Right before the MLG Advanced Warfare Season 1 trade deadline Aware Gaming sneakily traded for one of the most talented players in the world, Cuyler “Huke” Garland, who happens to be only 15 years old. Aware shipped Brian “PRXPLX” Lado, another sought after young commodity after his performance at UMG Orlando, off to Team Prophecy in exchange for Huke, solidifying Aware’s Season 1 lineup as follows: Huke (@STNNR_Huke), Tommy “TJHaLy” (STNNR_TJHaLy), Nick “Happy” Suda (@Aware_Happy), and Lamar “Accuracy” Abedi (@Aware_Accuracy). With this current roster they could make some serious noise in the Season 1 playoffs, sadly enough, they will not be able to compete with this team at the Call of Duty World Championships (I’ll save my rant on COD Champs for another article). With the recent pickup of Huke, Aware is the only team in the entire world to comprise of 3 players in the top 15, from UMG Orlando, in both Out Slaying percentage (OS %) and Kill Death Ratio (K/D). Those two categories play a major role in the outcome of not only a respawn game mode, but also in Search and Destroy, which, proven by Stunner Gaming at Orlando, can take you deep into a tournament. Here are the statistics from Orlando for Aware’s new roster: Orlando Happy: K/D: 1.14 (5th) AI: 41.05 (51st) K/R: 27.29 (45th) OS %: 57.89% (13th) Huke: K/D: 1.10 (13th) AI: 43.28 (26th) K/R: 29.48 (20th) OS %: 62.50% (8th) TJHaLy: K/D: 1.13 (6th) AI: 47.31 (2nd) K/R: 31.30 (5th) OS %: 68.75% (4th) Accuracy: K/D: 0.94 (58th) AI: 41.16 (48th) K/R: 24.79 (73rd) OS %: 47.37% (38th) Statistically Aware now has 3 top 15 slayers in the game today. The greatest part about this team is that none of these great talents are named Scump, Crimsix or Formal, and none of them are on OpTic. Actually, Happy and Scump are the only two players be top 5 in K/D not only at the past two major LAN events, MLG Columbus and UMG Orlando, but also in the online season. So, for Happy, this article was a long time coming, and so is his national, wide spread, recognition as one of the best kept secrets, or talents, tine the game. The sad news about this roster, and for the old Stunner Gaming roster, is that since Huke is under 18 years of age, he will not be able to participate at the Call of Duty World Championships (again, the rant will come later). So, we will only be able to see this squad’s abilities during this MLG online Season (season 1). These are names that only the amateur community has come to know and love. For us these are household names. Seeing TJHaLy make that incredible play on main-stage against OpTic, and having he and Huke live up to the hype, was absolutely splendid. These players represent the populous, the unknowns, the amateurs, the players who never got a shot at playing with the professional players, and instead created their own shot by playing together. I hope these guys continue to transcend their careers, talent and character, and never forget where they came from, and who was with them from the start. Let me know how well Aware will do during this MLG Online Season in the comments below, or at me on Twitter @SaVi_JayD!
