While the 100 Thieves Call of Duty World League team for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is one of the competing teams in the CWL Pro League for the 2019 season, the popular team owned by Call of Duty legend Matthew "Nadeshot" Haag has not had a very impressive start to the season with a 9-12 place finish at CWL Vegas and a close call of almost not qualifying for the CWL Pro League for Black Ops 4.
With many pointing to a lack of chemistry between the talented players on the 100 Thieves Call of Duty team being one of the main culprits of the team's poor start to the season, it was not surprising to see the organization announce two major changes to its Black Ops 4 team on Monday, January 28th.
The official Twitter account for the 100 Thieves organization announced on January 28th that former FaZe Clan player Preston "Priestahh" Greiner will be replacing Maurice "Fero" Henriquez on the starting roster for the organization's Call of Duty World League team.
Following the announcement of the addition of Priestahh to the starting roster, 100 Thieves also announced that former FaZe Clan player James "Crowder" Crowder will be taking on the role of Head Coach for the Black Ops 4 team.
Welcome @Priestahh to 100 Thieves Call of Duty.

Priestahh joins us on loan from FaZe for the remainder of the 2019 season. With his addition, Fero will move to a substitute role. We’ll be competing in CWL Pro League with Priestahh on the starting roster. #100T pic.twitter.com/9o4n1Ikqq0

Crowder additionally joins us on loan from FaZe for the 2019 CWL season. We’re confident his competitive experience will drive the team to the next level. #100T pic.twitter.com/Uomx4sM3qz
Due to FaZe Clan failing to qualify for the CWL Pro League, it was widely expected that the members of the FaZe Clan roster would be making their way to the rosters of teams who had been able to qualify for the CWL Pro League with the additions of Priestahh and Crowder to 100 Thieves being the first to be made public.
FaZe Clan stated in its own announcement of the major roster changes that no other information regarding the Call of Duty team of the popular esports organization would be made at this time.
#FaZeCOD: @Priestahh & @JamesCrowder's contracts have been loaned to 100 Thieves for the remainder of the 2019 Call of Duty season.

No corresponding moves will be announced at this time
Will the additions of two former FaZe Clan players in Priestahh and Crowder be the changes needed to make the 100 Thieves Call of Duty World League team for the Black Ops 4 season the powerhouse it was expected to be from the beginning? Join our community and let us know in the comments below!
