Simp is the leading candidate for a major CDL transfer to Paris Gentle Mates.

Chris “Simp” Lehr is the prime target for Paris Gentle Mates as they gear up for the upcoming CDL season. The French organization has set its sights on the American player, according to various sources.

Simp has established himself as one of the most influential players in CDL history. With multiple league championships and MVP awards under his belt, his mere presence can significantly alter the competitive landscape of the league.

After rebranding from LA Guerrillas M8 to Paris Gentle Mates in late 2025, the team welcomed Envoy, Ghosty, Neptune, and Sib, along with Mayhem and Cheek as coaching staff. Currently, the active roster includes Sib and JoeDeceives, who joined mid-season from Toronto KOI, while Estreal has been declared a restricted free agent.

Simp’s ability to dominate and control critical map areas would enhance the versatility of Gentle Mates’ roster. Major teams like Atlanta FaZe and OpTic Texas are anticipated to make significant roster changes ahead of the new season.

If the French organization can secure Simp, it would provide them with a vital early advantage, marking one of the offseason’s most impactful moves. However, as of now, nothing has been confirmed, and neither Gentle Mates nor Simp’s representatives have made any official statements regarding the potential transfer.

Simp is among the most accomplished players in Call of Duty history, having made his mark since 2019 with eUnited, where he clinched the CWL Championship and earned Champs MVP honors.

Throughout his career, the American player has amassed three world titles, numerous CDL Major championships, and a series of MVP awards across both regular seasons and majors. He has been a key player in FaZe’s success, both in Atlanta and now with FaZe Vegas, and is widely recognized as one of the greatest SMG players of all time.
