Brandon | Novus

Been a little quiet on socials, but grateful to have supported several of the top CDL teams this past season. I’ve been building tools to give teams the statistical edge in practice, matches, and scouting. Everything from automated VOD sessions to hill holds/breaks, bait/trade analysis and more. If you’re a team or player who cares about getting better and winning, my DMs are open if you want to learn more. Looking forward to the season, a lot more to come!

@JakeHaleee True professional in the space. Best of luck in the next role 💪

Today is my last day as an esports journalist, after almost 9 years reporting on the space. I'll still be writing in esports/gaming in my next role, but there'll be no more “Sources”. Hopefully the new stuff will be more impactful than anything I’ve done yet. Cheers all 🍻

@tBushGaming @DenzJT @ZachDenyer

@OctaneSam @strakaberry Congratulations to both of you!!!

It’s a happy time in the Larew household🥹 All the love to my beautiful wife @strakaberry ❤️ I guess its time to accept I may be an unc after all…

@SlasheR_AL One of the best to touch the game, congrats on an incredible career. Wishing you the best with what's next. Been a pleasure to compete together and against.

Call of Duty Community... Over the holiday break I have made one of the toughest decisions I've ever had to make. I'm officially retiring from competitive Call of Duty. Due to the timing of my decision I didn't have a chance to make a video going in depth with my reasons. So, I figured it would be best to write something so you hopefully hear it from me first. I loved the game and anyone who knows me truly understands I lived for the competition. I always strived to be the hardest worker in the room as it fueled my confidence knowing I was more prepared than my opponent. However, as of late the game and the current CDL format doesn’t inspire the same level of excitement I once had for playing competitive COD. I would love to stay involved in the community in some way but as of right now I have no idea what the future holds. Thank you to all my teammates, fellow competitors, and the fans for making this journey so special and fun for me all these years. We created memories and friendships that will last a lifetime. I would also like to thank my friends and family for supporting me all these years and understanding the sacrifices I needed to make in order to be great. I couldn’t have done it without you. The end of an era…

First win as a coach! Was gagging to spawn in that map 7 but the boys got the job done. Been a breath of fresh air coaching and watching these lads apply what we discuss out of game, ingame. Onto the next! #FlyROC

@ClaireofDuty @CODLeague COD events won't be the same without you Claire. Wishing you the best with what's next and thanks for all that you've done for the community, players and teams.

My time at @CODLeague has come to an end. 2 yrs ago layoffs happened; everything changed. Been a struggle to maintain standards since then. I loved helping build the CDL & being a PRC. There's far too many people to thank but know I appreciate all of you. Stay Frosty 💙
