The CDL has some really awesome individuals working on broadcast and behind the scenes, but the lack of communication from the league itself has been trying at best and actively callous at worst.Īrda Ocal: I talked about a lot of this yesterday, and you can just take a look at our roundtable there to see my opinions. Infinity Ward has been notoriously difficult to work with regarding anything competitive that's not Warzone. Modern Warfare needed a pause feature when the game was in development. I know that not all of this is on the CDL itself. The lack of communication and the subsequent stream delay also makes it apparent that this wasn't server hardware issues (which the league also suffered from earlier in the year when going fully online) but likely IP leaks that led to some intrepid people taking out certain players from the games. Read more: Call of Duty League continues to have connectivity issues | Disconnections tarnish CDL playoff results I'm not in any way suggesting that it shouldn't have been fixed - doing something is still better than continuing to let players get kicked out of competitive matches in your championship series - but the fixes should have been communicated and the league should have taken responsibility for Days 1 and 2. And imagine the league not communicating the reasoning for the fix or how this could (and should) have been prevented in the first place. Imagine being the London Royal Ravens or OpTic Gaming Los Angeles and seeing that on Day 3 the streams of the games have been delayed to prevent people from booting players out of matches, as appeared to have happened to players on your team on the second and first days of competition, respectively. More specifically, the players who played in matches during Days 1 and 2 of Champs. What do we think of the decision to delay the stream, why didn't it happen sooner, and why no communication from the league?Įmily Rand: I know people are automatically going to bring up the millions of dollars on the line and memes regarding the Call of Duty League, but I feel badly for the players more than any other people involved in this. It has been one day since we had a disconnect (because the matches were delayed Friday). Here's another roundtable with highlights and lowlights from the third day of CDL Champs. On Friday, instead of the disconnects we saw in the previous series, we saw a delayed stream with the results leaked by the CDL website itself. LA Thieves pulled out a close one against Florida Mutineers and I think if this game was against anyone in the Top 5 I wouldn't be picking them to win right now.Not one day of the Call of Duty League Championship has gone by without some sort of hiccup.

Today I'll be bringing you my COD DFS advice, analysis, and lineup picks for eSports DFS contests on DraftKings for Friday, February 18th, 2022, at 3:00 PM EST. Toronto has played very well so far and Optic is still trying to find their groove should be a fun one to finish the night off. I have been following the COD League for about five years now and I finally get to put all this knowledge to the test! We have Paris taking on LA Thieves in the first matchup of the day then we have the first place Atlanta FaZe taking on Minnesota who look to get back on track after back-to-back losses, and finally, the game of the day belongs to Optic vs Toronto. This is easily one of my favorite sports to cover here at Rotoballer because I play a ton of COD myself and I like to think I'm pretty good at it as well. Both teams are looking to finish strong, but lots of teams in the middle still looking for a shot at an upper bracket spot. Atlanta and Seattle still sit atop the standings coming into the final weekend before the first Major of the season. Looks like a more heavily favored slate this time around with fewer games being close. Nailed the picks in last week's article and gonna look at getting them all right again. Hello there eSports DFS enthusiasts, and welcome back to RotoBaller's coverage of Call of Duty DFS contests for DraftKings! A much better weekend than it was previously.
