The team previously released their entire 2021 roster on August 20. The Seattle Surge are likely to be the next Call of Duty League team to announce their 2022 after releasing an announcement teaser on Twitter. The tweet read \u201cKeep an eye out this week\u2026 #WhatsInTheWater\u201d and was accompanied by a 17-second video of the Surge\u2019s logo rising out of a stormy ocean as ominous music plays and morse code spells out \u2018INTEL INCOMING\u2019. New-look Surge The Seattle Surge is one of the Call of Duty League teams undergoing a complete rebuild ahead of the 2022 season. They were one of the league\u2019s worst teams across its first two seasons, finishing 11th in Season 1 and 9th in Season 2. Despite the talented rosters they have fielded, they have never been able to achieve consistent results. Keep an eye out this week\u2026 #WhatsInTheWater pic.twitter.com\/Op1F77kIab \u2014 Seattle Surge (@SeattleSurge) September 13, 2021 The announcement of a roster reveal comes nearly a month after they released their entire 2021 roster with the apparent intention of starting completely from scratch. The Surge was one of the teams whose alleged 2022 roster was leaked by Twitter account @INTELCallofDuty on September 3. The leaked roster has the Surge building a young team that can hopefully grow into a contender over the new few seasons. Seattle Surge reportedly have their lineup for CDL 2022 \ud83d\udc40 \u2022 @AccuracyLA \u2022 @MackMelts \u2022 @SibDMDL \u2022 @Pred_RNG(per @INTELCallofDuty) pic.twitter.com\/lgic1LCl5o \u2014 Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) September 3, 2021 25-year-old Lamar \u2018Accuracy\u2019 Abedi will allegedly be the Surge\u2019s veteran leader. He was a starter for the Minnesota R\u00d8KKR in 2021 until being benched for the second half of the season. He was released by Minnesota at the start of the offseason. Accuracy was quick to post following Seattle\u2019s announcement. Seattle all but confirmed the signing later on September 14, dropping another video whose morse code translated to \u201cThe water is freezing over\u201d, most likely a reference to Accuracy\u2019s nickname \u2013 The Ice Man. MESSAGE_001: Received.#WhatsInTheWater pic.twitter.com\/0clAsvm39o \u2014 Seattle Surge (@SeattleSurge) September 14, 2021 19-year-old Makenzie \u2018Mack\u2019 Kelley has played the last two seasons for the New York Subliners but reports have him being sold to Seattle as New York looks to build a win-now roster. Mack\u2019s stats were very middle of the pack for 2021, but maybe a change of scenery will help him find his form. The Surge\u2019s September 16 post was their clearest of the first three, with a morse code message that read \u201cInbound New York Mack truck\u201d. MESSAGE_003: Received. #WhatsInTheWater pic.twitter.com\/Hq9nMWzTgO \u2014 Seattle Surge (@SeattleSurge) September 16, 2021 19-year-old Duante \u2018Sib\u2019 Grey is a product of the Atlanta FaZe academy but has never been able to break into the starting lineup. Listed as FaZe\u2019s substitute for 2021, he spent most of the season on loan. A move to Seattle will give him the chance to show what he can really do. Seattle\u2019s September 15 teaser translated to \u201cSay hello to my little friend\u201d. Initially causing some confusion that the Surge had signed Anthony \u201cMethodz\u201d Zinni, fans later pointed to this potentially confirming Sib, whose favorite movie is reportedly Scarface. MESSAGE_002: Received. #WhatsInTheWater pic.twitter.com\/X8NVFhmeDj \u2014 Seattle Surge (@SeattleSurge) September 15, 2021 Amer \u2018Pred\u2019 Zulbeari may be Seattle\u2019s most intriguing pickup. While he has no CDL experience, the Australian has been part of a Renegades team that has absolutely dominated APAC Challengers for the past two years. If he can maintain that level of play in the CDL, he might be an early contender for 2022 Rookie of the Year. Pred also teased an announcement of his own on Twitter following Seattle\u2019s post. Seattle\u2019s fourth morse code teaser, posted on September 17, appeared to confirm that Pred was Seattle-bound. MESSAGE_004: Received. #WhatsInTheWater pic.twitter.com\/zhWo87Fy7F \u2014 Seattle Surge (@SeattleSurge) September 17, 2021 The message translated to \u201cHe\u2019s still on the island\u201d, likely a reference to Pred\u2019s Australian homeland. Whether this is the roster that Seattle will debut, we will have to wait and see until their official announcement at an unspecified time this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seattle Surge tease 2022 CDL roster announcement Call of Duty LeagueThe Call of Duty League\u2019s Seattle Surge teased the announcement of their 2022 roster with a post on Twitter.
