What next for Huke after Dallas Empire? Possible trades & CDL landing spots ActivisionIn one of the most surprising roster moves of the CDL season, Dallas Empire dropped Cuyler \u2018Huke\u2019 Garland to the bench and replaced him with Tyler \u2018FeLo\u2019 Johnson. Huke has long been one of the most talented players in Call of Duty, and since joining Dallas Empire at the start of the 2020 season during Modern Warfare, he\u2019s lived up to that. They became world champions at the end of Modern Warfare and, during Stage 1 of the current Cold War season, he looked absolutely formidable. While his performances didn\u2019t completely drop off, Dallas throughout Stage 2 weren\u2019t as strong as they were, and they made the decision to bench Huke. Now the question becomes, what happens with him? Let\u2019s look at his options. To everyone sending hate to dallas and my teamates. Was a team decision, the org has done nothing but work with me. Got nothin but respect for everyone on the team. Just didnt work out and its time to move on to a new chapter. \u2014 Surge Huke (@Huke) April 27, 2021 Which teams could pick up Huke? Based on the above tweet, with Huke saying that \u201cit\u2019s time to move on to a new chapter,\u201d it seems as though his benching isn\u2019t exactly a temporary measure. So, with Huke potentially moving on from Dallas Empire, let\u2019s take a look at where he could end up for the remainder of the season. Seattle Surge: Since the start of the season, Surge\u2019s SMG duo of Preston \u2018Prestinni\u2019 Sanderson and Daniel \u2018Loony\u2019 Loza have raised question marks. Neither are the out-and-out slayers teams such as Atlanta FaZe, Toronto Ultra or, of course, Dallas possess. With things heating up for Seattle and Champs qualification getting less and less likely, they need to make a decision. – LA Guerrillas: Dropping Reece \u2018Vivid\u2019 Drost definitely seemed a weird decision at the start of Stage 3, as their best-performing player statistically. With the addition of Martin \u2018Cheen\u2019 Chino, who had a Team of the Week-level debut, they seem to have potential, but adding another high-level SMG to the mix could only be a positive. Apathy is a great player but arguably their weakest, and replacing him with Huke could keep this team\u2019s Champs dreams alive. – Paris Legion: While Donovan \u2018Temp\u2019 Laroda is still new to this Paris side, we imagine they\u2019ll be wishing the Huke situation had come a little earlier. Matthew \u2018Skrapz\u2019 Marshall has been comfortable playing the flex role in the past, and having Huke running the SMG alongside Nicholas \u2018Classic\u2019 DiCostanzo could only help this team find more consistency in the league. – There are two other teams who have had glaring SMG issues this season: Florida Mutineers and London Royal Ravens. Simply put, we don\u2019t see them bringing Huke in too soon. The Mutineers have just made changes, with Colt \u2018Havok\u2019 McLendon replacing Josiah \u2018Slacked\u2019 Berry, while London have frankly made more roster changes than they\u2019ve had hot dinners. With rumors circulating that Trei \u2018Zer0\u2019 Morris has been dropped by London, they may be looking to make room for another star player and Huke more than fills the role. Whether they would be willing to pay for him, or if he\u2019d even want to go there and likely miss out on Champs, are different questions entirely. It seems unlikely. Of course, Huke could end up back on the Dallas starting line-up before long if their results don\u2019t improve, but it\u2019s looking bleak. At this point, you could make several great teams from benched players, and Huke would be the main attraction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
