Simp joined the FaZe Clan-affiliated CDL team after back-to-back event wins in Black Ops 4, including a World Championship, alongside Tyler \u2018Abezy\u2019 Pharris, Michael \u2018MajorManiak\u2019 Szymaniak, Preston \u2018Priestahh\u2019 Griener and Jovel \u2018Cellium\u2019 McArthur. Having been arguably the best Black Ops 4 player in the world, Simp has now made his opinion known on which player he believes is the best so far in Modern Warfare \u2013 and it\u2019s not a name you might expect. In an appearance on Anthony \u2018Nameless\u2019 Wheeler\u2019s CoDCast podcast, Simp and his hosts were talking about Cellium, with the 18-year-old singing his Atlanta teammate\u2019s praises. This led to Nameless asking Simp who he believes the best player so far is in Modern Warfare, based off of the online play they\u2019ve had so far. \u201cI feel like it\u2019s him [Cellium] or Abezy, but that\u2019s so biased,\u201d he said. \u201cI definitely think Abezy is one of the best, he\u2019s f**king nasty.\u201d Nameless pressed Simp over which player he believes to be the best outside of his Atlanta teammates, but he struggled to come up with a concrete choice. Finally, when asked which players he finds most difficult to play against, he said Indervir \u2018iLLeY\u2019 Dhaliwal and Anthony \u2018Shotzzy\u2019 Cuevas-Castro, Dallas Empire young guns who are yet to make their LAN debut on the professional Call of Duty circuit. These choices definitely line up with a lot of what people have been saying in regards to which teams are the best in the game, with Dallas and Atlanta being a near-synonymous top two. With these two teams facing off against each other in the CDL\u2019s opening weekend in Minnesota, all eyes will be on Cellium, Abezy, Illey, Shotzzy and Simp himself to see who can help their team take the crown \u2013 for the time being, at least. It has been revealed that Atlanta FaZe recently went on a truly ridiculous run of wins in scrims, so they may be favorites heading into the opening weekend \u2013 but only time will tell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Simp reveals best Modern Warfare players ahead of CDL launch weekend Unsplash: Liam Arning \/ Astro GamingAtlanta FaZe Call of Duty star Chris \u2018Simp\u2019 Lehr has revealed who the best Modern Warfare pro is ahead of the opening weekend of the Call of Duty League in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
