Minnesota ROKKR replaces GodRx with Exceed ahead of CDL Playoffs Call of Duty League[jwplayer N1RFqG2Z] Update (28\/07 \u2013 7:20 PM): The Minnesota R\u00f8kkr has since confirmed the roster shakeup involving GodRx and Exceed. In a July 28 video, Head Coach Brian \u2018Saintt\u2019 Baroskai and Lead Analyst Jake \u2018Reppin\u2019 Trobaugh explained the transition. In order to improve the team\u2019s speed in Modern Warfare, GodRx was forced off of the Assault Rifle and into a Submachine Gun role. Despite this change, results didn\u2019t improve for the lineup. \u201cUnfortunately, over the course of the two events, we haven\u2019t really seen too much of a fluctuation in performance,\u201d Trobaugh said. \u201d We have come to the conclusion that we\u2019re going to be swapping GodRx and Exceed,\u201d Baroskai confirmed. \u201cWe tried our hardest to keep this five from start to finish and it just got to a point where things simply weren\u2019t working.\u201d The original story is as follows. Call of Duty League roster shuffles could be back in full force ahead of the Playoffs on August 19 as the Minnesota R\u00f8kkr has been seen scrimming without Adam \u2018GodRx\u2019 Brown. As the best Call of Duty teams gear up for the Playoffs, rosters could be in for one final shakeup. The first CDL team to let slip its potential plans moving forward appears to be the Minnesotan squad. Eighth in the overall standings at the end of the regular season, R\u00f8kkr will begin its playoff run against the New York Subliners on August 20. This puts them in the upper side of the bracket. Therefore, $100,000 is the absolute minimum they can take home should they lose two games in a row. Obviously looking to push further into the bracket though, the CDL squad appears to be toying with the idea of benching GodRx. In his place, Kaden \u2018Exceed\u2019 Stockdale was seen scrimming against the Dallas Empire on July 28. A GameBattles listing appeared online and was shared by CDL Intel soon after. Exceed was playing as part of the R\u00f8kkr\u2019s starting lineup in a session against Dallas. While this could have just been an experiment, every set of scrims is vital in the lead up to the $4.6 million Championship event. The organization finished among the Top Four during its hometown launch weekend event in January. Since then, however, the team hasn\u2019t quite reached the same level of success. Back to back second-place finishes in Los Angeles and Dallas soon led to a downward trend. Since May 10 the R\u00f8kkr hasn\u2019t been able to crack into the Top Four at any Home Series event. Looking to revitalize the squad prior to Champs, Minnesota has made an early move. Tweets soon followed this Game Battles screenshot that all but confirmed the shakeup as well. \u201cAnd there it is,\u201d GodRx posted on July 28. Dexerto reached out to confirm his status on the lineup, though GodRx declined to comment further on his situation. While teams aren\u2019t able to make trades ahead of Champs, substitute players can still be rotated in and out. With three weeks to go, there\u2019s still plenty of time for more internal roster shuffles to come through. Whether GodRx makes his way back to the starting lineup in time, however, remains to be seen. The CDL Playoffs are right around the corner so be sure to check the final bracket to see which teams will be squaring off first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
