LA Thieves officially add John to CDL roster ahead of Stage 5 LA ThievesFollowing earlier reports, the Los Angeles Thieves have officially announced that Black Ops 3 world champion John \u2018John\u2019 Perez will be part of their CDL roster for Stage 5 and CoD Champs. John has often been touted as one of the best SMG players in Call of Duty history, but at the beginning of the Modern Warfare season he mysteriously disappeared from the scene. He later revealed that health issues had been holding him back from competing. Throughout Black Ops Cold War, however, John has been a mainstay among the top players in the Challengers circuit, waiting for a chance to make his return to the big leagues and prove that he\u2019s still more than capable of competing with the best. With the second season of the CDL almost wrapped up, he now finally has a chance to shine with one of the biggest brands in the league. After reports from CDL Intel via Dot Esports, LA Thieves made the news official in a June 24 announcement, shortly after dropping TJHaly. \u201cHe\u2019s back,\u201d The LA Thieves Twitter account revealed. \u201cReady to compete in the CoD League, finally,\u201d John followed up. \u201cA moment in the making and I\u2019m ready to make the most of it!\u201d Ready to compete in the @CODLeague finally and the fact that it is with @LAThieves is a blessing, a moment in the making and I\u2019m ready to make the most of it! #LAThieves https:\/\/t.co\/nrL0reTAYm \u2014 John (@John287) June 25, 2021 While earlier reports suggested that he might not be in the starting lineup right away, LA Thieves quickly put an end to the speculation. The LA Thieves Stage 5 starting lineup is as follows: Kenny – SlasheR – John – Drazah – Of course, this leaves Cuyler \u2018Huke\u2019 Garland on the LAT bench once again after his groundbreaking buyout from Dallas Empire, after which he revealed he had been using Adderall during his team\u2019s Champs win. John is now surrounded by familiar faces in the LA Thieves camp. He won his world championship alongside newly-reinstated LA Thieves starter Austin \u2018SlasheR\u2019 Liddicoat and head coach Jordan \u2018JKap\u2019 Kaplan, which no doubt played a huge part in their rumored decision to pick him up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
