Skrapz addresses rumors that entire Royal Ravens CDL roster was dropped London Royal Ravens[jwplayer EM7ByTrZ] There are rumors swirling that the London Royal Ravens are dropping their entire roster from the 2020 Call of Duty League\u2019s season, but star man Matthew \u2018Skrapz\u2019 Marshall has since responded to the speculation. With the 2020 CDL season now officially in the books, the freight train that is Rostermania has begun churning its wheels for what many expect to be a news-filled offseason period. The league\u2019s decision to shift the competitive format back to 4v4 for 2021 means that at least 12 players (one from each team) will lose their starting job. The first casualty of this change was James \u2018Clayster\u2019 Eubanks, who hit free agency after the Dallas Empire shockingly made him the odd man out of their championship-winning squad. Now, it appears that the entire Royal Ravens roster \u2013 the same one that led them to a surprising fourth-place finish at Champs \u2013 could suffer the same fate. On September 1, Bradley \u2018wuskin\u2019 Marshall was overheard talking to Skrapz on stream, and after wuskin held the phone close to his microphone for his viewers to hear, his twin brother said, \u201cWe\u2019re free agents on the 13th.\u201d Not many of his audience bought it at first, thinking that the veteran was joking around, but wuskin stated again that he\u2019s \u201cnot trolling\u201d and that he had a call earlier in the day confirming the situation. However, when these clips began going viral on social media, Skrapz stepped in to address all the speculation and clarified that what his brother had said isn\u2019t as dire as it sounds. According to the former FaZe Clan pro, the reason why he and his teammates are technically becoming free agents is that they\u2019ll be given an opportunity to negotiate new contracts ahead of next season. He followed that up by also directly denying that wuskin had been \u201cfully dropped.\u201d According to the league\u2019s rules regarding this offseason, any player who doesn\u2019t get extended by September 6 automatically gets their contract terminated and becomes a free agent. That\u2019s not to say, of course, that those players will have to leave. Instead, they can simply negotiate and sign a new deal with that team, maybe for more years, money, or both \u2013 and this appears to be what\u2019s happening with the Royal Ravens, at least according to Skrapz\u2019s tweets.

All that said though, the roster won\u2019t be completely devoid of casualties: Veteran pro Jordan \u2018Jurd\u2019 Crowley announced on September 1 that he\u2019s an unrestricted free agent for the 2021 season, meaning he\u2019s been fully let go by the organization. Jurd started the season as a starter for the team but was benched to make room for Trei \u2018Zer0\u2019 Morris, who was acquired midseason from the New York Subliners. However, at the time of publication, it would appear that Crowley is the only player at the moment who\u2019s actually leaving the team. That will change, of course, because Royal Ravens will have to decide who from their starting five they\u2019ll be demoting ahead of the switch to 4v4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
