by North American esports outfit Los Angeles Guerrillas announced the departure of their Call of Duty player Cuyler “Huke” Garland.
This is the first official roster change for the Call of Duty team. The North American outfit also revealed that Huke’s exit was based on a mutual agreement. Hence, the player ended things with the team on a good note, and they wish him well in his future endeavors.
“We’ve mutually agreed to part ways with @Huke. Throughout the last two seasons, Cuyler’s impact was always felt on and off the sticks. We’re forever grateful for his contributions to our organization and the history he created with us,” the team tweeted.
“Thank you, Huke. We wish you all the best.”
While the Los Angeles Guerrillas took out their time to acknowledge Huke’s impact on the team and revealed to the public that they had a good run with him, Huke took to his Twitter page to notify the general public that he is now an official free agent looking for a reputable Call of Duty team to take a chance with him.
“Free Agent for the rest of the season. Game ready,” he tweeted.
Huke is a 23-year-old who has had the opportunity to represent some of the best Call of Duty teams in the region. In 2015, he launched his career with FaZe Clan, and after spending a very short time with the team, he got signed by Team Envy in 2017. Subsequently, the American player has represented other teams like Splyce, Dallas Empire, and Los Angeles Thieves. And with his run with team Los Angeles Guerrillas, Huke and his other teammates garnered a first-place finish at the Call of Duty League 2022: Stage 2 Major, earning themselves $200,000 in prize money.
Huke is also a national of the United States of America, the Netherlands, and Saudi Arabia, which makes it easy for him to blend in with new teammates owing to his multiracial identity. At the time of this writing, no reports have been made concerning the new team Huke will be joining. It is unknown what step the player will be taking next.
Last year, the North American team already had their fair share of a disappointing start to the 2023 Call of Duty season, ultimately resulting in a 9th–12th-place finish at Major 1 in Raleigh, North Carolina. This loss has hit the team really hard, as in August the team made a huge investment by signing Alec “Arcitys” Sanderson to their team.
In the group stage of the Major, the Los Angeles Guerillas academy roster was eliminated along with the main roster, which has led the team to embark on a roster overhaul leading to the promotion of three academy players to the main roster. These players are Adam “Assault” Garcia, Kaden “Exceed” Stockdale, and Joe “JoeDeceives.”
Other than Arcitys, it is speculated that the remaining players of the main roster are Kris “Spart” Cervantez and Travis “Neptune” McCloud, who will either part ways with the team like Huke or be moved to the academy roster, which is not a move that often happens.
