The move reunites Fire with the Call of Duty League for the first time since his stint with the Paris Legion during the Black Ops Cold War season in 2021. Fresh off an impressive run with Telluride Bush Gaming, where he helped capture the Stage II North American Elite title and finish runner‑up at the Dallas Open, Fire joins a Carolina squad looking to break into the league’s upper tier.

Fire’s experience and slayer power as an AR anchor could provide the structure the Ravens need to stabilize in respawn modes while complementing Logan "Lurqxx" Brown, the current frontrunner for Rookie of the Year. With that duo leading the charge, Carolina suddenly looks like one of the league’s most intriguing wild cards heading into Stage III. If Fire can carry over his recent Challengers form and Lurqxx continues his breakout run, the Royal Ravens may be poised to challenge some of the CDL’s more established rosters as the season enters its crucial stretch.
