ZooMaa slams CDL teams over biggest issues in heated rant Call of Duty LeagueThomas \u2018ZooMaa\u2019 Paparatto has long been one of the most outspoken members of the Call of Duty community, and in an impassioned monologue on The Flank, he has called out several CDL teams over issues with culture and egos. The Flank is ZooMaa\u2019s regular podcast show that he hosts, regularly talking on the biggest topics in the community and having top pros on to discuss what is happening within the CDL. During the May 19 episode, though, ZooMaa took a tangent and decided to speak on what he believes to be one of the biggest issues facing CDL teams today. It\u2019s not the common \u2018friendship league\u2019 trope that much of the community speaks about or even in-game issues, but it boils down to one thing: culture. Egos on failing CDL teams ZooMaa explains that the culture on teams and the egos of players are failing to work together properly, causing an adverse effect on the teams and the players themselves.

The only way we\u2019re going out on that pitch and winning matches and championships is doing that s**t together. \u201cWe used to get in our huddle as a family, and we would do anything for each other, and those were the best teams I was on. That\u2019s why I liked teaming with Chris [Crowder], that\u2019s why I liked teaming with Dillon [Attach], Preston [Priestahh], and Cellium.\u201d His final note is that this is what makes the top teams so good: the culture. The teams that work together, respect each other, and figure things out are the ones that will see the most success, and it\u2019s hard to disagree with ZooMaa on that front.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
