Sources: Envoy, Ghosty, Neptune, and Sib Headline Gentle Mates’ New Era

Gentle Mates appear to have crossed the finish line in their pursuit of both Daunte "Sib" Gray and Daniel "Ghosty" Rothe, finalizing a roster they believe can compete at the very top of the CDL.

After a turbulent debut season, the French organization is turning the page with a new head of Call of Duty operations and a new head coach at the helm. The offseason has been nothing short of dramatic, filled with bold moves, near-misses, and high-profile negotiations, sending a clear message to fans that Gentle Mates are serious about building a winning culture.

Their headline signing is former world champion Dylan “Envoy” Hannon, who joins after his release from the LA Thieves. Alongside him, the team is expected to complete a buyout for Ghosty, another former Thieves player. The pair lifted two trophies together last season and will now look to recreate that success in Paris.

Travis "Neptune" McCloud, fresh off a standout campaign with the Vancouver Surge that saw him reach four Grand Finals, will slot in as Envoy’s SMG partner. Meanwhile, the team has landed one of the offseason’s most coveted slayers, Sib, to round out the starting four, a move that reportedly required fending off multiple rival offers.

Sources indicate all preliminary contracts are signed, meaning any last-minute poaching attempts from other teams would come at a steep cost. The final contracts are being ironed out before League approval. For Gentle Mates, the roster is set, the ambition is clear, and the countdown to Black Ops 7 has officially begun.
