The Carolina Royal Ravens are reportedly closing in on a three-player European package that would fundamentally reshape their Call of Duty League roster. According to Breaking Point, sources indicate Carolina is targeting Afro, Mythix and Beans, a move that could redefine the franchise’s identity heading into next season. Nothing has been confirmed by the organization itself, and the report notes that talks over a separate transfer sending star player Lurqxx to Cloud9 are still ongoing.
A package deal, not three separate signings
What makes this particular rumor interesting is the framing. Carolina isn’t reportedly chasing these three players individually, they’re being pursued as a package, according to the report. Beans has reportedly expressed a desire to play alongside Mythix this offseason, and G2 had hoped to retain Beans before Carolina’s willingness to take all three off the market changed the calculus. Afro, meanwhile, had drawn earlier interest from Cloud9 before reportedly deciding to pass in favor of Carolina, a shift that says plenty about how the front office is being sold on this rebuild within the broader Call of Duty League ecosystem.
Who are Afro, Mythix and Beans?
Mythix has been quietly building a reputation, impressing across multiple seasons of EU Challengers before delivering a strong showing at the recent Esports World Cup with The Pit EU. That performance appears to have been the catalyst for Beans wanting to team up with him, and it’s reportedly a big reason Carolina is expected to land Beans despite G2’s own interest in keeping him. Afro rounds out the trio as the wildcard signing, a player good enough to have Cloud9 sniffing around earlier in the offseason before apparently deciding Carolina was the better fit.
The Lurqxx wrinkle and G2 Minnesota’s visa problem
None of this happens in a vacuum. Carolina’s pursuit of the European trio lines up with the ongoing Lurqxx-to-Cloud9 talks, which the report describes as a matter of when, not if, rather than a done deal. There’s also a twist involving a rival suitor: G2 Minnesota had reportedly been viewed as the most likely destination for Afro, Mythix and Beans until just days ago, when it became clear the organization was unwilling to sort out the necessary visas, a logistical snag that any team building around European talent in the Call of Duty League has to navigate.
What still has to happen
None of these moves are official yet. Afro, Mythix and Beans have not been announced as Carolina signings, and the Lurqxx-to-Cloud9 transfer remains unresolved according to the available reporting. An official team statement, a league transaction log entry, or some other primary confirmation would be needed before fans can treat this as settled business rather than very well-sourced smoke.
