Reedy insults qualified team after missing out on CWL Pro League Professional Call of Duty player Jordan \u2018Reedy\u2019 Reed has hit out at MLG and the CWL format in a series of tweets, after failing to qualify for the CWL Pro League. Reedy and his team, playing under The Imperial, placed 6th in their group, missing out on the chance of qualifying for the 2018 CWL Pro League. It was a close call, as both The Imperial and 5th placed team Movistar Riders finished with a 2-4 record, but the Spanish side took the spot thanks to their head-to-head record vs The Imperial. Following his team\u2019s elimination from the qualifier, Reedy took to social media to express his discontent with the format, even calling one of the qualified teams, Midnight Esports, \u201cshitters\u201d. Because there is only one stage of the Pro League this year, there are no second chances for many of these players, whose competitive options are now limited to the open events and qualifying for the world championship. Reedy feels that despite the five day LAN qualifier, it still isn\u2019t as robust a system as he would like. Team owner confirms franchising will come to Call of Duty next seasonMidnight player Dylan \u2018Envoy\u2019 Hannon didn\u2019t take kindly to Reedy\u2019s insult, and hit back, saying \u201cwe could have beat your team with our hands tied behind our back.\u201d we could have beat your team with our hands tied behind our backs, lmao. \u2014 Dylan (@DylanEnvoy) January 20, 2019 Update, 10:50AM EST: Reedy\u2019s organization, The Imperial, have publicly stated that they do not condone the Tweets which are circulating, stating it is \u201cnot in line with The Imperial\u2019s standards or morals.\u201d We are aware of the tweets circulating around. We would just like to say that we condone any behaviour like that and it does not stand in line with The Imperial’s standards or morals. The support our fans have shown us this event has been appreciated. #TheImperialEmpire :fire: \u2014 The Imperial (@theimperialgg) January 20, 2019 Update, 3:30PM EST: Reedy has now apologized for his comments and deleted his original Tweets. He states that he will make a YouTube video to clarify his thoughts. Former professional player turned analyst at MLG, Jonathan \u2018Pacman\u2019 Tucker, also disagreed strongly with Reedy, saying this was the best system for qualification that had ever been in place. No system is perfect. This is the best qualification system that MLG has ever done. LP didn\u2019t win a series. No way you think that is the fault of the system \u2014 Jonathan Tucker (@PacmanJT) January 20, 2019 Reedy wasn\u2019t done either, as he closed his rant by suggesting that the Midnight Esports players wouldn\u2019t still be playing in the league in two months time. Who wants to put a bet on, that all of them mightnight players aren\u2019t playing in the league in 2 months lmao. \u2014 Reedy (@Reedy_1905) January 20, 2019 The format for qualification has generally been well received by other players and by the fans, although having only one stage for the Pro League does leave any teams that miss out feeling hopeless for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
