OpTic Crimsix shares thoughts on CWL Pro League rostermania, gives advice to fellow pros The winningest player in Call of Duty, Ian \u2018Crimsix\u2019 Porter, has shared his opinion on the CWL pro league roster trades that took place over the transfer period which closed on March 8. Crimsix began the video without one of his famous intro lines, stating that this was much more of a serious discussion. The OpTic Gaming star went on to sympathize with many of the players who lost their spot in the pro league and referred to some of the challenges he had with signing to organizations in the past as he gave advice to other players. Crimsix commented on the trades with the Midnight and Excelerate rosters, stating that a lot of the moves during the transfer period were probably being made with the franchising system in mind for next year: \u201cI think this was the main reason this rostermania happened. So many of the teams realized \u2018hey we\u2019re not gonna be in the league next year, let\u2019s just fuck over the players and make them sign some super-max deal so then we can sell them for as much money as possible\u2019.\u201d Read More: Call of Duty Pro League transfer period Rostermania hub The veteran believes that orgs are signing some of the big-name pro players who didn\u2019t qualify during this year\u2019s PLQ as they are likely to receive more money selling them in the future to franchise teams than keeping their original rosters. \u201dI\u2019m expecting every single big-name player to come to the league, even though they didn\u2019t qualify,\u201d he concluded. Crimsix also had some advice for players that have, or could in the future, found themselves in a difficult situation during roster transfers and contract negotiations. \u201cGetting an agent would help,\u201d he says, before explaining that the cost is worth it in the long run. \u201cAt the end of the day, you are paying for peace of mind. You are paying so you are not constantly worried about \u2018am I gonna get dropped?\u2019 pretty much.\u201d He also emphasized the importance for the young, up-and-coming players to build a personal brand on social media to use as leverage in contract negotiations towards the end of the video. \u201cWhen you have leverage, that\u2019s all you realistically need when you are a player talking to an org, trying to get what you want.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
