Prestinni hints at competitive CoD break following Seattle Surge release CDLFormer Call of Duty World Champion Preston \u2018Prestinni\u2019 Sanderson has hinted at a break from competitive CoD, following Seattle Surge\u2019s decision to part with its entire CDL roster. While a season as disappointing as the Seattle Surge\u2019s was bound to raise questions over the players\u2019 futures, the west-coast org still shocked many fans of competitive CoD when, on August 20, they confirmed that their entire roster had been dropped. The news, coming halfway through the Call of Duty League Championships, resulted in acrimonious words from some former players, like Samuel \u2018Octane\u2019 Larew.

Not sure yet. Love y\u2019all.\u201d Ayo! On a real note, idk what I\u2019ll be doing. So many things I wanna do and I\u2019m not sure competing is at the top of the list at the moment.

Love y\u2019all \u2764\ufe0f\ud83d\ude01 \u2014 Preston (@Prestinni) August 20, 2021 The 23-year-old experienced major successes prior to the CDL\u2019s inception, winning a host of tournaments with eUnited, including the Black Ops 4 World Championships. However, his time in the CDL has been split between the Florida Mutineers, Chicago Huntsmen, and Seattle Surge, with none of the teams providing a long-term or particularly auspicious home. Sanderson did not offer any clues as to where his future lies if not competing, but he did rule out a role as a caster. I am not nearly talented enough and my anxiety would kill me on camera \ud83d\ude02no shot \u2014 Preston (@Prestinni) August 20, 2021 A number of ex-CoD pros have gone into content creation and Warzone, but only time will tell if that\u2019s the path Prestinni opts for. His proven talent in esports means there will likely be opportunities to remain in the CDL but, after a couple of difficult and nomadic years, some time away from the highest level of CoD may be what\u2019s called for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
