HECZ cannot own two Call of Duty League teams at the same time

HECZ is currently the CEO of NRG eSports, which owns the Call of Duty team Chicago Huntsmen. If this deal does happen, then HECZ needs to sell one of his team slots. Also, even if the deal is final, Call of Duty League’s approval is necessary for HECZ to continue with this sudden change of ownership in the league.

There are no further details on the future of the current Optic Gaming roster. The real question, however, is who will be the new owner of the LA slot in Call of Duty League. It is no surprise that there are many organizations that are interested in entering the league. Fortunately, the biggest names include Dr Disrespect and Nadeshot. Doc has been teasing about his own CDL team for a while now.

Even on his streams, Dr Disresect has been constantly hinting that he likes the idea of owning a team. In a recent stream, HECZ himself donated $100 to Doc and said that Doc is not too bad for a “could be CDL owner”.

Fans who thought it was a joke may not be laughing now with this report. Everything perfectly adds up to Doc entering the CoD league franchise as an owner. However, these are just reports and HECZ himself is yet to comment on it.

For the fans, this is undoubtedly big news. Optic Gaming might regain a strong position in the league now and that too under the ownership of some of the most renowned people in the community.
