London Royal Ravens roster shakeup: PaulEhx replaces Parasite in crucial CDL Stage 2 move
Roster Shakeup Announcement
Facing mounting pressure from their winless record, the London Royal Ravens have made a decisive roster move, releasing veteran player Chris ‘Parasite’ Duarte and signing North American Challengers standout Paul ‘PaulEhx’ Avila.
This transition comes at a critical juncture in the 2021 Call of Duty League season, with the Royal Ravens being the only team yet to secure a victory. The organization’s official Twitter account announced the change on March 16, expressing enthusiasm about their new acquisition while acknowledging Parasite’s contributions.
We are delighted to announce the addition of @PaulEhx_ to the starting roster.

PaulEhx’s Competitive Background
PaulEhx enters the professional league with an impressive amateur track record, having been a key player for WestR’s dominant NA Challengers squad. His team claimed victory in the first four Challengers Cups and Elite Stage 1, establishing themselves as the team to beat in the developmental circuit.
The transition to CDL play represents a significant step up in competition level. While PaulEhx has competed in Call of Duty tournaments for several years, this marks his first opportunity at the highest level of organized play. His aggressive SMG playstyle and objective focus could provide the spark London desperately needs.
Strategic Implications
This roster change may represent a temporary solution until Trei ‘Zer0′ Morris can resolve his visa complications. The Royal Ravens’ original starter has been unable to join the US-based team from the UK, creating ongoing roster instability.
The team faces a challenging Stage 2 schedule that will test their new lineup immediately:
With matches against four current playoff contenders, PaulEhx will need to adapt quickly to CDL-level competition. The Royal Ravens’ management has emphasized they’re not in panic mode yet, but the clock is ticking to turn their season around before the Stage 2 Major.
