📊ANALYSIS - Clayster Shifts The Culture: Prior to #CDL2023 Major IV, Vegas Legion (formerly Paris) had never placed into Winner's Bracket of a Major tournament. For three years, this team STRUGGLED. That all changed with the relocation of both the Legion Franchise and 3x Champ, @Clayster On October 7, 2022, it was announced that the newly named Las Vegas Legion would be signing Prolute, TJHaLy, and Clayster to join Temp heading into the Modern Warfare II season. As crazy as it sounds, Clayster arguably had the least amount of hype of the three incoming players after the Vanguard season. TJHaLy had a solid year with the Boston Breach in their inaugural season while Prolute held his own filling in for iLLeY (injury) on OpTic Texas. Clayster was benched by the New York Subliners and it was uncertain whether or not he would land on a team for MWII. After blowing up the roster (aside from Temp) that won only two matches in all of Vanguard, Vegas opted to sign experienced players rather than younger players from Challengers. This opened up the door for Clayster to return to the CDL and the decision has paid off in many ways. Legion have taken steps forward with each stage and a few roster changes as well. One of the most iconic moments this season took place at Major III when Vegas pulled off an absurd comeback on Hotel Hardpoint vs the LA Thieves. The team currently made up of Clayster, Temp, TJ, and Standy (released by Toronto Ultra during Stage III) has placed into Winner's Bracket for Major IV and has made lots of fans believe that they're a legit threat to make it to Championship Sunday. The most recent announcement from the COD League confirmed that CDL Champs will be held in Las Vegas in June. Legion are currently the 8th seed in the CDL Standings and have a legitimate chance to clinch that final spot for the pinnacle post-season tournament. It's fitting that one of the all-time greats has led the charge on a change in culture and team success that has many eyes now focused on the Las Vegas Legion. James "Clayster" Eubanks' fiery passion is on full display with each match and it's no coincidence that the organization has gone from a laughing stock to a legit contender since signing him to the roster. – at Raleigh, NC
