About Afro
Marcus “Afro” Reid launched his competitive gaming career at the age of 18 in the Challengers circuit for Black Ops 4, where he established himself as one of the European scene’s most promising young players. During the Modern Warfare season, Afro joined Team WaR, and the European prodigy delivered an astonishingly consistent performance—with Team WaR, Afro claimed seven first place tournament finishes in official CDL Challengers events. Afro was signed to London Royal Ravens as a substitute player during the Black Ops: Cold War season and joined the team’s starting roster shortly before the Major 4 qualifiers in 2021.
About Cammy
Cameron “Cammy” McKilligan is joining Minnesota Røkkr as a flex player after nearly three years on Toronto Ultra, where he played alongside fellow Minnesota Røkkr newcomer Bance. Cammy made a name for himself on the Challengers circuit for Black Ops 4, and the young Scottish player was signed to the starting roster of Toronto Ultra for the CDL’s inaugural season. Cammy’s Search and Destroy prowess in Modern Warfare was unmatched, and during his rookie season in the CDL, Cammy’s snappy aim and playmaking ability helped his team secure numerous meaningful wins at both online and offline events. Over the course of the Black Ops: Cold War and Vanguard seasons, Cammy emerged as a superstar flex player, delivering explosive performances in crucial games. Cammy’s first Call of Duty game was World At War, which his father bought for him as a Christmas gift.
