Parasite reportedly set to join London Royal Ravens for CDL 2021 season Midnight Esports \/ Twitter, @RoyalRavensRecent reports suggest that World Champion Christopher \u2018Parasite\u2019 Duarte is set to join the Call of Duty League\u2019s London Royal Ravens, as the CDL team struggles to overcome 2021 visa issues. Sources have told Dot Esports\u2019 Corey Davis that veteran CoD pro colloquially known as \u201cHaggy\u201d could soon be making his highly anticipated debut in the CDL. A professional competitor since 2011, Parasite couldn\u2019t crack a CDL roster in 2020\u2019s Modern Warfare seaon and was relegated to competing for various Challengers teams during the season. Now, as the Royal Ravens deal with visa issues surrounding Trei \u2018Zer0\u2019 Morris and the recently signed Marcus \u2018Afro\u2019 Reid, the team has elected to bring on a player already located in North America to avoid ping issues. Should the deal become official, this would put Parasite directly into a starting lineup for the foreseeable future depending on visa developments. According to reports, Royal Ravens have elected to sign Parasite after previous negotiations with WestR\u2019s Paul \u2018PaulEhx\u2019 Avila fell through. With the team unable to sign the Challengers standout or get the aforementioned Zer0 and Afro into the United States, they\u2019re apparently turning to the formerly scouted Parasite. A 2013 world champion, Parasite nearly cracked London\u2019s 2020 roster until the team opted to sign Rhys \u2018Rated\u2019 Price instead \u2014 who was subsequently benched and now plays Warzone for 100 Thieves. A year later, visas allow Parasite his chance to assume a starting role in the league. Contract details remain nebulous, but Davis reports that the team has begun scrimming immediately with the new signee. This means that the team has about two weeks to practice, allowing a chance to improve upon a difficult 2-3 loss to the Paris Legion during the CDL Kickoff Classic. London\u2019s first official match will be on February 14, when the team faces the Seattle Surge during the Atlanta FaZe Home Series. It\u2019s unclear why PaulEhx declined the Royal Ravens offer, but some have speculated it\u2019s because they were only putting forward a short-term contract. If so, then Parasite\u2019s deal may be similarly temporary. Nonetheless, if the deal is finalized, London\u2019s opening lineup should be set. London Royal Ravens 2021 CDL Lineup (reported) Sean \u2018Seany\u2019 O\u2019Connor (Starter) – Alex \u2018Alexx\u2019 Carpenter (Starter) – Thomas \u2018Dylan\u2019 Henderson (Starter) – Christopher \u2018Parasite\u2019 Duarte (Starter) – Trei \u2018Zer0\u2019 Morris (Substitute) – Marcus \u2018Afro\u2019 Reid (Substitute) – You can catch up on all of this offseason\u2019s player signings and team changes with our CDL 2021 RosterMania hub.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
