Atlanta FaZe & Minnesota ROKKR reveal surprise new 2021 CDL rosters Atlanta FaZe \/ Minnesota ROKKRThe tornado that is the Call of Duty League Rostermania continues to spin as both the Atlanta FaZe and Minnesota ROKKR have announced their full starting lineups for the upcoming 4v4 season in 2021. With the free-agent signing moratorium finally lifted on September 14, CDL teams who don\u2019t have full rosters yet are starting to announce their new players for the 2021 campaign. A day after Dashy\u2019s high-profile move to the Chicago Huntsmen became official, the man he replaced \u2013 Arcitys \u2013 signed with Atlanta FaZe, completing their lineup for next season. FaZe had an open roster to fill after announcing that Priestahh and MajorManiak would be departing (more on those two below). This reunites Arcitys with former eUnited teammates Simp and aBeZy; the trio, along with Clayster and Alec\u2019s twin brother, Prestinni, won the Call of Duty World League Championship in 2019 with eUnited. DESTINY HAS ARRIVED IN 4V4 \ud83d\ude08 And it’s teaming up with the Tiny Terrors, just in time for Cold War. Welcome to Atlanta FaZe @Arcitys; the FINAL BOSS. #EZAF pic.twitter.com\/TUDcZtqQSn \u2014 Atlanta FaZe (@ATLFaZe) September 15, 2020 Atlanta FaZe 2021 CDL starting lineup Chris \u2018Simp\u2019 Lehr – Tyler \u2018aBeZy\u2019 Pharris – McArthur \u2018Cellium\u2019 Jovel – Alec \u2018Arcitys\u2019 Sanderson – Atlanta FaZe departing players Preston \u2018Priestahh\u2019 Greiner – Michael \u2018MajorManiak\u2019 Szymaniak – Priestahh and MajorManiak wouldn\u2019t remain in limbo for long, however, as moments after FaZe announced their departures, the Minnesota ROKKR unveiled them as part of their 2021 lineup, which also includes Attach and Accuracy, formerly of the New York Subliners. The ROKKR, of course, were free to recruit all four after getting rid of their entire roster just prior to the signing period. Let’s make it happen #ROKKR pic.twitter.com\/Jq6028qCw8 \u2014 Minnesota R\u00d8KKR (@ROKKR) September 15, 2020 Minnesota ROKKR 2021 CDL starting lineup Lamar \u2018Accuracy\u2019 Abedi – Dillon \u2018Attach\u2019 Price – Michael \u2018MajorManiak\u2019 Szymaniak – Preston \u2018Priestahh\u2019 Greiner – Interestingly enough, Accuracy is the only player from that group that was officially a free agent prior to this announcement. The other three were still under contract with their respective franchises but their departures were announced just moments before ROKKR unveiled their new team. The Subliners tweeted about Attach\u2019s departure, thanking him for his contributions and wishing him good luck in the future. NYSL had an up-and-down season in 2020, starting off slow before noticeably improving down the stretch and even picking up a tournament victory at their own Home Series. Thank you @Attach for all that you’ve done for the team this season. You represented New York well, and we are grateful for all your contributions. Wishing you the best of luck in your next chapter. #NYSL pic.twitter.com\/FcXRGtwX0V \u2014 Subliners (@Subliners) September 15, 2020 Atlanta FaZe expressed similar sentiments in their own posts about Priestahh and MajorManiak, which included videos featuring the two players talking about their lone season with the team. https:\/\/twitter.com\/ATLFaZe\/status\/1305929797009379328 The oldest player in the league comes with its perks \u2013 wisdom, teamwork, and an immense amount of kindness. Add that on top of being great at Call of Duty, and its a scary mix. We know you’ll continue to show all your talents & more in your next journey. Thank you @majormaniak pic.twitter.com\/NZT0d5Y4oW \u2014 Atlanta FaZe (@ATLFaZe) September 15, 2020 The two were instrumental in FaZe\u2019s tremendous 2020 campaign, which saw them capture the best record in the regular season and finish second to the Dallas Empire at the CDL Championship Weekend. Their vaunted \u2018Tiny Terrors\u2019 lineup was considered by many to be the most talented in the league, but with the format shifting to 4v4, fans recognized that one of these two were the likeliest to be the odd man out. That\u2019s why a lot of people were caught by surprise when the organization announced that both would be leaving. Priestahh, who is regarded as a top-tier player, fell off considerably in the final third of the season, while MajorManiak was always a candidate to be dropped since most rank him below everyone else on the team. With Atlanta in the market for a fourth starter, who better to pick up than the experienced and proven Arcitys, who\u2019s already lifted CoD esports\u2019 ultimate prize with two of FaZe\u2019s players. That was during the Black Ops 4 season, and with the next game in line \u2013 Black Ops Cold War \u2013 also developed by Treyarch, the organization is hoping to rekindle some of that dominant magic that led eUnited all the way to the top.
