The gaming community has seen many professional players retire this year. Now, another pro has come out to say that he might retire if things remain the same in the Call of Duty [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/call-of-duty-modern-warfare/] league. Austin “SlasheR” Liddicoat, of OpTic Gaming [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/optic-gaming/], has stated that he?d have to think about playing next year if the League continues to be online. He is a 2016 World Champion and has been part of some of the top Esports organizations in the world. CALL OF DUTY – SLASHER UPSET The Call of Duty League is a professional Esports league. It has been completely online in its inaugural season. However, SlasheR is not a fan of the inconsistent servers and connections.? Shortly after the statement, he made posted another tweet that could mean the player is looking for a streaming career next. In his Twitch [https://www.twitch.tv/slasheral] stream, SlasheR further highlighted how he does not want to be in this situation anymore. He wants to showcase his talent; the lack of an opportunity to do so may force him to consider retirement.? ?I will heavily consider retiring, I mean probably not forever but until uh lane comes back. If next year?s online, I can?t put myself through this anymore. I can?t continue to play you know, 10 hours a day to not even have a fair chance to like showcase my talent. It?s one thing if you know, you give it your all and you lose and you just weren?t good enough. But it?s another thing if you don?t even get a chance to give it your all.? Previously, in May, Slasher had similar comments on the league over network conditions during matchups. He termed the conditions as ?unacceptable.? This was following his team?s loss in the CDL.? SlasheR is clearly not a fan of the online format. Such matches are heavily reliant on the network and the slightest failure could cost the respective team. Slasher hinted at retirement if the League doesn?t revamp its format again. OpTic has had several issues with the servers in many matches and, well, no one is a fan of their team losing. The Call of Duty League has received s lot of backlash for several reasons. A player of SlasheR?s caliber retiring would be the last thing the fans want. Hopefully, the League finds a solution for this in due time. 

OpTic Gaming pro has stated that he would likely consider retirement if the Call of Duty League continues to be online next season.

<h3 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9">Call of Duty: History and Sale in 2022</h3>
Over the span of two decades, the phrase 'Call of Duty' has become a household name. Starting in 2003, Call of Duty is a first-person shooter video game franchise published by Activision.

The franchise has given rise to some of the most popular FPS titles, with Infinity Ward and Treyarch developing most of them. Sledgehammer Games and other studios have also contributed to developing some titles. Fans are greeted with a new Call of Duty game every year, with the above-mentioned studios rotating their role as the primary developer.

First-person shooter video game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II was created by Infinity Ward and released by Activision in 2022. It serves as the nineteenth entry in the overall Call of Duty franchise and is a follow-up to the 2019 reboot. For the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, it was published on October 28, 2022.

The game takes place in a realistic, contemporary environment, just like its predecessor. The campaign centers on the pursuit of terrorist Hassan Zyani, who is in possession of American-made ballistic missiles, by multinational special operations unit Task Force 141 and Mexican Special Forces unit Los Vaqueros. Modern Warfare II continues to offer cross-platform multiplayer thanks to a new iteration of the IW engine.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II became the fastest-selling Call of Duty game of all time. The game grossed $800 million in its first three days and $1 billion in 10 days, surpassing the series' previous record holders, 2011's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and 2012's Black Ops II. It is the best-selling game of 2022 in the United States.
In the UK, Modern Warfare II became the best-selling game in its first week of release.
