LOS ANGELES, CA – September 25, 2025 – The LA Thieves, the official Call of Duty League franchise for 100 Thieves, today announced its official roster for the upcoming 2026 CDL season. The new lineup will feature a strategic blend of veteran leadership and explosive talent, poised to make numerous championship runs.
Joining the LA Thieves are Tyler “aBeZy” Pharris, formerly of Atlanta FaZe, and Kenneth “Kenny” Williams, who returns back to the LA Thieves after his Champs winning run back in 2022 with the organization. They will team up with returning players Paco “HyDra” Rusiewiez and Thomas “Scrap” Ernst to complete the starting roster.
aBeZy already holds a very distinguished career as a two-time Champs winner and one of the greatest SMG players in Call of Duty history. Kenny returns to the Thieves after a few years away from the team, during which he went on to win another Championship during his time at OpTic Gaming, further cementing himself as one of the best to ever do it as well.
"After a disappointing end to the 2025 season we wanted to change our direction going into this year. Kenny and Abezy are coming into the line up with a chip on their shoulder and looking for a resurgence from last season. Both of them have all the intangibles a dominant team needs to perform." said Shane McKerral, Head Coach of the LA Thieves. "This team is built for consistency in the biggest moments on the biggest stages, which we owe to our fans going into 2026".
The organization also announced the departures of Daniel “Ghosty” Rothe-Malachinski and Dylan “Envoy” Hannon.
"We want to extend our sincerest gratitude to Ghosty and Envoy for their dedication and contributions to the LA Thieves. They are both exceptional players and teammates, and we wish them nothing but the best in the next chapter of their careers."
The new LA Thieves roster will begin competing at the start of the Call of Duty League season in December.
