Hey my friends, I have just launched my YouTube channel. It would mean a ton of you subscribed! My first video is scheduled to upload in 10 minutes. youtube.com/@BrianStats1

Hold up 👀 This gives us an intriguing look into the current hunt for a new Call of Duty League commissioner. At the moment, that spot appears to still be vacant. Puckett would obviously be exceptional given his 15+ years experience in Call of Duty, 20+ years of esports experience. I would assume we’re going to have a new commish set in stone for MW4. Who would you guys be interested to see in this position?

Hell of a career for Kenny. - 10x Champion - 2x World Champ (2022, 2024) - 16 Finals Appearances - Won a tournament in 5 COD titles (WW2, BO4, VG, MWII, MWIII) - 1 of 14 players to win multiple world championships. - 1 of 5 players to appear in 4 Champs Grand Finals (Simp - 5, Kenny - 4, Shotzzy - 4, aBeZy - 4, JKap - 4) - Only player to win a ring with both OpTic and the Thieves. - Inaugural member of the 100 Thieves Hall of Fame. - Won his first championship at his 4th pro event (Dallas 2017), and won his final championship at his 51st pro event (Champs 2024).

We gotta make sure to keep SlasheR’s legacy alive. Still sitting comfortably as a top 10-15 player all-time. He is 1 of 3 players to win a major championship 8 years apart from each other (AW Columbus -> MWII Major 2), joining Scump and Crimsix. His first finals appearance occurred during Ghosts in 2014, and 12 years later he kicked off the Black Ops 6 season with a 6-0 record. He is also 1 of 6 players to appear at 9 or more COD Champs events. He is amongst the all-time greats in terms of longevity and success across eras.

In the niche career path of being an esports league GM/commissioner, Daniel Tsay has more experience than nearly any other human being on the planet with almost 9 years of service between NBA 2K and Call of Duty. Call of Duty esports has continuously evolved over the last 20 years. Whether you agree with this change or not, the CDL bringing in new faces to institute fresh ideas is something worth being optimistic about. Daniel oversaw quite a bit of COD history, from ATL FaZe’s historically dominant CW season, to the retirements of Scump, Crimsix, Clayster, FormaL and many more, to OpTic’s back-to-back-to-back Champs finals appearances and everything in between. I hope he lands a major role and continues contributing to this industry we all love.

Clayster’s tenure on the Falcons has been a rollercoaster the last two seasons, but it was very much trending in the right direction with a 3rd place finish at Champs followed up by a 4th at EWC. Clayster oversaw the biggest single season turnaround for a franchise in league history, seeing the Riyadh Falcons improve from a 4-30 record in 2025 to a 30-24 record in 2026. Now that coaches are allowed on stage via new CDL rules, it would be a shame to not have Clayster on our screens for the 2027 season.

I was thinking about how Dashy & aBeZy faced off in the Grand Finals of BO4 Vegas in December, 2018. As well as the Grand Finals of BO7 Major 4 in June, 2026. I wanted to find out which players in COD history faced off in finals matches the farthest distance apart from each other ⬇️ 1. Dashy vs aBeZy: 7 years, 6 months, 19 days (BO4 Vegas -> BO7 M4) 2. Scump vs Crimsix: 7 years, 1 month, 10 days (BO2 Chicago -> MW19 London) 3. Crimsix vs Octane: 6 years, 8 months, 3 days (BO3 Totinos -> VG M4) 4. Scump vs Clayster: 6 years, 3 months, 21 days (BO2 Full Sail -> MW19 London) 5. Shotzzy vs Simp: 6 years, 2 months, 24 days (MW19 Chicago -> BO7 Champs) 5. Huke vs Simp: 6 years, 2 months, 24 days (MW19 Chicago -> BO7 Champs) 7. Dashy vs Simp: 6 years, 2 months, 10 days (MW19 Florida -> BO7 Champs) 8. Shotzzy vs aBeZy: 6 years, 2 months, 3 days (MW19 Chicago -> BO7 M4) 8. Huke vs aBeZy: 6 years, 2 months, 3 days (MW19 Chicago -> BO7 M4) 10. Scump vs John: 6 years, 0 months, 13 days (BO1 Anaheim -> IW Champs) 11. Shotzzy vs Envoy: 5 years, 11 months, 18 days (MW19 London -> BO7 M1) 11. Huke vs Envoy: 5 years, 11 months, 18 days (MW19 London -> BO7 M1) 13. FormaL vs ZooMaa: 5 years, 10 months, 18 days (Ghosts Dallas -> MW19 NY) 14. Simp vs Envoy: 5 years, 9 months, 15 days (BO4 Playoffs -> BO6 M4) 14. aBeZy vs Envoy: 5 years, 9 months, 15 days (BO4 Playoffs -> BO6 M4) 16. Karma vs Clayster: 5 years, 8 months, 22 days (BO2 Dallas -> BO4 Vegas) 17. Karma vs JKap: 5 years, 8 months, 2 days (BO2 Champs -> BO4 Vegas) 18. Scump vs Attach: 5 years, 4 months, 20 days (AW S1 Playoffs -> MW19 NY) 18. FormaL vs Attach: 5 years, 4 months, 20 days (AW S1 Playoffs -> MW19 NY) 20. Scump vs ZooMaa: 5 years, 1 month, 26 days (AW Cali -> MW19 NY)

Incredibly excited to watch Snoopy on the Heretics. After winning the 2nd most matches in Breach franchise history, he now begins a new chapter on his 2nd pro team. Snoopy’s career best placement was a T3 at Champs 2025. He will be competing alongside SupeR, Mettalz and ReeaL who have placed T4 or better in 5 of their 7 events as a trio.

Mercules won his first championship at his 3rd career event (Champs 2025) Scrap won his first championship at his 3rd career event (Major 3 2023) Simp won his first championship at his 3rd career event (CWL Playoffs 2019) MW4 Major 1 will be Alluka’s 3rd career event, and he’ll have an excellent chance to join the group above as he teams alongside the last 3 Season MVPs (Scrap, Simp, HyDra).

I apologize for my previous post, I just deleted it. Whenever a player or talent retires/steps away, I try to think of a couple stats to highlight the significance of their contributions to the scene. In this case, that was not a smart decision due to the sensitive nature of the situation. Probably should not have opened Twitter today. Sorry again

This team is absolutely loaded. And with a Pro-AM Kickoff Minor being introduced, top Challengers teams will get an instant opportunity to prove themselves at the highest level. Also, adding a 2nd Pro-AM Major to the calendar is an incredible step in the right direction. More opportunities. More matches. More competition.

The last tournament CleanX and Insight weren’t teammates was back at Major 1 in Cold War. Here are some other notable fun facts about Major 1 2021: - Only 10 players competed at this event who also competed at EWC 2026 (Simp, aBeZy, Cellium, Shotzzy, Huke, Dashy, Envoy, TJHaLy, Cammy, CleanX). - Dashy was back under Hecz ownership, reuniting with Scump for the first time since Champs 2019. - This was the first time we had a Champs Finals rematch kick off the new season (Empire vs FaZe). - Final career pro tournament for inaugural World Champion Parasite. - ZooMaa announced his retirement 6 weeks prior. - HyDra would make his pro debut 6 weeks later.

Breaking down how the Royal Ravens have performed ever since being acquired in July 2022 by Infinite Reality (now known as Napster Corp): - Overall record: 59-102 - Average tournament placement: 10.36 - Placed T8 or worse in 20/22 events - Events hosted: 0 - Pulled out of hosting Major 4 2024 two months before the event, leading to our first fanless event since the Pandemic. - Had only 2 players contractually rostered going into EWC 2025, causing them to be denied entry for the event. - Tweeted 42 times during the entire 2026 season, for comparison FaZe Vegas tweeted 108 times in the month of May alone.
