WestR \u2014 formerly of Atlanta FaZe Academy \u2014 consists of Thomas \u2018GRVTY\u2019 Malin, Paul \u2018PaulEhx\u2019 Avila, Carlos \u2018Venom\u2019 Hernandez and Alex \u2018Zaptius\u2019 Bonilla. After being a dominant force during the 2020 Challengers season, they\u2019ve carried their momentum into 2021 and have won the first four Challenger cups of the season, making short work of much of the competition. While you might expect most teams\u2019 good fortunes to eventually run out, but Scump and FormaL actually think differently, saying they believe WestR will dominate all season \u2014 and could go much further. During the January 20 episode of the OpTic Podcast, the group was discussing how New York Subliners can prepare for their season without ZooMaa following his injury-provoked retirement, when the topic of top amateurs came up. While they agreed that WestR are a really good team, FormaL said that how Challengers teams work is bound to keep WestR on top. He said: \u201cThe other teams that aren\u2019t winning the cup, they\u2019re just swapping players. Every week they\u2019re just beating up on new rosters over and over again.\u201d Scump agreed with FormaL\u2019s sentiment, but did also reiterate that they\u2019re a very good team, while reminding everyone that there are only very few players who come up from Challengers each year and make a big impact. Topic starts at 15:44 The gas didn\u2019t stop there, though, as they went on to explain that they think they would be pretty successful in the Call of Duty League, too. FormaL said: \u201cIf WestR came up together and got put in the pro league, they\u2019d be a good team.\u201d Scump agreed, adding that he would expect them to be a \u201ctop 6 to top 8\u201d team. While this is a big co-sign from some legends of the game, the team certainly look set up for success, and some even argue that they should have been signed by Paris Legion in the CDL. Needless to say, when they do make it into the league, they\u2019re going to want to make an impact.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scump &#038; FormaL claim this amateur squad would beat CDL pro teams YouTube: OpTic ChicagoSeth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner and Matthew \u2018FormaL\u2019 Piper are arguably two of the biggest names in Call of Duty history, and they\u2019ve now explained why they think the WestR Challengers team could seriously compete in the CDL.
