Call of Duty<\/em> history has been made during the Seattle Surge Home Series today.<\/p>

By replacing Enable for Arklov Peak Search and Destroy against the New York Subliners, Casey “Pandur” Romano has become the first mid-match substitute in Call of Duty<\/em> League history. Pandur played three events with the Surge in place of Enable until he was benched on May 12.<\/p>

https:\/\/twitter.com\/codleague\/status\/1264017629091487744?s=21 <\/div><\/figure>

The weakest part of Enable’s game, analysts say, has been his Search and Destroy play. And with Pandur in the lineup, the Surge were able to win a few Search and Destroy maps in the three events in which he competed.<\/p>

Only once in Call of Duty<\/em> history has a player on a professional team been replaced during a series. At CWL Fort Worth in March 2019, Fero subbed in for Priestahh, who fell ill during 100T’s losers bracket run. Priestahh allegedly vomited during a game, according to 100 Thieves founder Nadeshot.<\/p>

By replacing Enable for Arklov Peak Search and Destroy against the New York Subliners, Casey \"Pandur\" Romano has become the first mid-match substitute in Call of Duty League history. Pandur played three events with the Surge in place of Enable until he was benched on May 12. https:\/\/twitter.com\/codleague\/status\/1264017629091487744?s=21 The weakest part of Enable's game, analysts say, has been his Search and Destroy play. And with Pandur in the lineup, the Surge were able to win a few Search and Destroy maps in the three events in which he competed. Only once in Call of Duty history has a player on a professional team been replaced during a series. At CWL Fort Worth in March 2019, Fero subbed in for Priestahh, who fell ill during 100T's losers bracket run. Priestahh allegedly vomited during a game, according to 100 Thieves founder Nadeshot. The Surge lost the first map, so Arklov Peak Search and Destroy could be a big swing in momentum.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/30180240\/Surge.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258076"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/958"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=258076"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258076\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/188751"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=258076"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=258076"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=258076"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=258076"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=258076"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=258076"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=258076"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
