacated Los Angeles spot. Now, after weeks of speculation, it seems that the full starting lineup for the new Thieves team is confirmed. Just days ago, YouTuber and influencer, Mike Majlak seemed to leak that Jordan \u2018JKap\u2019 Kaplan would be confirmed as the Thieves\u2019 head coach for the upcoming CDL season during a vlog at the 100T compound. Then, in Kaplan\u2019s announcement video, Eric \u2018Muddawg\u2019 Sanders appeared to have leaked the team\u2019s final starter. While 100T\u2019s massive fanbase already knew the team\u2019s three starters and substitute, this new leak finally confirmed what many had speculated about based on scrimmages. And, just a day later, the leak got (somewhat) validated by Nadeshot and Muddawg themselves. With the original leak, while discussing JKap\u2019s fit as head coach given his experience as a reputable veteran in the scene, Muddawg casually mentioned some of the team\u2019s more prominent personalities. In doing so, he referenced one player who hadn\u2019t yet been officially announced: Donovan \u2018Temp\u2019 Laroda. \u201cObviously we have some strong personalities on the team. With Temp and with SlasheR, especially. Those are two guys who will listen to you and that\u2019s something that we need.\u201d Read more: LA Thieves announce JKap as head coach &#8211; In a video the day after, Nadeshot and Muddawg indicated they had another announcement they forgot to make. By the end, it\u2019s clear that Temp is the newest member of the black-and-red Thieves team. Temp is as strong a personality as any in the CoD scene, although the announcement video may try to downplay that passion by seeming to forget about their new acquisition. While he has yet to be confirmed as the starter, most are expecting him to be based on recent scrims. That leaves the LA Thieves roster as follows: Austin \u2018SlasheR\u2019 Liddicoat (Starter) &#8211; Kenny \u2018Kenny\u2019 Williams (Starter) &#8211; Donovan \u2018Temp\u2019 Laroda (Starter) &#8211; Thomas \u2018TJHaLy\u2019 Haly (Starter) &#8211; Zack \u2018Drazah\u2019 Jordan (Substitute) &#8211; Following an up-and-down season with the New York Subliners, Temp is an interesting candidate for a redemption arc with the LA Thieves in 2021. A yearlong starter, New York opted to let him go and, instead, bring in a more veteran presence in James \u2018Clayster\u2019 Eubanks.
