JoeWo believes competitive Warzone 2 could be \u201cway bigger\u201d than the CDL Infinity WardJoeWo doesn\u2019t have much faith in Warzone 2 ever becoming a competitive title, but if it did, he believes it would surpass the CDL. The Call of Duty League moved from YouTube to Twitch for the 2023 season, and the transition worked wonders. CDL Major 2 attracted more viewers than almost every other CoD esports event in history, reaching a peak viewer count of over 300,000 between the mainstream and watch parties. Competitive CoD also received a major boost with the introduction of Ranked Play. Modern Warfare 2 Twitch viewership numbers skyrocketed, increasing by over 4.2 million in total hours watched. CharlieINTEL reported MW2 surpassed Warzone 2 viewership. WZ2 is finally receiving a ranked mode, and JoeWo claimed it would be more popular than the CDL under the right circumstances. JoeWo and Fifakill discuss the future of competitive Warzone Call of Duty hosts the annual World Series of Warzone event and sporadically hosts LAN tournaments such as the C.O.D.E Bowl, but there isn\u2019t an official franchised league like the CDL. Warzone 2 competitive player Fifakill and JoeWo debated whether or not the battle royale could ever be a successful esport. Warzone 2 also added custom servers in the Season 2 update, allowing competitive players to host wager tournaments. A competitive mode could open the door for casual players to take their game to the next level, but JoeWo doesn\u2019t necessarily see it that way. \u201cI came to the competitive conclusion that this game will never be a truly competitive game at all or ever.\u201d Fifakill chimed in, \u201cI think the biggest problem with Warzone competitive is they don\u2019t want it to take away from the CDL.\u201d Joe agreed, arguing, \u201cI guarantee it would be way bigger.\u201d Feef added, \u201cIf Warzone had a league like the CDL did, all of the CDL players would just play Warzone anyways.\u201d It will be interesting to see if Warzone 2 undergoes a similar boost in competitive interest when the ranked mode eventually releases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
