Warzone star Aydan reveals why he couldn\u2019t go pro in CDL ANDBOX \/ Call of Duty LeagueCall of Duty: Warzone star Aydan has made millions from playing shooting titles like CoD and Fortnite, but there\u2019s a simple reason why he doesn\u2019t think he could ever play in the Call of Duty League. Aydan \u2018Aydan\u2019 Conrad\u2019s accolades are serious. Across five separate Call of Duty titles, Fortnite, and a couple other games, he\u2019s racked up over $500,000 in tournament earnings (according to EsportsEarnings). Of that cash, a whopping $335,640 is from Warzone \u2013 where he sits at No. 2 on the all-time earnings list, right behind former CoD pro Thomas \u2018Tommey\u2019 Trewren. While Aydan has won multiplayer events (e.g. a Black Ops Cold War $50K with Scump) and competes with former CDL pros in Warzone tournaments, he doesn\u2019t think he could crack the league. The simple reason why? He doesn\u2019t like practicing. Warzone star Aydan couldn\u2019t play pro CoD due to \u201cpractice\u201d In a new interview, Aydan explained that he would have kept grinding CoD \u201cin the Search and Destroy scene\u201d if he hadn\u2019t started playing Fortnite. There, he grew a brand and won events as a battle royale star before pivoting to Warzone. While he apparently has considered a switch to professional multiplayer play, the BR star doesn\u2019t think he\u2019s cut out for it: \u201cThe CDL is completely different. It requires a lot of practice. I don\u2019t think I ever liked practice even when I was playing sports growing up.\u201d Warzone and CoD multiplayer have very obvious common ground, but Aydan\u2019s point is a fair one. Even when the games are played on the exact same engine, during the Modern Warfare 2019 season, there are serious differences in preparation. Despite obvious commonalities in centering, movement, and gun skill \u2013 if Aydan doesn\u2019t like practicing then he won\u2019t enjoy grinding Hardpoint rotations or Search and Destroy strats. Who knows, though, maybe he\u2019ll get frustrated watching his New York Subliners lose matches and consider subbing in for them after a Loser\u2019s Round exit at the CDL Stage 1 Major.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
