The Seattle Surge's Downfall

Seattle Surge’s downfall happened before the Call of Duty League season even started, many players on the team are coming out saying many things about management and other players. Seattle Surge is currently tied for tenth place on the Call of Duty League leaderboard.

Below you will see all the evidence of the Seattle Surge’s downfall.

Player Issues

One of the bigger names on this roster Damon “Karma” Barlow said on Twitter, “I think everyone on our team was suppose to be on different teams and we got put together. Trying our best but we just can’t get there. Everyone wants to win but we just aren’t. Sucks.”

Sam “Octane” Larew even retweeted this tweet. Octane made his own tweet saying, “So tired of hearing “do this, do that, make a change here.” Literally just want this year to end.”

Hearing this is concerning as a competitive Call of Duty fan. The competition and most importantly the mental health of the players decreases very fast. Octane even came out saying that his mental health was suffering tweeting, “My mental health lately has been dirt.”

We saw another player with the same issue Prestinni formerly of the Mutineers now with the Huntsmen benching himself because of his mental health. This was a shock to most people because it came right after a second-place finish.

Octane has even went to making meme’s about his team tweeting this:

Josiah “Slacked” Berry even went to Twitter saying “We didn’t scrim for two weeks trying to get a new 5th. Come to find out its impossible then we try enable for a week because it cant get worse and it got WAY worse. I think we went 6-39 in scrims leading up to this, yes the effort wasn’t fully there but we were so far behind.”

Problems With The Managers

Karma came on reddit defending his coach “Nubzy” saying, “We tried getting a fast player to help our problem and it was shut down and none of that is on joey (Nubzy).”
