Further to that, Minnesota released Ttinyy as well from their 2021 roster. Ttinyy played as a sub for the Rokkr’s this 2020 season.

Minnesota became the 4th team to make major roster changes. Seattle Surge and Toronto Ultra both released six players each from their rosters. Moreover, these teams are making the changes keeping in mind the online shift of the tournaments.

Call Of Duty League 2020 was shifted online because of the pandemic. The LAN players faced a hard time coping up with the new environment of online tournaments. This led to a few players underperforming than usual. GODRX was one of the accidental victims of this cause.

On the other hand, a big chunk of teams is yet to announce which players they are going to drop going into the 2021 event. Call Of Duty League has also changed the minimum roster size from seven to five. While this will save owners a lot of money, the future of many players lies uncertain nonetheless.
