According to Scump — one of the most known figures in the CDL scene — Pred is reportedly going to step down from his spot on the main roster due to some personal reasons. The player cited that he does not participate in such discussions and has no involvement in the decision-making as the organization takes the final call in these situations.

Pred is an accomplished CDL player who played in the Esports World Cup 2024 and helped the team acquire the third-fourth spot after losing against Atlanta FaZe. Huke is also a powerhouse who contributed to Vancouver Surge’s third-fourth position in the same tournament. The replacement might put the roster in a difficult spot as everyone might need to readjust to each other’s gameplay and adopt new strategies.
