LandO has been in the Call of Duty community since 2016 when he was a content creator for UMG Gaming and later Team Envy. He later left content creation behind when he joined the casting team during the inaugural season of the CDL. Former caster Benson left the casting team in 2020 amid a legal issue surrounding misconduct ,and LandO would take his place, teaming up with caster and analyst Jeremy \u201cStudyy\u201d Astacio. After spending the last three years with Activision and the CDL, LandO took to YouTube to release a video regarding his future steps in his career. The Call of Duty community honors LandO\u2019s career LandO starts off the video by saying that he doesn\u2019t know if he is retiring from casting or if he is simply taking a break. However, what is clear is that he will not be returning to cast the upcoming Modern Warfare 3 season. \u201cI know it\u2019s time for me to step away,\u201d said LandO. \u201cI know it\u2019s time for me to go on and do something different. This feels like the most difficult decision I\u2019ve had to make in my life. I don\u2019t know if that comes as a surprise to some people, or maybe it\u2019s not.\u201d LandO explained that he had not been paying attention to the release of MW3. In previous years he explained that he would not only be playing the game but watching streams and taking notes. It seems that LandO had already determined his future by the conclusion of the previous season. \u201cI\u2019ve known for a while that this is it,\u201d said LandO. \u201cI even came into Champs from last season thinking in my head that this could be the last time. I walked into Sunday thinking that this could be the final moment that I have.\u201d Following his announcement, members within the CDL took the time to commemorate LandO and what he had accomplished over the last three years. He has the support of both professional players and his former colleagues following his announcement. \u201cThank you Lando,\u201d said caster and analyst Miles Ross. \u201cThank you for your wit, your talent, the insane sound bites, your kindness, your voice and the seemingly endless supply of air in those lungs. Boundless passion, impossibly hard work, love and painful laughter are how I\u2019ll remember our time together. You are a brilliant person and a good friend. GGs brother.\u201d LandO does not yet know what is next for him in terms of casting or content creation. Additionally, the CDL has not revealed who may be replacing him as a caster for the upcoming year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Land0 retires from CDL casting just as MW3\u2019s season kicks off Twitter: LandOCall of Duty League caster Landon \u2018LandO\u2019 Sanders announced he will be taking a break from casting for the foreseeable furture.
