Cloud9 New York Targets Dominant AR Duo for Call of Duty League 2025
Cloud9’s Ambitious Roster Plans for Black Ops 6
Cloud9 New York is setting its sights on an impressive roster for the upcoming Call of Duty League (CDL) season. According to sources, the team aims to build around a top-tier assault rifle (AR) duo for Black Ops 6. This move comes after an offseason filled with speculation, including talks of French star Paco ‘HyDra’ Rusiewiez possibly joining LA Thieves.
Key Player Retention and Potential Additions
Cloud9 plans to retain Daunte ‘Sib’ Gray, who was the second-best player on the team last season. Contrary to community expectations, Sib will not be transferred. Instead, he will be joined by Dillon ‘Attach’ Price as his AR partner. Attach, who had the fifth highest kill-death (KD) ratio in the CDL last season, is expected to bring significant strength to the team, particularly in Search & Destroy mode, where he posted a 1.16 KD.
SMG Teammates and Remaining Roster Spots
The team is also looking to add Dylan ‘Nero’ Koch and Kyle ‘Kremp’ Howarth as their submachine gun (SMG) players. Nero, who played alongside Attach on Vegas Legion in 2024, is one of the best available free agents. Kremp, who showed remarkable performance last season by finishing fourth at the CDL Championship and second at the Esports World Cup, is another strong contender.
Uncertainties and Backup Plans
At the moment, the team’s final lineup isn’t set in stone. Cloud9 still needs to find new homes for Matthew ‘KiSMET’ Tinsley and Cesar ‘Skyz’ Bueno. If these plans fall through, there’s a possibility they could remain with the New York franchise.
Conclusion
Cloud9 New York’s strategy for the 2025 CDL season centers on forming a powerful roster capable of dominating in Black Ops 6. With key players like Sib and Attach leading the way, and potential additions like Nero and Kremp, the team aims to make a strong impact in the upcoming season. However, uncertainties remain, and the final roster will depend on several moving parts falling into place.
