Scump pitches \u2018perfect\u2019 Call of Duty League format for 2021 and beyond Call of Duty League[jwplayer N1RFqG2Z]Nearing the end of the inaugural Call of Duty League (CDL) season, Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner has expressed his disappointment in the current format and outlined exactly what he\u2019d change for 2021 and beyond. CDL Home Series events bring eight of 12 franchise teams together across three days of competition. Players battle it out for bragging rights and prize money, along with all-important CDL points. With just one regular-season tournament remaining before the playoff bracket begins, players have grown tired with the state of the League. While the shift to online certainly hasn\u2019t helped, and controversial rulings leave a lot to be desired, Scump believes the current format itself is in desperate need of change. The Chicago Huntsmen star argued that the current structure \u201csucks\u201d during a July 20 Twitch stream. \u201cI want to play more CoD,\u201d he said. \u201cIf you win every match at a Home Series you play four matches in three days.\u201d When asked how he would improve the structure to ensure more game-time for every team, Scump pitched a format that will be familiar to long-time fans. One that aligns perfectly with how the Call of Duty World League used to play out. \u201cFor next year\u2026this is hopeful but I want it to expand to 16 teams and every team be at every tournament,\u201d he outlined. \u201cThere would be pool play at every tournament,\u201d meaning that rosters would have to earn their spot in bracket play. With hopes for 16 franchise teams in 2021, it would lend to a perfectly even playing field for \u201cfour pools of four teams.\u201d No different from the former competitive CoD structure before the League began, the top two teams would then \u201ccome out into a double-elimination, eight-team bracket.\u201d Throughout the course of an event of this scope, there would be far more potential for exciting storylines to emerge. Having every team at every event would truly establish who the best is. Not just that, it would allow pros to \u201cplay more matches,\u201d which is something Scump desperately wants to see for the next season. CDL teams are just weeks away from their most important matchups of the year. The 2020 playoffs begin on August 19 with a $4.6 million prize pool on the line. The top two seeds from the regular season advance straight through to the winner\u2019s semi-finals. Currently fourth in the standings, Scump and the Huntsmen are gunning for a top two finish. The Toronto Home Series rounds out the regular season on July 24.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
