When is CDL London? A look ahead to London Royal Ravens’ home series
Copper Box Arena/London Royal Ravens/ActivisionWith Activision’s Call of Duty League Launch Weekend action all wrapped up, we look ahead to the next competitive event in Modern Warfare: CDL London.
Call of Duty League’s inaugural season got off to an explosive start, as Minnesota RØKKR hosted all 12 professional teams to kickstart the campaign.
Plenty of stories emerged, but ultimately it was Atlanta FaZe and Chicago Huntsmen who came out on top after only dropping one map across two series.
