The Carolina Royal Ravens eye Felix "FDot" Mckeeto to complete the starting roster for the Esports World Cup.

This week has been quite eventful for the franchise, especially after finishing last at COD Champs and dealing with contract issues. As a result, the Royal Ravens have lost superstar player Isaiah "Gwinn" Gwinn to reportedly Cloud9 New York. Fellow SMG player Thomas "TJHaLy" Haly is likely to leave in free agency as well, reportedly signing with the Vegas Falcons. Additionally, the franchise has opted to part ways with rookie Dillon "Wrecks" Slotter after a woeful stint in the Pro League.

Under current rules, teams are allowed to make only one roster change ahead of the Esports World Cup—unless their players are free agents before the tournament and need to be replaced. This technicality has given Carolina the flexibility to fully rebuild their lineup during the ongoing rostermania period.

FDot has had a breakout season this year with Team Notorious in the European Challengers Circuit. Playing alongside players Marcus "Afro" Reid, Eric "EriKBooM" Ferrer, and Rafi "Rafi" Kazi, the team captured the Miami Open LAN title and won multiple Elite tournaments throughout the year. It’s also been reported that Afro is being considered for Carolina’s EWC roster alongside FDot. After years of grinding in the Tier 2 scene, FDot is finally getting his shot to showcase his talent on one of the biggest stages in Call of Duty tournaments in the World.

In response to their recent roster upheaval, the Ravens are moving quickly to sign three of the top European players available. If finalized, the Carolina Royal Ravens' roster for the Esports World Cup would consist of:

○ Felix "FDot" Mckeeto
○ Marcus "Afro" Reid
○ Enzo "Cobra" Mekentichi
○ Austin "SlasheR" Liddicoat
