Reports suggest that the Carolina Royal Ravens are on the verge of finalizing a deal to acquire a trio of European players that could significantly alter their Call of Duty League roster. Sources indicate that Carolina is looking to bring in Afro, Mythix, and Beans, a move that could bring about a new era for the franchise in the upcoming season. Although the organization has not confirmed anything yet, discussions about transferring star player Lurqxx to Cloud9 are said to be ongoing.
A package deal, not three separate signings
What sets this rumor apart is the approach taken. Instead of pursuing these players individually, Carolina seems to be aiming for all three as a package deal. Allegedly, Beans has expressed interest in teaming up with Mythix, while G2 initially wanted to keep Beans until Carolina’s offer changed the situation. Afro, on the other hand, had attracted interest from Cloud9 before opting for Carolina, highlighting the appeal of the team’s rebuilding strategy within the Call of Duty League.
Who are Afro, Mythix, and Beans?
Mythix has been making a name for himself, impressing in multiple EU Challengers seasons and making a strong showing at the recent Esports World Cup with The Pit EU. This performance seems to have sparked Beans’ desire to team up with him, leading to Carolina’s expected acquisition of Beans despite G2’s interest. Afro completes the trio as a wildcard signing, drawing Cloud9’s attention before ultimately choosing Carolina as the better fit.
The Lurqxx situation and G2 Minnesota’s visa challenge
These developments are interconnected. Carolina’s pursuit of the European trio coincides with the ongoing discussions about Lurqxx joining Cloud9, which is described as a matter of when, not if. Another layer to this story involves a rival team: G2 Minnesota was initially considered the likely destination for Afro, Mythix, and Beans until visa issues arose, highlighting the logistical hurdles faced by teams looking to build around European talent in the Call of Duty League.
What remains to be seen
None of these transactions have been finalized yet. The signings of Afro, Mythix, and Beans by Carolina have not been officially announced, and the transfer of Lurqxx to Cloud9 is still pending. Until there is an official statement from the team or league confirming these moves, fans will have to wait for concrete confirmation rather than relying solely on reports.
