Toronto Ultra bench Methodz in surprise CDL roster move Call of Duty LeagueCall of Duty veteran Anthony \u2018Methodz\u2019 Zinni shocked CDL fans by announcing that he has been benched by his Toronto Ultra\u2019s lineup, following a disappointing 3-5 start to the 2021 season. Interestingly, it was not the Ultra who announced the surprise benching of the league\u2019s beloved Chef Tony \u2014 it was Zinni himself. Taking to Twitter, the nine-year veteran revealed the roster shakeup without detailing why the decision was made or who would be replacing him. This comes after a 3-5 start to the season by the Ultra, who have shown flashes of the form that helped the team win CDL 2020\u2019s Week 13 Toronto Ultra Homestand and place in the top 6 at CDL Champs. While obviously disappointed, Methodz himself told us that this 2021 team is \u201cmiles better\u201d than it was at this time in 2020. Obviously confused himself, Methodz mentioned that Black Ops Cold War has been his \u201cbest game since WW2 and obviously wasn\u2019t expecting this.\u201d He\u2019s played a major role in the team\u2019s three wins, so fans are baffled as well. Mere hours after the initial tweets, Methodz followed up to reveal his new plans. While on the Toronto bench, he\u2019s been given permission to compete in the Challengers scene. \u201cDespite what I think, this is the situation I\u2019m in and have decided to play Challengers,\u201d he said. Despite what I think, this is the situation I’m in and have decided to play Challengers w\/ Decemate, Drazah, and TMTwerk. I’m confident I’ll be back where I belong in due time & I appreciate all of your guys’ support more than you know. \u2014 OpTic Methodz (@Methodz) March 11, 2021 Methodz will be teaming with former LA Guerrillas player Jacob \u2018Decemate\u2019 Cato, LA Thieves substitute Zack \u2018Drazah\u2019 Jordan, and multiple time Challengers Cup champion Christopher \u2018TwerK\u2019 Nava. \u201cI\u2019m confident I\u2019ll be back where I belong in due time,\u201d he added. At the moment, Jamie \u2018Insight\u2019 Craven is the lone bench player on Toronto \u2014 suggesting that he would move into the starting lineup barring other moves. At 21 years old, he is reputable in the European scene (where he became known as \u2018Cash Out Craven\u2019), but has yet to make an impact anywhere near Zinni\u2019s in North America. If he does become the starter, Toronto will have an all-EU lineup. Toronto Ultra\u2019s projected Stage 2 starters Ben \u2018Bance\u2019 Bance – Cameron \u2018Cammy\u2019 McKilligan – Tobias \u2018CleanX\u2019 Juul Jonsson – Jamie \u2018Insight\u2019 Craven –<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
