HyDra is a free agent after spending last season with the New York Subliners.
The “French Phenom” helped lead New York to a miraculous CoD Champs qualification run and was named to the CDL 2022 first team.
Attach, a 2015 CoD World Champion, is considered a top free agent among a loaded class. The reliable AR will likely be at the top of most teams’ wish lists.
