Pro Call of Duty players bash UYU for controversial roster change just days before CWL Pro League UYU\u2019s announcement of a roster change for the Call of Duty pro team has created a heavy stir of controversy as several prominent pro players have publicly lashed out at the org. On January 30, UYU announced that Anthony \u2018Methodz\u2019 Zinni, their newly acquired substitute for CWL Pro League, was to be promoted to the starting team, trading places with Tristan \u2018Spoof\u2019 Green. This immediately garnered a negative reaction from the community since the news had come as a total surprise to Spoof, who will be losing his status as a pro player without having played a single pro match. Some of the biggest names in the scene were quick to take shots at the org, calling them unfaithful and bashing them for turning their backs on a player who had been a big reason why the team had qualified for the Pro League in the first place. Things got even messier when Spoof revealed that the players\u2019 had decided to pick up Parasite as their substitute, not Methodz, but the organization\u2019s higher-ups overruled that decision and went with the latter. We chose Haggy and UYU chose Methodz. Said it would help with sponsorship requests equating to more money for us (Being an underpaid team) Team had no idea UYU’s plans for it until last night then they voted me out. \u2014 TRISTAN (@TristanSpoof) January 30, 2019 This decision was openly questioned by Team Envy\u2019s Patrick \u2018ACHES\u2019 Price, who surmised that the org had ulterior motives to making this move. Haggy has a much bigger following than Methodz on almost every platform, you had to know something was fishy from the RIP https:\/\/t.co\/fbEn1apH4y \u2014 Patrick Price (@ACHES) January 30, 2019 Red Reserve player Trei \u2018Zer0\u2019 Morris was not very kind in his assessment of UYU, calling it a \u201cdodgy place to be.\u201d Interested to see what will ho on during the league, UYU seems like a dodgy place to be. \u2014 Trei S0ngz (@TreiZer0) January 30, 2019 He also was very concerned about the lack of job security for competitive CoD players, claiming that many organizations will look to profit from players then leave them in the dust. Cant buy abit of security for players nowadays orgs be real booky in 2019 teej, tryna secure a bag then dip on everyone \u2014 Trei S0ngz (@TreiZer0) January 30, 2019 OpTic Gaming\u2019s Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner responded to Zer0\u2019s tweet with a prediction that a roster change this early would only spell doom for everyone else that\u2019s currently on the UYU roster. They dropped one before any matches lol. It\u2019s gonna be a ffa after the unlock date \u2014 Seth Abner (@OpTic_Scumper) January 30, 2019 Scump\u2019s OpTic teammate Thomas \u2018TJHaLy\u2019 Haly also responded to Zer0, and expressed his agreement by using a classic British slang that means \u201cdodgy.\u201d Parasite, the player who was supposedly in line to join UYU as their Pro League substitute, had a long series of tweets reacting to the whole fiasco. This is a business yeah I\u2019d be mad if it happened to me because I\u2019m passionate about my job but regardless it\u2019s a business and it should work like one. Still feel bad for anyone that gets left out but it is what it is bros. https:\/\/t.co\/n1WGOdpNik \u2014 Christopher Duarte (@Parasite) January 30, 2019 If this happened to me id be mad at my organization and the players for the decision NOT THE RULES. NOT CWL. NOT MLG https:\/\/t.co\/nzMWKROLCV \u2014 Christopher Duarte (@Parasite) January 30, 2019 That\u2019s the last ill speak on the situation. I feel bad for players that get left out of situations like this. But like I\u2019ve come to learn from the countless times I\u2019ve been dropped on my ass, protect yourself in your contracts. Have a good day everybody. \u2014 Christopher Duarte (@Parasite) January 30, 2019 Here are other reactions from some of the biggest names in the competitive CoD community, virtually all of whom were very displeased with UYU\u2019s decision. Methodz is my guy, but you guys as an organization are whack af to bench anyone if you qualified through pools and not even bracket. \u2014 OpTic Ral (@Rallied) January 30, 2019 They were getting smoked and turned it around through crazy clutches. Spoof has been an AM for years and finally qualifies just to be robbed like that. That\u2019s actually disgusting IMO. YEARS of grinding to be dropped for 150K more followers. WHACK. \u2014 OpTic Ral (@Rallied) January 30, 2019 With all this uYu talk, great time to promote my latest YouTube video!https:\/\/t.co\/eStaDuLqqG pic.twitter.com\/caUnfHu7al \u2014 eU Clayster (@Clayster) January 30, 2019 This has always been a possibility in every pro league, every year, only thing that stops orgs from dropping players in this way is a contract clause. I also hope UYU as an org never finds success or support because regardless of legality and rules, its a dick move. :smiley: \u2014 John (@JohnnyisTsunami) January 30, 2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
