Paris Legion CDL 2021 preview: mountain to climb for ragtag roster Call of Duty LeagueThe newly formed Paris Legion roster has the odds stacked against them heading into the 2021 Call of Duty League season, with a varied group of players from different backgrounds, it\u2019s going to be an uphill battle but major upsets could still be in the cards. After a relatively poor showing throughout the inaugural season, Paris Legion was one of a few teams to dump its entire roster. All starting and substitute players were let go to make way for a random assortment of new additions that no one could have predicted. The new lineup has a wealth of experience behind them, but these players have actually never worked together before. There\u2019s no history among the group and no cohesion within the team just yet. While they should be outclassed by most competitors on paper in 2021, there\u2019s still a chance Legion\u2019s new lineup could cause some big upsets this year. Paris Legion CDL 2021 roster Paris Legion shifting gears in 2021 With the original Legion roster, there was some kind of direction when building the team. You had a trio of experienced Aussies joining a handful of Europe\u2019s top prospects. The combination made some amount of sense. With the new Legion roster, however, it appears as though there\u2019s very little direction behind it. You\u2019ve now got a random amalgamation of CDL talent hopping into the lobby with an unknown quantity in Fire. Skrapz, AquA, and Classic have almost two decades of combined experience. They\u2019ve seen and done it all over the years with time spent under many of the most reputable organizations in the world. Moreover, they all have a year of CDL experience under their belt. Skrapz helped lead the Royal Ravens to a fourth-place finish at last year\u2019s Champs. Classic secured a Home Series win in Week 13 with Toronto Ultra. While AquA\u2019s best placement came in Week 9 with a Top Four finish. \ud83c\uddeb\ud83c\uddf7 D\u00e9couvrez notre nouveau roster pour la saison 2021. #EnGarde @skrapzg @Fire40 @UAquaa @Classic Coach : @DMTheory pic.twitter.com\/yoTNStWgeR \u2014 Vegas Legion (@LasVegasLegion) December 31, 2020 Meanwhile, the 18-year-old up and comer Fire, has barely a few months of experience at the amateur level. His initial run in the NA Challengers circuit saw nothing but Top Four finishes from June to August in 2020. Despite his lack of pro experience, Fire has already proven to be one of the hottest rookies to keep an eye on this year. While not much to go off, Legion\u2019s first showing against the London Royal Ravens in the Kickoff Classic gave us our first look at the team in action.

Having only just come together in recent weeks, Legion has very little time to properly mesh and work on strategies for the upcoming season. That being said, their raw gun skill might just be enough to help them overcome this hurdle while they get used to one another. Not only is their first time playing together, but they\u2019ve \u201cbarely even spoken before,\u201d Skrapz said in a post-game interview on January 25. \u201cI\u2019m really enjoying it though, all three of them want to get better. Every single day\u2019s a grind.\u201d While they might not be closing out Majors and sweeping the best teams in the league, there\u2019s certainly potential for Legion to be a dark horse in 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
