Minnesota CoD franchise reveal name and logo for Call of Duty League The Minnesota franchise for the upcoming Call of Duty League starting in 2020 have officially unveiled their name as the Minnesota R\u00d8KKR and revealed a first look at their logo and branding. Having already announced much of their roster, which features world champions Justin \u2018SiLLY\u2019 Fargo and Adam \u2018Assualt\u2019 Garcia, all that was left for Minnesota was to officially confirm their name. Unfortunately, many of teams\u2019 announcements were spoiled after a leak from the Call of Duty League website revealed team names for all twelve brands. On October 29, R\u00d8KKR confirmed their unorthodox name, a term from Norse mythology which translates to \u2018Twilight\u2019, and is often related to the battle of Ragna\u00f6k \u2013 \u201cThe Twilight of the Gods\u201d In an interview with Esports Insider, WISE Ventures esports COO Brett Diamond explained that the logo represents a \u201cmysterious helmeted figure emerging from the shadows.\u201d The franchise is also backed by Gary Vaynerchuk, who joined as an investor in July.

Their announcement follows that of Florida Mutineers, Toronto Ultra, New York Subliners, Dallas Empire, London Royal Ravens, Atlanta FaZe, Los Angeles OpTic, and Los Angeles Guerrillas. We\u2019re still waiting on official confirmation for the Chicago, Seattle and Paris franchises. Minnesota\u2019s roster is a mix of young talent and experienced veterans, as we have seen on a number of lineups. The likes of SiLLY, who has been competing since the very first Modern Warfare released in 2007, is the most experienced on the roster, while the likes of Asim and TTinyy will only be entering their second year of competing at the professional level.
