Maurice “Fero” Henriquez, who passed away at 21 on Nov. 10, was a top tier Call of Duty player. He’ll be remembered for his aggressive playstyle that led the Florida Mutineers to three CDL Home Series wins.
Fero made risky plays and ran unorthodox SMG combinations dating back to his COD World War 2 days.
Plays like this top 10 highlights video put the fero in ferocious.
The sad news surrounding his passing was met with tributes from other players like Muddawg, Crimsix, Octane, and Slacked. The additional support from fans serves as a testament to his impact on the scene.
Fero was born on March 27, 1999, and got his first taste of professional Call of Duty after signing with Denial Esports at 15.
At 18, the rookie’s signature pushes pressured opponents in the Call of Duty World League. Fero was instrumental in Team Kaliber’s 2017 CWL Pro League Stage Two Playoffs win. The team even took home a $200,000 prize.
Try not to get excited watching their reaction:
The team returned strong the following year with a second-place finish in the 2018 CWL Championship. Fero went on to join the 100 Thieves for Black Ops 4 and was a mid-series substitute at the CWL Championship in Fort Worth in 2019.
Henriquez failed to get a spot on a Call of Duty League franchise for Modern Warfare in what seemed like a setback at the time and instead competed in the Challengers amateur circuit. In a reversal of fortune that one analyst called an incredible comeback story, Henriquez was picked up by Florida Mutineers in March.
The team won the Dallas CDL Home Series and continued to gain steam with wins in both Minnesota and Paris. Unfortunately, their momentum didn’t last. The Mutineers tied for 7th in the 2020 Call of Duty League Championship.
Fero’s last performance was at the Call of Duty League 2020 All-Star Weekend. The “top prospect” didn’t place high in the 1v1 competition, however, his legacy soared far beyond his final results.
Let’s hope every COD game always “feels like a pub.”
