LA Thieves officially announced that both Huke and SlasheR will be returning to their starting CDL lineup, ahead of their Stage 4 Home Series and the Stage 4 Major of Call Of Duty League 2021.
LA Thieves had dropped two Call of Duty superstars this season: Austin ‘SlasheR’ Liddicoat in April and Cuyler ‘Huke’ Garland in May. Now, following a Huke tell-all YouTube video and the anticipation of LAN, both the highly experienced LAN players are making surprise returns to the starting lineup.
SlasheR will be taking his seat back from replacement, Zack ‘Drazah’ Jordan’s spot in the lineup, despite the replacement Drazah appearing to be a strong AR in the CDL from LA thieves.
On the other hand, Huke will be replacing Carlos ‘Venom’ Hernandez, a highly talented and most talked about rookie in CDL 2021, whose spot in the starting lineup felt untouchable.
- The move follows a candid video from Huke, who reflected on discomforts with his teams and Adderall usage during 2020’s CDL Champs.
LA Thieves will face two strong teams during their Home Series: the Minnesota ROKKR and OpTic Chicago, providing a strong proving ground for the new lineup. Nadeshot looks confident with their new CDL 2021 lineup.

I know we have shifted this roster around quite a bit this year with a variety of talented Call of Duty players but with LAN events back on the horizon, we decided to field a lineup with star-studded veteran talent with proven results. Looking forward to the rest of the season.
