FaZe Clan’s Call of Duty stars have reacted to their underwhelming performance at the CWL Pro League Qualifier, which saw the historic organization miss out on entry to the league.
French squad Overtime Esports knocked FaZe out of the tournament in the second round of the qualifier, meaning the organization will not be competing in this season’s top Call of Duty league.
In the aftermath of their exit from the competition, a number of FaZe’s players tweeted their disappointment, with long-time member Dillon ‘Attach’ Price apologizing to fans, saying: “Sorry to all FaZe and my supporters for a disappointing start to the season. I wish we could’ve figured out our issues sooner.”
Sorry to all the FaZe and My supporters for a disappointing start to the season. Wish we could’ve figured out our issues sooner. Thank you for the continued support.

FaZe’s newest signee McArthur ‘Cellium’ Jovel tweeted that he was “heartbroken”, and that it “sucked” that they didn’t make it, leaving him feeling that they let their fans down.
Heartbroken, sucks we couldn’t make it and let all the fans down. Just gotta get better at this point

Preston ‘Priestahh’ Greiner thanked those who had followed FaZe during their tournament for their support, stating that he believed he needed to “suck less.”

Finally, Tommy ‘ZooMaa’ Paparatto tweeted just one word in the fallout from their exit, simply stating that he was “heartbroken”.

FaZe Clan’s sister team FC.Black also failed to qualify for the Pro League, meaning that the organization won’t be represented when the league kicks off in February.
All is not lost for the players on either squad though, as teams who have qualified will likely look to star players like Attach or ZooMaa as they attempt to pick up substitutes for the CWL Pro League.
