Enable & Pacman expose the truth behind CDL\u2019s \u2018friendship league\u2019 claims Dexerto Are claims that the Call of Duty League is more of a \u2018friendship league\u2019 accurate? Reverse Sweep\u2019s Ian \u2018Enable\u2019 Wyatt and Jonathan \u2018Pacman\u2019 Tucker delve into the rumors and discuss their past experiences navigating the CoD scene. The CDL has been labeled a friendship league right from the very beginning. Rumors and speculation have often pointed towards a scene where players are picked up based on who they know, rather than their individual merit. But is there any truth behind these accusations? Having both competed at the highest level for a number of years, there\u2019s no better duo to answer that question than Enable and Pacman. Together, the Reverse Sweep crew outlined the state of the CDL today, agreeing that it\u2019s certainly not in a \u201chealthy\u201d position. \u201cAs far as I can remember, if your team wasn\u2019t in that contending stage, it seems like there were always people talking behind your back,\u201d Enable explained. Even with his success over the years, he admitted the CoD scene has always been \u201cvolatile.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s one of those things\u2026 it is what it is. It\u2019s very high school cliquey,\u201d he added. \u201cYou obviously need a certain skill set to be in the situation, but people are gonna network, people are gonna throw dirt on your name. That\u2019s just how life is.\u201d Ultimately, that\u2019s been the way of things from the very beginning in CoD, according to Pacman. It may not be changing anytime soon either. \u201cAs long as kids are playing, as long as new and upcoming youth is gonna take over\u2026 This is just how it is,\u201d Pacman said. But what exactly can be done to evolve the CoD scene from its current nepotistic form? It all boils down to management, both Enable and Pacman agreed. \u201cYou need to get the right people that know what they\u2019re talking about,\u201d Enable stressed. \u201cIn Call of Duty, most of these people can\u2019t build a team. \u201cAs this becomes a more professional scene, management has to take a bigger role,\u201d Pacman added. Moreover, age could also play a key role moving forward in CoD as well. Comparing the scene to Valorant and CSGO, Pacman highlighted how the age of talent in the CDL is still fairly young. Perhaps as talent matures and players gain more experience, the notion of a friendship league will fade away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
