Før starten på 2021-sesongen av Call of Duty har Dallas Empire måttet foreta en endring på deres ellers ganske suksessfulle lag. Det skjer fordi de er nødt til å tilpasse seg det nye 4v4-formatet, som før var 5v5. Det betyr at James "Clayster" Eubanks forlater laget, og han har nå skrevet kontrakt med New York Subliners. Det later imidlertid til at deler av Empire-organisasjonen har forsøkt å få Clayster tilbake, og blant annet Ian "Crimsix" Porter har skrevet følgende på Twitter:
"When we replaced Cuyler w/ @FeLo, we told Tyler that it was very likely that it was temporary. Tyler took a lot of the flak & still gave it 110% every single day despite knowing this. It was also done so Inder [Indervir "iLLeY" Dhaliwal] could start running a sub in preparation for who we wanted at the time. The person we wanted was @Clayster above everyone. As Clay is an AR, we were fine with running group matches w/ Felo & Inder on sub until we got him. Trade negotiations fell through especially after NYSL just got 2nd in Stage 3 so we can't really be mad at that. Just unfortunate."
