That was followed hours later with the announcement of Attach, who expressed his excitement at teaming with a “stacked” lineup of players.
“I chose to play in New York for the 2020 Call of Duty season because it’s one of the greatest, if not the greatest, cities in the world,” he said in a video. “The lineup we have on our team is stacked. A lot of my good friends and super talented players. The support staff around us – coach Bobble and JP – are some of the best in the esports business. I can’t wait for all you guys to come on this journey with us, as we try to win as many championships as we can for this city.
Welcome to the @andbox_official family – Dillon “@Attach” Price.
He became a World Champion at 18 years old, won the 2018 Esports Play of the Year, and was a 2019 All-Star.

Zer0 is a veteran of the Call of Duty scene, first competing back in 2015. Following a spell at Splyce and Red Reserve, the Brit signed on with FaZe Clan in April 2019, representing the legendary organization their CWL Pro League campaign, with the squad finishing third at Playoffs, but a disappointing 13-16 at CWL Champs.
With the move, the 22-year-old will link up again with ZooMaa, who were teammates on FaZe’s roster throughout much of the Black Ops 4 season, and now heading into Modern Warfare and the franchised league.
Zer0 is one of three ex-FaZe players to be a part of the NYC CoD roster.As for Attach, his exemplary resume speaks for itself. Since winning the 2015 Call of Duty Chamionship with Denial Esports, he’s been considered one of the best players in the scene, even when he had to go out on loan to Evil Geniuses from FaZe midway through the 2019 season.
He too will be reuniting with ZooMaa after a brief spell apart, reforming a powerful duo that led FaZe for over four years.
