If you are an aspiring professional esports player, Call Of Duty also encourages amateur players to test their skills and start their esports journey through the Challengers Cups.
The Challengers Cups is a great way to experience Call Of Duty as an esports, as it is the official amateur-to-pro system for CDL.
Unlike other esports where players can get scouted through global rankings, the Challengers Cups gives equal opportunities to every Call Of Duty in every region to build their own squad and work their way up to professional esports.

Now that the CDL will have new teams, will veteran teams like OpTic Texas still dominate the scene, or will newer teams such as Team Falcons crush the competition? With less than a month away from the start of Major I, teams will have time to prepare and strategize.
Esports has never been more lively and Call Of Duty is back in its prime again so you better start practicing and work your way to the top! Be sure to stay updated with the latest gaming news and stories by following Gfinity Esports.
