SlasheR threatens retirement if CDL stays online next season Activision[jwplayer pqm2EgOF]OpTic Gaming Los Angeles star Austin \u2018SlasheR\u2019 Liddicoat has threatened to retire from Call of Duty if the CoD League stays online into the 2021 season. While SlasheR and his OpTic teammates are among some of the most successful or individually talented players CoD esports has ever seen, this season has been a tough one for them, and the switch from LAN to online play doesn\u2019t seem to have helped. It appears now that SlasheR has had enough, and shortly after the team\u2019s loss to Florida Mutineers at CDL London on in the early hours of July 9, he vented his frustrations with the current climate of the CDL. \u201cBarring a miracle the league will more than likely be online next year,\u201d he said. \u201cI have a lot to think about [and] more than likely will take time off.\u201d He then added that he \u201cwon\u2019t put himself through this anymore,\u201d blaming the league\u2019s central south servers not working properly. Baring a miracle the league will more than likely be online next year I have a lot to think about more than likely will take time off. I will not put myself thru this anymore. we suffer because their central south servers cant work properly \u2014 SlasheR (@SlasheR_AL) July 19, 2020 While some may have thought SlasheR\u2019s threat was merely a heat of the moment statement, he booted up his stream later on and reiterated his point. \u201cI will heavily consider retiring, probably not forever but until LAN comes back, if next year is online,\u201d he said. \u201cI can\u2019t put myself through this anymore. I can\u2019t continue to play 10 hours a day to not even have a fair chance to showcase my talent.\u201d He continued, saying: \u201cIt\u2019s one thing if you give it your all and you lose because you just weren\u2019t good enough, but it\u2019s another thing if you don\u2019t even get a chance to give it your all.\u201d If SlasheR were to retire, even temporarily, the esport would be losing arguably one of its greatest talents, but he might change his mind if his team sees some success at this year\u2019s Call of Duty Championships. Players and fans alike will be hoping that some normalcy returns to the world prior to the start of the next CDL season, and LAN events are once more able to go ahead. There has been no official word yet on how the CDL will proceed in 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
