College CoD gets boost following eFuse acquisition eFuseEsports tournament organizers and discovery platform eFuse have made their first-ever acquisition, bringing collegiate Call of Duty company College CoD under their wing. Over the past couple of years, eFuse have evolved from a gaming-focused social platform to being a launchpad and discovery tool for amateur, semi-pro, and collegiate gamers through events and initiatives. From providing job listings and scholarships to hosting events as part of their \u2018eRena\u2019 series, eFuse are aiming to bridge the gap between budding players and industry professionals. Following the acquisition by eFuse, College CoD will have more resources than ever before. The collegiate Call of Duty esports league was previously run by volunteers but now have dedicated full-time staff and a legion of freelancers at their disposal.

The upcoming season of College CoD will have a guaranteed prize purse of $25,000 and will be bolstered by being integrated with their new parent company\u2019s existing technology, platform, and audience.
