With the organization acquiring Excelerate’s spot, they’ll also take control of the 3-8 record EXG has compiled so far in the season. They’re tied for last place in Division B with Denial Esports right now.<\/p>

Elevate has been away from Call\u00a0of\u00a0Duty<\/em> esports for about eight months, with its last roster, which featured the core that joined Gen.G, finishing top eight at the 2018 CWL Championship.<\/p>

Since its creation, Elevate has generally been a well-known organization within Call\u00a0of\u00a0Duty<\/em>. Popular players like Dillon “Attach” Price, Bryan “Apathy” Zhelyazkov, and Austin “SlasheR” Liddicoat previously represented Elevate, but the organization’s biggest feat may be something it wants to forget. <\/p>
