Carolina releases rookie Craze

Carolina Royal Ravens are making a change ahead of Stage IV, moving on from rookie Jay "Craze" Mallhi after a challenging first season in the Call of Duty League.

Brought in as a fresh face to help elevate the roster, Craze delivered steady-but-unspectacular numbers, finishing his stint with a 0.94 overall K/D, 89.3 Slayer Rating, and 11,299 damage rating, hovering between a 0.93 and 0.95 K/D across all three modes. On LAN, where Carolina needed an extra spark, his production dipped to a 0.85 K/D and 82.6 Slayer Rating, highlighting some of the growing pains that often come with a rookie campaign.

Team results never quite matched the organization’s ambitions. The Royal Ravens placed Top 12 at Major I, Top 10 at Major II, Top 12 at Minor I, and Top 12 again at Major III, consistently falling well short of expectations. With Stage IV representing the final stretch to salvage the season and making the miracle run to qualify at Champs, Carolina has decided a roster shake-up is necessary.

As Carolina turns the page and searches for a new piece to unlock higher upside, Craze now enters the market as a young player with CDL experience under his belt and room to grow, likely drawing interest from both Challengers teams and organizations planning for future seasons.
