ROKKR\u2019s Accuracy explains why it\u2019s best to have a hard CDL group Call of Duty LeagueNot reaching, then meeting, and then exceeding expectations \u2014 the Minnesota ROKKR have done it all this season. And Accuracy doesn\u2019t want it to get any easier for his team in CDL Stage 3. The Minnesota ROKKR are in an interesting position this season. Having fully dismantled and rebuilt their roster after 2020, the team had a rough 1-4 stretch into March and made another change \u2014 replacing veteran Michael \u2018MajorManiak\u2019 Szymaniak with rookie Eli \u2018Standy\u2019 Bentz. After the Standy addition, the ROKKR went 4-1 over their next five games. Things looked bright, but Minnesota have yet to surpass a 3-2 record in either Stage Major and now sit at a completely balanced 7-7 on the season. The road might look easier, but there are still obstacles. And, in a Dexerto interview, Lamar \u2018Accuracy\u2019 Abedi revealed that he the road to be obstructed. Speaking on the level of play in their Call of Duty League group for Stage 3, the veteran AR elaborated on why he doesn\u2019t want comfortable competition. NO easy groups! \ud83e\udd4a @AccuracyLA shares his thoughts on @ROKKR\u2019s Stage 3 chances.#CDL2021 | #ROKKR pic.twitter.com\/Y2mFjO1WAd \u2014 Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) April 23, 2021 In Stage 3, the ROKKR are in Group A alongside the reigning CDL 2020 Champion Dallas Empire, reigning Stage 2 Champion Toronto Ultra and two revamped, high-ceiling teams in the Florida Mutineers and Paris Legion. As Accuracy explains, he wants that group to be as difficult as it seems like it can be on paper: \u201cI like to go through the gauntlet first and then come into the Major instead of just jogging our way through the groups.\u201d While some fans might prefer the comfort correlated with a light stroll through group play, Accuracy thinks that\u2019s counterproductive. Instead, the eight-year veteran wants placement matches to feel like a \u201cgauntlet\u201d of hyper-competitive battles. To some, Group B looks like the more dangerous camp. But Accuracy believes both are formidable and that bears well for teams with growth mindsets: \u201cNo group\u2019s gonna be easy in the CDL, they\u2019re always hard. I haven\u2019t had an easy one so far. So I\u2019m excited, it always makes fun for good matches, good prep for the major.\u201d Coalescing with a rookie player and a role swap for Preston \u2018Priestahh\u2019 Grenier, Accuracy wants this team to test its mettle against the toughest of slates.

When it comes to confronting a difficult group, his focus is solely on the ROKKR\u2019s progress: \u201cWe\u2019re just gonna work as hard as ever and we have to try to outperform the great teams that are in our group.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
