Call Of Duty League: Clayster on Being Three-Time Champion Despite Adversities
Follow Us
The Call Of Duty League just finished its inaugural year a couple of days ago. It started on a high back in 2019, but as the year progressed, the pandemic stood in the way of its success. The whole League had to be transferred online, which was the biggest drawback it could face in its starting year. Furthermore, players couldn’t cope with the sudden changes. The pressure to keep winning every Home series was immense, and therefore, a few teams faltered.
Dallas Empire finally reigned as the World Champions of the 2020 League on August 30. James ‘Clayster’ Eubanks marked his third World Championship win with this victory. He joined Crimsix and Karma in the three-ring club of COD royalty.

The adversities were there, but Clayster claims his sheer determination to be the best helped overpower them,
“The one word we would use for this year is ‘adversity’. We have been thrown so much stuff our way, so many failures. We have been scr***d all year. For us to persevere through and win this ring is huge. We deserved to win this ring more than anybody else. I am so proud of the kids and everybody’s efforts.”
