- The team bids farewell to almost its entire CDL roster
- This comes after Legion’s terrible performance this season
- Paris Legion gave no information on plans for its future CDL team composition
The Paris Legion has released four of its Call of Duty League professionals all at once.
Paris Legion Parts Ways with Four Players
Esports organizations often have very malleable team compositions, with players coming and going due to transfers, contracts finishing, and being released. An organization will rarely part ways with more than one player at a time. However, in some cases, it happens and Paris Legion’s recent release of four of its Call of Duty League players proves that point.
On August 18, the organization announced that four of its players are leaving – Canadian Bryan “Jimbo” Sabman, and Americans Thomas “GRVTY” Malin, Johnathan “John” Perez, and Giancarlos “oJohnny” Carrasco. The four comprised a diverse team of talent and ages, with the oldest, john, being 26, and the youngest, oJohnny, just 18.
How Did the Organization Come to This Decision?
We should not be surprised by this outcome as many speculated it would come to this, considering Paris Legion’s abysmal results this season. With a 2-23 record, the team finished at last place with a paltry 20 CDL points. For comparison, The New York Subliners were the final team to make the playoffs cutoff with 160 points.
The four players had already received their free agents statuses days ago, with GRVTY being the first one on August 14, followed by his now-former teammates the day after. Paris Legion’s latest announcement makes it official.
Temp, the last remaining player on Legion’s roster, and arguably their most valuable asset, is currently staying with the organization. There has been no information on what Paris Legion plans to do with him. The team will likely be fielding almost an entirely new roster when the CDL kicks off for the 2023 season in Modern Warfare 2.
Paris Legion finished the Major One, Three, and Four qualifiers with the same score of 0-5. The Major Two qualifier was just marginally better with a 1-4 score. The team’s only Major victory came when they defeated Seattle Surge in the first round of Major One, but in the end, it didn’t matter.
With the last season finishing recently, masses of CDL players have announced their free agent statuses. We will most likely see Jimbo, GRVTY, John, and oJohnny join their ranks soon.
