The Los Angeles Thieves have finalised their Call of Duty League (CDL) 2026 roster with two blockbuster signings. Kenneth “Kenny” Williams and Tyler “aBeZy” Pharris are officially joining the team, linking up with Paco “HyDra” Rusiewiez and Thomas “Scrap” Ernst for the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 season.

The announcement marks the end of an off-season filled with speculation, especially after Dylan “Envoy” Hannon and Daniel “Ghosty” Rothe departed following the Black Ops 6 campaign. With two world champions now on board, the Thieves look to bounce back stronger than ever.
Kenny Returns Home
For Kenny, this move is a return to familiar ground. The two-time world champion first represented LA Thieves from 2020 to 2023, lifting titles in 2022 and 2024. After a season with OpTic Texas during Modern Warfare 3, he now finds himself back with the organisation where he built his legacy. Fans will be eager to see whether he can replicate past success in the Thieves jersey.
A New Chapter for aBeZy
Meanwhile, aBeZy’s signing is equally significant. This is his first team change since 2019, having spent five years with Atlanta FaZe before their relocation and rebrand to FaZe Vegas. A two-time world champion in his own right, aBeZy brings relentless speed and slaying power, making him a dangerous addition to the Thieves’ already talented lineup.
Looking Back and Ahead
The 2025 season was a rollercoaster for LA Thieves. After claiming back-to-back Major victories late in the year, they entered CDL Champs as heavy favourites, only to bow out in the first elimination round in a shock result. With that disappointment behind them, the new roster aims to re-establish LA as one of the CDL’s top contenders.
With Black Ops 7 introducing fresh maps, mechanics, and competitive features, the 2026 season is shaping up to be one of the most exciting yet. And with Kenny and aBeZy joining HyDra and Scrap, the Los Angeles Thieves may finally have the perfect mix of star power and championship-winning pedigree to dominate once again.
