Call Of Duty: A frustrated rSports team decides to call it quits

After going winless in CEVO-P, rSports go their separate ways.

It’s hard to believe that just over a month ago, rSports took down Esomenic in the CEVO placement tournament, earning their right to compete against North America’s best teams. Since that time, they have experienced an increasing lack of interest in the game, finally culminating Thursday night with a 21-3 loss to Focal on mp_crash. Shortly after the loss, the team decided to call it a day and go their separate ways. 2shoes, a former rSports member, had this to say about their death: “We died due to a general lack of interest in CoD4, a recent starter leaving and quitting gaming, and going 0-6 in CEVO-P.” Through three weeks of competition, rSports was dead last in the standings, unable to find a single win.

Alright, I know what you’re thinking: with rSports jumping ship, what does this mean for the rest of CEVO-P? Will any top tier CEVO-A teams be moved up to fill the vacancy this season? Luckily, I was able to get a statement from CEVO|Tannehill on the situation. Here’s what he had to say: “While it’s unfortunate that teams die during the regular season, it’s nothing new. There always seems to be one or two teams that don't finish every season. It's a little bit too late to actually move any teams up to take their place, so nothing will change in regards to teams currently in CEVO-P.”

It is currently unknown at this time whether the former rSports members will be joining new teams. Make sure you stick with GotFrag for all the latest roster moves.
