Call of Duty veteran Clayster will be trying his luck in free agency after parting ways with the Carolina Royal Ravens on July 7 following a disappointing stint in the Call of Duty League.
FaZe Rostermania Theories, Clayster REACTS to the Retirement Competition 😱
The Royal Ravens announced the 32-year-old's departure earlier this week on X (formerly Twitter). "An icon of the scene and a driving force behind our season, we want to thank Clay for his time," the organization wrote in its message. Following that message, Clayster held no words in his own exit statement yesterday about his departure. "I have a lot to say, but it's pointless. I have to be more selfish and play better if I want to keep my place in the teams," he said. He later added that he would also be open to non-playing roles.
His official departure had been announced a few days earlier. In Clayster's post-event tweet after Major Four, he said on X/Twitter that he planned to take some time off from competition instead of "spending so much time and energy on something that isn't yielding results," but said he still loves the game and plays professionally.
This CDL move comes just a week after Carolina's near-instant elimination from the Major Four in Burbank, California. Clayster and the Ravens struggled in the Major Four qualifiers, with the team's slow start resulting in a lower bracket start for the main event. They would go no further; Toronto Ultra swept Clayster and the Ravens in a 3-0 first-round stumping, ending their seasons promptly.
