Simp reveals how Clayster started his pro Call of Duty career MLG \/ ActivisionAtlanta FaZe star Chris \u2018Simp\u2019 Lehr explained how Call of Duty veteran James \u2018Clayster\u2019 Eubanks helped him during the early stages of his time competing and claimed that he \u201caccelerated\u201d his career as a pro player. After winning CoD Champs 2019 and receiving the MVP award with eUnited during his rookie year, Simp is still looked at as one of the most dangerous players to face in the Call of Duty League. The 19-year-old star is now competing under Atlanta FaZe with an explosive, star-studded roster and he and his team are one of the top contenders at the final tournament of the year, once again. Although he was not lacking in skills, Simp revealed that when he was still making a name for himself as an SnD player, one pro player, in particular, played a huge role in fast-tracking his career to the top. Lehr claimed that his former teammate and Call of Duty legend Clayster was a huge help as he was coming up, revealing that he had been \u2018one of his first friends and a mentor,\u2019 in his feature with ThePlayersTribune. \u201cBut somebody who helped in a different way was Clayster,\u201d Simp explained. \u201cHe followed my amateur career and reached out to me a few times. He was always there if I had any questions or needed anything.\u201d Simp first began turning heads during the Call of Duty: WWII season and explained that Clayster was one of the first to highlight his rise, \u201cwhen he helped get me some attention in 2018 when he was with eUnited, it accelerated my career.\u201d After a year under eUnited\u2019s academy team or the \u201ceUnited Cadets\u201d, alongside other upcoming stars such as iLLeY and Cellium, Simp was promoted to the main roster before having an incredible run in 2019. \u201cLike I always believed deep down I\u2019d make it one day,\u201d he later admitted, \u201cbut without Clay\u2019s help I don\u2019t think I\u2019d have been part of the eUnited team in 2019.\u201d Simp will be looking to go back-to-back at this year\u2019s CDL Playoffs, however, his old teammate, Clayster, is also in the running, with the Dallas Empire on the opposite side of the bracket.
