"Who Is The King" is an event that emerges from the longstanding rivalry between CDL (Call of Duty League) and Warzone pros within the CoD community. This engaging competition comprises five events that strategically pit both factions against each other, fueling the intensity of their rivalry.
While on break in 2022, CDL pros made a lot of noise by challenging Warzone's greatest players to 1v1 battles.
This year, Activision stepped up and presented its own competition involving Warzone creators and CDL pros. The inclusion of MW2 and WZ2 logos in the announcement suggests that both titles will be incorporated.
The CDL vs. Warzone pros is a heated discussion ongoing in the COD community. This event could finally resolve a fan debate: who is superior between the CDL professional gamer and the Warzone creator?
