Elevate has officially added Nicholas ‘Proto’ Maldonado, Chance ‘Maux’ Moncivaez and Michael ‘MajorManiak’ Szymaniak to its Call of Duty roster – confirming a move that has been suspected for a number of days.

The three newcomers join Michael ‘SpaceLy’ Schmale, the only player from the previous lineup to remain after the departure of Jared ‘Nagafen’ Harrell, Steve ‘Mochila’ Canle and Mikhail ‘Blfire’ Glushenok.
