History

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

Upon entering the CDL, the team then consisted of the following five man squad: Denz, KiSMET, Louqa, Shockz, and Zed.[4] The team began the season at the bottom of the radar, being looked at as the clear underdogs. Paris immediately responded with upset victories over OpTic Gaming LA and the London Royal Ravens.[5][6]

The team's success did not continue throughout the season however. The team went on to finish the season with a lackluster record of 11–17, as well as an early exit from the playoffs.[7] This poor showing led the team to drop its entire roster. The team went on to pick up the roster listed above with hopes of more success in the upcoming season.
