The Call of Duty League’s upcoming season is shaping up to be an exciting one, especially with G2 Minnesota in the spotlight. The franchise has unveiled its refreshed roster for the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 season, gaining attention with strategic new signings. This transformation follows a rebranding effort, setting the stage for what fans hope will be a successful run.
Star-Studded Roster Announcement
G2 Minnesota has secured three new talents for their team, headlined by former CDL champion Cesar ‘Skyz’ Bueno. After clinching the CDL Championship in 2023, Skyz experienced challenging seasons with Cloud9 New York, Los Angeles Guerrillas M8, and OpTic Texas. Now, as part of G2 Minnesota, he aims to recapture the prowess that once made him a standout competitor. Joining Skyz are Justice ‘Estreal’ McMillan, Kyle ‘Kremp’ Haworth, and Paul ‘Mamba’ Solano, forming a robust starting lineup. Each player brings unique strengths, with Mamba coming off a victorious run in the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Challengers scene, and Kremp and Estreal boasting significant CDL experience.
A New Era for G2 Minnesota
This team overhaul is part of G2 Minnesota’s broader rebranding effort. In October, the franchise adopted a new identity, dropping the Rokkr name to embrace a stronger, more familiar brand. Last season saw the team struggle, finishing in 9th place and missing out on the CDL Championship despite a promising start at Major 1 2025. With a new lineup, the organization hopes to improve its standing significantly and make a strong impression in the league.
Looking Ahead
The fresh faces in G2 Minnesota’s roster signify a bold strategy to become a leading force in the league. Their skills will be put to the test at the Monster Energy Launch Invitational, a high-profile pre-season event that includes all 12 CDL franchises and four amateur squads. This showcase will provide an early glimpse of how G2 Minnesota’s new assembly might perform in the intense competitive environment of the Call of Duty League.
