In Call of Duty eSports, contracts, trades, and signing work similar to professional sports,, but different at the same time. Instead of a trade deadline and restrictions in place, teams and players can do anything after a tournament. So this creates what we call “Roster Mania,” where in the weeks after big tournaments, many roster changes are made, and some in the past couple years have proved to be game changing. Here, we are going to highlight some of the roster changes made after Call of Duty XP.
Splyce, who placed an incredible 2nd place at CODXP, made a surprising, but helpful roster change. They dropped Joee and Rated, who are two great onjective players who can clean up the slack, to pick up Joshh, who has been pretty dominant in the AR department lately, and Jurd, who has been hands down the best EU player over the past couple years. This could help them further elevate themselves as being one of the only European teams ever that can compete just as well as the American teams. An announcement on their fourth is soon to come.
Epsilon released a statement after the tournament saying that their players could go as they please. After a poor placinng at CODXP, that might have been a good choice.
Renegades, a team that barely qualified for CODXP, dropped KiLLa and picked up Ivy in an attempt to make it into the pro league for Infinite Warfare.
These are just some of the roster changes that are likely yet to come as the Infinite Warfare season starts. Stay tuned for more information and any COD eSports news.
