Florida Mutineers is the official Call of Duty League franchise team of Florida, United States. It is owned and operated by Misfits Gaming.
History
Modern Warfare
The franchise was announced on August 20, 2019. On August 26, the team signed one of the greatest console players of all time, OGRE2, as general manager. The team branding was revealed as the Florida Mutineers on October 28. After months of rumors, the team's first roster was officially revealed on December 2, with Prestinni, Havok, Maux, Skyz, and Frosty joining alongside Atura as coach. Streamer and former Halo player MaNiaC joined as the team's first substitute on December 11. Atura was listed as a substitute on the Call of Duty League website on January 13, 2020.
The Mutineers opened their season with a game five win against Seattle Surge and a game five loss to Los Angeles Guerrillas at the inaugural Launch Weekend. In their first tournament weekend, Florida came out of Group A with the second seed after getting revenge against London Royal Ravens, who beat them in the first match, in the decider game. This set them up against undefeated Chicago Huntsmen in the semi finals. The Mutineers became the first team to defeat Chicago but their momentum ended as Atlanta FaZe took their own home series championship. On March 6, the day before Week 4 matches began, it was announced that Prestinni would be replaced by Fero at the event due to team approved personal reasons. Florida faced off against Atlanta FaZe in their first series, a rematch of the previous week's final and Atlanta once again took the series. The team was able to find their feet against New York Subliners and were then eliminated by Dallas Empire to place Top 6.

We’re a group of misfits, here to cause mayhem.
