Here\u2019s why the veteran was all too frustrated before his latest matchup. As players got settled into the lobby for the second week of CDL action in 2021, something clearly ticked off NYSL. There was visible frustration from the players before they kicked off the opening map. Coming off a difficult 0-3 loss to the Los Angeles Thieves a week prior, the lineup was looking to rebound with a bang. Before they got their boots on the ground, however, a key moment from the previous week was broadcast for the world to see. The CDL stream revealed Clayster\u2019s heated comms after the disappointing loss. This private matter shouldn\u2019t have been aired at all, according to Clay, let alone moments before their next match. So, he took out his frustration the only way he could: flipping the bird on-stream. \u201cI had complained last time about showing my cam when I was super upset with my team,\u201d he explained. \u201cSo I was pretty upset with them airing my after-match comms.\u201d Despite the 0-3 scoreline, NYSL\u2019s series against the LA Thieves was one of the closest all week. The Hardpoint came within nine points, SnD went to a round 11, and Control went the distance as well. Understandably, Clayster was fairly heated after the extremely close series that very well could have been a 3-0 in their favor.

That was so stupid. We\u2019re up 5-3 in the Search and we can\u2019t close it out?\u201d This moment was captured on the broadcast last week but the comms were only just revealed today. Frustrated with the CDL running it without permission, Clayster stuck his middle finger up the next time his camera was on-stream.

I\u2019m going to be having a talk with the league. If they\u2019re going to make us sit here, I think it\u2019s a little unprofessional to use the comms in the video. Especially right before we play a match.\u201d The NYSL vs Royal Ravens series begins at the 1:31:50 mark below. While the video could have brought the team down, they didn\u2019t let it get to them. NYSL dominated the Royal Ravens to rebound with a lopsided 3-0 win in Week 2.
