Activision has announced that they have created an entirely new eSports league, known as Call of Duty World League. The new league is set to support the ever-growing community of eSports fans through its own eSports team.
Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing, Inc., said:
“Call of Duty has always been about community, camaraderie and competition, which drives incredible engagement with the game all year long. eSports allows us to deliver these moments to our fans whether they are playing the game themselves or cheering on those who are. Three years ago, we held the first Call of Duty Championship to showcase the dedication and skill of Call of Duty players around the world. Since then, eSports has become a global phenomenon with more than 120 million people watching online competitive gaming each year and Call of Duty continues to lead as the top console eSports franchise in the world.”
