Warzone adds giant trophy at Stadium to honor CDL champions Dallas Empire Activision \/ ULT EsportsDallas Empire, the first-ever champions of the Call of Duty League, are receiving a giant monument in Warzone to honor their 2020 championship season, complete with a massive CDL trophy right in front of Verdansk Stadium. When Dallas Empire beat Atlanta FaZe to be crowned champions of the Call of Duty League\u2019s inaugural season, Activision celebrated with a massive display of fireworks above Verdansk Stadium in Warzone. Now, following the release of Verdansk \u201984 \u2013 a throwback version of the map that\u2019s gone back in time \u2013 Empire are getting a more permanent monument to honor their achievements in 2020. In front of the new, smaller version of Stadium, a massive CDL trophy is being added, with plaques along its base that read \u2018Dallas Empire 2020 champions\u201d along with the team\u2019s official logo. All of this will officially go live in Warzone on May 10. Behind the trophy, along the outside wall of what would normally be the arena\u2019s entrance, five banners are also being added that each feature a player from the championship roster, along with their gamertags. Dallas Empire 2020 championship roster Indervir \u2018iLLeY\u2019 Dhaliwal – Ian \u2018Crimsix\u2019 Porter – James \u2018Clayster\u2019 Eubanks – Anthony \u2018Shotzzy\u2019 Cuevas-Castro – Cuyler \u2018Huke\u2019 Garland – Those of you who keep up with the CDL will know that only three of those players are currently playing for Empire. Clayster was dropped after being the odd man out when the league announced a return to the classic 4v4 format, while Huke was surprisingly benched and transferred to LA Thieves midway through the 2021 campaign. At this point, it\u2019s not clear what Activision and the CoD League are planning for this year\u2019s Championship celebrations in Warzone, if there are any plans at all. As mentioned above, last year\u2019s Champs featured fireworks above Stadium, while the entire Grand Final was also broadcast inside the arena. We could see something similar for this season\u2019s finale, and with the Empire being permanently commemorated in-game, it seems logical that the 2021 champions will also get something similar. Either the current monument will be replaced with the next team\u2019s name and players, or another giant trophy and four more banners will be added after this season concludes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
