He has achieved his third world championship title.
Shotzzy has just enhanced his impressive achievements, adding a new championship to his collection.
The 23-year-old talent played a pivotal role in guiding OpTic Texas to consecutive championship victories at the Call of Duty League (CDL) Championship Weekend 2025, which took place to an enthusiastic audience at the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium in Canada.
The Green Wall stood strong under intense competition, triumphing over Vancouver Surge in an exhilarating 5-3 final match. This victory solidifies their historical significance as the first team to win the CoD championships in back-to-back years.
With this latest success, Shotzzy joins an elite group of players, equalling the record for the most CoD world titles with three, alongside iconic players such as Crimsix, Karma, and Clayster. Notably, he became the youngest player to achieve this milestone and is one of only six competitors to win CoD Champs in consecutive seasons.
Following such a significant victory, discussions about his standing among the greatest players arose during the post-match press conference. When questioned about his place in the all-time rankings, Shotzzy humbly expressed his perspective.
«I don’t even know where I stand, even before this ring,» he remarked. «But I mean… surely I’m in the top 10, right?»
This assessment isn’t without merit. Shotzzy is the first first-person shooter (FPS) professional to win world titles in two different esports (including Halo), has secured eight Major tournament victories, and earned his first CoD world championship along with the Most Valuable Player accolade in his rookie year in 2020. He is well-known for his extraordinary movement skills.
Nevertheless, in comparison to the legends of CoD, Shotzzy’s trophy collection has room for growth.
Crimsix, acknowledged as the most decorated CoD professional, boasts an unparalleled 38 Major victories. Karma and Clayster follow with 24 and 19 wins, respectively, while Scump, a fan favorite recognized as the face of CoD, has 29 Major wins along with a world championship and an X Games gold medal.
However, it is important to note that Shotzzy is only 23 and already a three-time world champion. He has ample time ahead in his career to accumulate more world and Major titles, and should he continue on this path, his name will inevitably be frequently mentioned in the CoD greatest of all time discussions. For the moment, he is relishing his achievements and quietly carving a significant legacy in Call of Duty history.
