With MajorLeagueGaming’s (MLG) first event in Dallas, Texas just around the corner and the Online Qualifiers for a guaranteed top sixteen placing at the event growing even closer. Many top competitive teams and players have decided to make official roster changes, leave their team, or fold under the pressure of qualifying for CODXP Championships and the chance at winning $400,000 later this year.
Teams such as UNiTE.NA and NY Thrust have essentially traded players during the week. After Bobby “Bobby” Hamwi left UNiTE.NA, NY Thrust decided to release “Clayster”. Eventually leading to each competitive player switching spots on each team.
Left unite to join up with thrust! #Letsgetit #Grindtime
