The second major of the CDL has officially concluded, and with it comes a new wave of roster moves for teams who weren’t able to perform up to expectations. Below are the current rosters and rumors as CDL 2024 rostermania heats up once again.
Since New York Subliners’ win at CDL Champs 2023, the league already looks drastically different just a few months later. London packed its bags and shocked the CDL community by relocating its franchise to Charlotte.
In other relocation news, the Miami Heretics took over Florida’s CDL spot, though they haven’t found too much success just yet. Though the CDL Rostermania was thought to be all but over once the free agency period ended last year, things have really kicked into gear now that Major 2 has wrapped up.
With some teams falling far below where they expected to finish, orgs are scrambling to switch things up on their rosters and try to find success in the later half of their season.
Here are the latest CDL moves:
