After a disappointing Stage 1 performance, it appears that we are about to witness a first in the Call of Duty League, as franchise Cloud9 New York is expected to release all four of its current players and pursue a new direction.

Sources indicate that Cloud9 has identified Saud "qk4b" Alotaibi as its top target. The young Saudi prospect has impressed all season with Falcons Academy, showcasing strong performances both online and on LAN. He is widely regarded as one of the best talents to emerge from the region in recent years.

The Falcons are reportedly open to loaning qk4b out so he can gain experience in top-tier professional play. Within the Falcons camp, he is described as a “baby DanGhosty,” a player with the qualities of a great teammate and the potential of a high-level slayer.

Initially, it was believed that this move would only involve Reece "Vivid" Drost, but recent developments suggest that all four Cloud9 players are expected to be released. Names of potential replacements are still under speculation, making this a rapidly evolving situation.
