100 Thieves CEO Nadeshot has slammed Call Of Duty League haters who claim Warzone tournaments to be much bigger in the scene.
Activision’s Call Of Duty stands as one of the biggest AAA titles of all time. It shelters thousands of gamers that span their interest across various titles in time. And well, this has helped the competitive scene to skyrocket while inviting the best of the best to showcase their skills. Since 2007, Call Of Duty has run its competitive run hosting million-dollar tournaments for its players.
But as time passed, the COD scene evolved drastically with the introduction of Call Of Duty League and Warzone tournaments. Still, the CDL remained one step ahead of Warzone as its hype was never-ending. However, that did not sit well with some of the pros as they trash-talked on how CDL numbers had dropped and people were not interested in it anymore. So, to help understand how massive and important competitive Call Of Duty was and always will be, Nadeshot sparred some words for these haters.

So that’s 13 years of history here.” Then, he also spoke on how the competitive scene is much bigger than Activision, as it has its own recognition, establishment, and more. So, based on that, Nade believed, “You cannot touch competitive Call of Duty.”
