The second edition of Call of Duty League is officially underway since the end of All-Star Weekend. This new season has already been full of a lot of drama around each contesting team. First, the 4v4 format change has led to drastic roster changes. Further, many pros who had a great first year are currently sitting with no teams.

Second, a few senior members have complained about how the financial scenario regarding pro tourneys is handled. All things considered, this new edition will see a lot more drama than the first. Mostly because the foundation has been laid, and players are looking forward to setting up their individual legacy in the League.

The nature of the competition is so high at the moment, if anybody lets a tiny bit slip, they lose their place before the game boots up.

While this doesn’t apparently seem to affect pros directly, there are a lot of factors at play here. The biggest of them being after almost five years players will get a new controller to play with.
