Indeed, CoD rostermania has been insane. Accordingly, after keeping track of all the changes, we’re ready to discuss. Indeed, in this featured article, we’ll be discussing CDL Rostermania 2022, specifically by ranking the changes in order of our expectations for the teams.
CDL Rostermania 2022 – Ranking the New Rosters
#1 – OpTic Texas
Starting us off, we have the biggest move of the off-season. Accordingly, OpTic Chicago saw the merging of Dallas Empire and OpTic Chicago. Accordingly, the rosters were merged to form a new and exciting roster set to win championships this year:
- Brandon “Dashy” Otell
- Indervir “iLLeY” Dhaliwal
- Seth “Scump” Abner
- Anthony “Shotzzy” Cuevas-Castro
#2 – New York Subliners
Indeed, following the merging of the two rosters, the likes of Ian “Crimsix” Porter was free to sign with a roster. Accordingly, the veteran signed with NYSL to form a very strong roster combining veteran leadership and insane young talent:
- Paco “HyDra” Rusiewiez
- James “Clayster” Eubanks
- Travis “Neptune” McCloud
- Ian “Crimsix” Porter
#3 – Los Angeles Thieves
Following a completely unsuccesful season from Los Angeles Thieves, change was needed. Acccordingly, they decided to form an insane squad of their own, fielding talent from Seattle Surge and former OpTic Chicago:
- Kenny “Kenny” Williams
- Zack “Drazah” Jordan
- Sam “Octane” Larew
- Dylan “Envoy” Hannon
#4 – Los Angeles Guerrillas
Meeting us in the middle, it’s LAG. Following two seriously poor seasons, the roster is finally looking strong thanks to some huge changes and investments. This is likely the season where we witness the best performance from this roster which struggled in the past:
- Obaid “Asim” Asim
- Peirce “Gunless” Hillman
- Cuyler “Huke” Garland
- Austin “SlasheR” Liddicoat
- Kris “Spart” Cervantez (Substitute)
#5 – London Royal Ravens
Meanwhile, London Royal Ravens always loked great last year, but failed to deliver. Following obstacle after obstacle, too many changes made solid progress very difficult. In order to counter this, a new roster led by veteran Trei “Zer0″ Morris looks to make some noise:
- Marcus “Afro” Reid
- Joey “Gismo” Owen
- Byron “Nastie” Plumridge
- Trei “Zer0″ Morris
#6 – Seattle Surge
On the other side, Seattle Surge is also following a similar approach. Accordingly, they’ve revamped their roster to now include a proven veteran supported by several hungry younger players:
- Lamar “Accuracy” Abedi
- Makenzie “Mack” Kelley
- Amer “Pred” Zulbeari
- Daunte “Sib” Gray
#7 – Florida Mutineers
Nearing the bottom of the list, Florida Mutineers confused the community with an unorthodox change. Accordingly, they’ve kept components of their roster, while adding new and to an extent, unproven talent:
- Cesar “Skyz” Bueno
- Joseph “Owakening” Conley
- David “Davpadie” Maslowski
- Reece “Vivid” Drost
- Christian “Yeez” Faircloth – Substitute
#8 – Paris Legion
Rounding off our list, it’s Paris Legion. Although they’ve decided to refresh their roster, we’re not entirely convinced. Accordingly, the organization has signed some older veterans and other players who haven’t been successful in a while.
Yet, let’s hope they can turn things around:
- Jacob “Decemate” Cato
- Tyler “FeLo” Johnson
- Johnathan “John” Perez
- Donovan “Temp” Laroda
CDL Rostermania 2022 – Unchanged Active Rosters
Besides these 8 rosters, three others stood unchanged. Naturally, these were some of the best rosters from last year:
- Atlanta FaZe
- Minnesota Rokkr
- Toronto Ultra
Specifically, the only changes were such as Atlanta FaZe signing a substitute such as Preston “Prestinni” Sanderson.
Beyond all of these rosters, there still remains an unannounced team in the Boston organization. Likely, with the season kicking off in a few weeks, we’ll know more about this.
We simply can’t wait for the season to kick off!
