ZooMaa names his top 3 CDL teams for 2021 Cold War season YouTube \/ HECZWhile discussing the upcoming 2021 Call of Duty League campaign with Hector \u2018H3CZ\u2019 Rodriguez on his Eavesdrop Podcast, New York Subliners veteran Thomas \u2018ZooMaa\u2019 Paparatto revealed his top three teams to watch out for during the Black Ops Cold War season. The CDL offseason was full of big moves, like the LA Thieves replacing OpTic Los Angeles and the transition of the Chicago Hunstmen to OpTic Chicago. With many players switching to new teams, fans and competitors were left wondering how the league\u2019s rankings will look as the season kicks off. While the official CDL schedule hasn\u2019t been announced, league play is anticipated to start in early 2021. Prior to the start of the season, pro player ZooMaa sat down with OpTic owner H3CZ and revealed the three teams he thinks fans and players should watch out for coming into 2021. After discussing topics like Gentlemen\u2019s Agreements and the map design in Black Ops Cold War, H3CZ shifted the conversation towards the CDL season: \u201cWho\u2019s your main competition, you think, right now? Give me your top three teams.\u201d The pro pondered the question for a second, then responded with Atlanta FaZe, Dallas Empire, and Chicago OpTic. ZooMaa\u2019s rankings are similar to many others leading up to the 2021 season, and for good reason: Dallas, Atlanta, and Chicago finished first, second, and third in the 2020 CDL playoffs, respectively. While Empire didn\u2019t make any major offseason moves aside from dropping Clayster to fit the new 4v4 format, both FaZe and OpTic made some roster shuffles. FaZe replaced MajorManiak and Priestahh with former Huntsmen player Arcitys, whose departure from Chicago left a void that was filled with Dashy to bolster their roster. (For mobile users, segment starts at 1:03:50) H3Cz took a deeper dive into the reasons behind ZooMaa\u2019s rankings, asking the longtime vet whether or not the offseason moves had anything to do with the teams\u2019 projected success in 2021. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of good players, but you gotta find the right group\u201d ZooMaa answered. \u201cSo I think you guys [OpTic] found the right group. And I think FaZe and Dallas have the right group.\u201d Offseason moves or otherwise, the former FaZe star thinks those teams have the right players to win them a championship in 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
