Nine teams have been revealed to be part of Activision\u2019s upcoming Call of Duty League, and player discussions have already started behind the scenes ever since the signing period opened on Tuesday, September 3. eUnited\u2019s GM, whose roster recently claimed the title of the last-ever World League Championship winners, believes the signing window should have been held back, at least until all the franchise teams were confirmed by league organizers. \u201cI don\u2019t know how free agency windows open for a franchise league before all the franchises are even decided? This has happened in multiple games now LOL,\u201d Clerkie said on Twitter. \u201cThe playing field is slanted like crazy.\u201d Read more: OpTic\u2019s Crimsix announces free agency – The main issue eUnited\u2019s backroom is facing is that the confirmed teams already have so much of an advantage over the other teams still patiently waiting to find out if they have been accepted into the new-look competition.

You can sign whoever you want,\u201d he continued. \u201cHey, you four teams who we are still reviewing, if those six teams want your players you\u2019re gonna have to make some hard decisions. LOL. \u201cIf you\u2019re a good owner, you\u2019d obviously let your players go instead of holding them for an unknown reality. But at the same time, the deck is absolutely stacked against the final teams that get in. Competitive integrity is literally out the window.\u201d If you’re a good owner you’d obviously let your players go instead of holding them for an unknown reality.

If the first teams sign all the good players, it will leave an unlevel playing field. \u201cI get the league is under the pressure of teams that are in wanting to get started, and franchising is more than just winning and the games, but wow it\u2019s unbelievable to me that it is considered a fair ecosystem at all,\u201d he said. As things stand, eUnited have shown no indications that they will be participating in the new CDL, although rumors have it that they could be purchased by Lee Zieben, the new owner of the Houston Outlaws Overwatch League team.
