Nadeshot: 100 Thieves update on CDL \u2018LA Thieves\u2019 team isn\u2019t encouraging Instagram, @nadeshot[jwplayer br5AuoVJ] In light of the OpTic Gaming acquisition and speculation over 100 Thieves\u2019 possible Call of Duty League team, Matthew \u2018Nadeshot\u2019 Haag has stymied hopes and updated fans on the \u201cLA Thieves\u201d progress. Hector \u2018H3CZ\u2019 Rodriguez has made 2020 a little bit more palatable for Call of Duty fans by reportedly re-acquiring the OpTic Gaming IP and all of its underlying assets and resources. That puts him in and the CDL in an interesting position, as one owner cannot have a stake in two different teams, meaning that ownership of either the Chicago Huntsmen or OpTic Gaming Los Angeles will need to shift before the 2021 season. As H3CZ is likely to maintain his Chicago squad, who placed third in the inaugural CDL Champs, the Los Angeles team spot formerly occupied by OGLA is presumably open for grabs \u2014 an exciting opportunity for interested organizations given the absence of league expansion this offseason. One such organization is Nadeshot\u2019s 100 Thieves, who have long been the subject of discussion as fans hope for Nadeshot to return to CoD, particularly in LA. Unfortunately, while the 100T founder likes the \u201cLA Thieves\u201d name and would want to rejoin the professional scene where his career started, he wants to dispel hopes that it will be happening anytime soon. Nadeshot on LA Thieves CDL team: “”We\u2019re not really in a position to get back into Call of Duty \u2026 Maybe down the road.””#100T pic.twitter.com\/yZVsycymYS \u2014 th\u00e9o (@TheoSalaun) October 1, 2020 \u201cLA Thieves has a nice ring to it. But, guys, we\u2019re not really in a position to get back into Call of Duty. It\u2019s really, really expensive, so we\u2019ll see. Maybe down the road, in the future, I don\u2019t know, but I don\u2019t want you guys to get your hopes up.\u201d As he explains, buying a CDL spot is an incredibly hefty investment and he doesn\u2019t believe that 100T is able to take that on just yet. While he does appreciate the LA Thieves branding possibilities and cites the potential for them to join the CDL \u201cin the future,\u201d he is reluctant to promise anything to fans in the short term. Despite Nade curtailing hype, people remain convinced that his organization should be involved. With fans and professionals, like the Seattle Surge\u2019s Daniel \u2018Loony\u2019 Loza, chiming in, it appears obvious that the LA Thieves dream won\u2019t die, no matter how much it gets downplayed. Considering his close relationship with H3CZ, the CoD community likely hopes that 100T can receive somewhat of a discount for the acquisition. In the meantime, perhaps the general hype surrounding the LA Thieves will be enough to persuade investors to help foot the bill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
