New York Subliners CDL bust-up explained: HyDra vs Crimsix feud, The Flank & more Call of Duty LeagueOn August 14 at 11.59 PM PT, Call of Duty League pros whose contracts had run out, or their team options were not being extended, could enter the free agency market. While several players posted their FA status, the New York Subliners had a cataclysmic implosion broadcast for all to see on \u2018The Flank\u2019 livestream. The New York Subliners had one of the more memorable runs to Champs during the 2022 season, qualifying by the skin of their teeth with an emphatic journey through Major 4 that saw them place as runners-up to eventual world champions, LA Thieves. While things seemed fine, the team appears to have actually been on the ropes for the duration of the season, and now, finally, the players and coaches alike have spoken out, both against each other and against the situations they found themselves in. Here\u2019s the full rundown on the New York Subliners drama as the 2022 season finally reaches its close. NYSL player beef: HyDra, Crimsix, Neptune & PaulEhx By all accounts, it seems like the dynamic between players has been flawed ever since the start, which seems plausible given the way players like Travis \u2018Neptune\u2019 McCloud and James \u2018Clayster\u2019 Eubanks were removed from the side, and their poor results prior. However, the situation ran much deeper, with accusations being thrown between players as they appeared on former CoD pro Thomas \u2018ZooMaa\u2019 Paparatto\u2019s CDL Twitch show, The Flank. According to Paul \u2018PaulEhx\u2019 Avila, the Subliners had already started preparing for new players to come in before Major 4 had even kicked off, with Paco \u2018HyDra\u2019 Rusiewiez reportedly bringing Florida Mutineers\u2019 franchise AR Cesar \u2018Skyz\u2019 Bueno into the team. On the subject of Neptune, Crimsix apologized for calling him \u201cthe worst sub in the league\u201d at the start of the season, saying that he intended for it to fire the young star up, not bring him down, saying he only did it because he cared about him. HyDra also reportedly said that he was \u201creminded of how much he hates\u201d his now-former teammates every time he jumped into a call with them and heard their voices. The French star accused Ian \u2018Crimsix\u2019 Porter of racism over a comment made about HyDra\u2019s Algerian heritage, reportedly asking \u201cwho cares about Algeria\u201d when the topic came up. Crimsix claimed it was just a joke but admitted that he shouldn\u2019t have said it. He also claimed HyDra never mentioned it when it happened, and thus wasn\u2019t aware of how HyDra felt about it. Crimsix ended the call saying that HyDra is \u201cdead to him\u201d and \u201cthe coldest motherf**ker I\u2019ve teamed with in a while.\u201d NYSL coach & player bust-up Crimsix went on to accuse head coach Javed \u2018DREAL\u2019 Ehsan of favoritism in regards to HyDra, not receiving as much criticism for his lack of effort as the rest of the team. Not only that, but he also accused DREAL of not allowing fellow coach John \u2018Revan\u2019 Boble to speak in practice, to which DREAL responded, saying that \u201cI didn\u2019t say that at all\u201d and that Revan \u201cdidn\u2019t want to talk.\u201d The Brit then joined the Flank call to give his side of the story, saying that Boble simply didn\u2019t speak up when the team asked for coaches to have more input. Both Crimsix and Paul agreed that this was true. After his appearance on The Flank, DREAL responded on Twitter, saying the claims \u201cweren\u2019t true in the slightest\u201d and that \u201cwe all need to hold ourselves accountable.\u201d Crimsix posts statement apologizing & clarifying Several hours after the stream and with the CoD community still reeling from everything that had gone down, Crimsix posted a Twitlonger clarifying some of his comments as well as apologizing for what had gone down, addressing each major point one-by-one. He said he \u201cfeels awful\u201d for his teammates for the Algeria comment and how it ended up affecting their team, claiming to be \u201cp**sed\u201d at HyDra for not just hashing out the issue as soon as it arose. He also addressed the Neptune apology, saying that he \u201cfeels horrible\u201d for doing more harm than good in some cases where he\u2019s been hard on teammates. Finally, he addressed his future, hinting that his team situation isn\u2019t anywhere close to finalized yet. \u201cIf I don\u2019t find a new home for 2023, just know that I am aware that I am the only one to blame as these trends and my character could be things teams want to steer clear from,\u201d he said. \u201cBut I refuse to be anyone but myself, for good, the bad, and the ugly.\u201d There was clearly a lot of bad blood on the Subliners roster this year, but how it affects each of their careers going forward remains to be seen. It\u2019s fair to say that Crimsix, the unanimous GOAT of the esport, would leave a big hole if he wasn\u2019t in the league in 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
