Vegas Falcons part ways with Priestahh

The Vegas Falcons are making moves ahead of the Esports World Cup, announcing the departure of veteran player Preston “Priestahh” Greiner from their starting lineup. The decision comes after a mixed 2025 Call of Duty League season that saw Vegas show flashes but ultimately fall well below the expected success. Now, with the team looking to reset before the Esports World Cup, all signs point to former Carolina Royal Ravens SMG Thomas “TJHaLy” Haly as the likely replacement.

Priestahh, a respected veteran with multiple championship appearances under his belt, brought experience and composure to the Falcons' roster. However, despite his leadership and flexibility, the team struggled to find consistent results across the year, leading to internal discussions about shaking up the lineup heading into one of the biggest events of the season. Priestahh’s departure marks the end of a short-lived stint with Vegas, and he now enters free agency with a wealth of experience but diminished individual stock after a rough season.

According to multiple sources, Vegas is eyeing TJHaLy as the ideal replacement. Fresh off an up-and-down season with the Carolina Royal Ravens, who recently announced his departure as part of a broader roster overhaul. Known for his great SND play, flexibility to play both the AR & SMG roles, and years of CDL experience, TJ could bring the needed SND firepower Vegas has been missing. If the move is finalized, it would reunite TJ with an intriguing roster featuring Amer "Pred" Zulbeari that could make serious noise at the Esports World Cup.

Nothing has been officially confirmed by the Falcons as of yet, but the roster shuffle indicates the organization is serious about turning the page. With the Esports World Cup just around the corner, all eyes are on Vegas to see if this rumored signing can help spark a deep run—and finally deliver on the team’s long-building potential.
