The Surge have a 4-15 record in the CDL regular season and sit dead-last in the standings. They also just parted ways with Jacob \u2018Decemate\u2019 Cato just a couple of weeks after signing him, leaving one wide-open roster spot for an SMG ahead of Stage 4. With Reece \u2018Vivid\u2019 Drost picked up by the Dallas Empire, Seattle\u2019s options are running thinner, but ZooMaa has a solution: Censor. Echoing CoD Twitter\u2019s \u201cNo Doug, No Dub\u201d spam, ZooMaa \u2014 a former teammate of Censor\u2019s with the New York Subliners in 2020 \u2014 believes there\u2019s real potential for the pickup. Fending off co-host Ben Nissim\u2019s doubts, the Italian Stallion explained why Seattle should actually consider signing the former FaZe YouTuber to their starting lineup. (For mobile users, segment begins at 22:00.) When the topic of Seattle comes up, Nissim seemed to immediately know the ZooMaa hot take is coming, but it was too late and Tommy let his feelings be known: \u201cThe year is already f**king chalked for Seattle \u2026 If I was Seattle, I\u2019d pick up Doug.\u201d While Nissim pushed back against the bold idea, ZooMaa simply doubled down on the selfless value Censor can bring. \u201cHe\u2019s going to come in, Ben, and he\u2019s going to do everything,\u201d the \u2018Stallion\u2019 remarked. \u201cHe\u2019s going to throw trophies, he\u2019s gonna say \u2018I\u2019ve got the hill, don\u2019t worry. Go push out. I got this.\u2019 He\u2019s gonna hit every rotation, he\u2019s going to be stacking every hill.\u201d Over the past few years, Censor has remained a confident, optimistic personality in the CoD scene despite minimal professional success. He\u2019s failed to impress in CDL Challengers either, which factors into Nissim\u2019s doubts and probably plays a part in ZooMaa admitting that he was \u201csomewhat trolling.\u201d But still, even if Doug isn\u2019t the solution from a competitive standpoint, ZooMaa and Nissim agree that no available player is likely to solve Seattle\u2019s woes. If that\u2019s the case, and Tommy\u2019s sources indicate it is, then he believes Surge should make the move \u201cfor the culture.\u201d As ZooMaa elaborates, \u201cI have sources that are telling me that it\u2019s pretty much chalked up in that Seattle camp \u2026 if I\u2019m hearing that it\u2019s pretty much chalked up and everybody\u2019s losing f**king full over there and nobody gives a f**k, that\u2019s why I was like \u2018f**k it, bring in Doug!\u2019\u201d Seattle starts their Stage 4 against the Los Angeles Thieves on May 29. If ZooMaa and the internet have their way, the Surge will have a muscular new fourth starter by then \u2014 for the culture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ZooMaa explains how Seattle Surge signing Censor could actually make sense Twitter, @ZooMaa, @CensorDuring a recent episode his show, The Flank, former CoD pro Tommy \u2018ZooMaa\u2019 Paparatto had one name in mind for who Seattle Surge should sign to fill their 2021 CDL vacancy: the one and only Doug \u2018Censor\u2019 Martin.
