As far as rumors go, there is speculation that he will be joined by two former FaZe teammates in what could be a very formidable potential roster. Rumored NYC Call of Duty roster: Thomas \u2018ZooMaa\u2019 Paparatto – Dillon \u2018Attach\u2019 Price (ex-FaZe\/EG) – Trei \u2018Zer0\u2019 Morris (ex-FaZe) – Donovan \u2018Temp\u2019 Laroda (ex-Splyce) – Lamar \u2018Accuracy\u2019 Abedi (ex-EG) – The organization has already announced John \u2018Revan\u2019 Bobble, formerly of Evil Geniuses, as their head coach, with JohnPaul \u2018JP Krez\u2019 Krez as analyst. ZooMaa joining NYC CoD officially puts an end to his long tenure with FaZe Clan, whom he represented for over five years and five different Call of Duty titles. FaZe, of course, have chosen not to purchase a spot in the new league, at least for its inaugural season, so the \u201cItalian Stallion\u201d had no choice but to explore other options.

While he may be remembered for a lot of things during his time wearing the red and black, his consistency is one that most will recall, as he ended up being their longest tenured player by far.
