Nadeshot and Dr Disrespect criticize Call of Duty League after Halo Championship Series set records on its return
The Halo Championship Series in Rayleigh has got record-breaking return numbers as a lot of fans and players are watching their favourite teams compete in the tournament. After seeing its successful return, Matthew “Nadeshot” Haag, the co-owner and CEO of 100 Thieves, expressed his disappointment with the Call of Duty League on Twitter. He talked about how Vanguard and the Call of Duty esports took a backstage due to mismanagement.
Many thoughts swirling around while watching the Halo kick off tournament…
– Open bracket events are pivotal for an aspirational culture for amateur players
– 3 months between release of Vanguard & the 1st major tournament in the CDL is one of the biggest mistakes imaginable

Along with Nadeshot, even Dr Disrepect, who is known for his FPS streams, talked about how Call of Duty was able to dethrone Halo in the esports scene with the release of Black Ops 2 almost ten years before. Many more people have expressed that the launch of a fresh Call of Duty League just after the release of Vanguard would have attracted more people to the game. This would have helped to develop a community of diehard fans who come to see the competitiveness and not just to plug in and play.
With so many past Call of Duty players pointing out the hiccups, it remains to see if Activision will do something to appease the current community.
