ZooMaa pulls Stallions from Call of Duty Challengers after cheating accusations MLG\/ActivisionThomas \u2018ZooMaa\u2019 Paparatto is stepping away from Call of Duty Challengers by pulling support for his Stallions team in light of recent cheating accusations. As someone who holds the scene in high regard, ZooMaa was taken aback when evidence started to circulate of people among his own ranks floating tournament rules during competition. Once news broke of the alleged cheating, the former CoD pro outright condemned the actions his team was accused of and said he would pull the Stallions from the amateur circuit for the time being. \u201cI would love to have a Challengers team but as of right now I think I\u2019m going to reevaluate things and pull it back,\u201d he said on an April 27 stream. \u201cI\u2019m not going to be funding these guys moving forward as of right now, including my cousin [Vincent \u2018VinnY\u2019 Gage].\u201d \u201cThis is a lesson they need to understand. They broke a rule, they have to know the rules. It\u2019s a lesson they need to learn.\u201d ZooMaa has stated that he will be stepping away from Challengers with the Stallions brand and will no longer be funding the team. #CDL2022 pic.twitter.com\/MSjPm79sVO \u2014 Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) April 27, 2022 ZooMaa himself has been leading the charge against cheating amateurs, including pulling the #2 ranked player onto his Twitch show, The Flank, after they exposed their hacks during a Vanguard stream. It wasn\u2019t long after his own brand, players, and family were found skirting CDL Challenger rules after a clip showed coach VinnY communicating with his team during a match. \u201cStallions coaches have been actively cheating in Challengers calling out for the team on rotating and taking routes via \u2018live feed of discord,\u2019\u201d Abas said. \u201cListen at like 19 seconds, Vinny tells Pat to rotate. This got them into Elite S2 and 30k [pro points].\u201d For several years now, communication between players and their coaches has been banned during any kind of competitive match, only allowed between maps or before and after matches.
