Scump & Methodz worried CDL could be trying to \u201csoft launch\u201d full YouTube switch YouTube: OpTic Audio Network\/Call of Duty LeagueFormer Call of Duty League pros Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner and Anthony \u2018Methodz\u2019 Zinni have revealed their concerns with the CDL\u2019s announcement that it will stream on both Twitch and YouTube going forward, suggesting it could be a move to go to YouTube permanently. In February, Dexerto reported that the Call of Duty League was in talks with YouTube over a renewed three-year exclusivity deal, similar to what had been in place for the first three seasons of the CDL. The report was widely met with anger from fans, especially due to the increasing success of the CDL on Twitch this season, with watch parties from the likes of Scump and Thomas \u2018ZooMaa\u2019 Paparatto amassing thousands of extra viewers. Because of that, Major 3 saw the CDL earn its highest viewership ever. Following weeks of speculation online from fans, the CDL announced on Thursday, April 6, that fans are now able to watch the league on YouTube as matches will be streamed on both platforms starting from April 7. While the news has left many fans excited, Scump and Methodz aired their concerns about the move. \u201cThe one thing I hope that doesn\u2019t happen from that, I hope that this isn\u2019t them trying to make peace with the community,\u201d Scump said. \u201cTrying to make it seem like they\u2019re on the community\u2019s side, then [make] a full switch to YouTube.\u201d Methodz agreed, saying that it\u2019s \u201cLike a soft launch. They\u2019re soft-launching YouTube,\u201d he said, with Scump echoing that sentiment, adding that they could be \u201cbuttering us up.\u201d Whether this is actually the case remains to be seen, but it will be interesting for fans, players, and the league itself to see what the YouTube viewership looks like throughout Major 4, especially for the crowning LAN event in Columbus, Ohio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
