When is CDL London? A look ahead to London Royal Ravens’ home series
Copper Box Arena/London Royal Ravens/ActivisionWith Activision’s Call of Duty League Launch Weekend action all wrapped up, we look ahead to the next competitive event in Modern Warfare: CDL London.
Call of Duty League’s inaugural season got off to an explosive start, as Minnesota RØKKR hosted all 12 professional teams to kickstart the campaign.
Plenty of stories emerged, but ultimately it was Atlanta FaZe and Chicago Huntsmen who came out on top after only dropping one map across two series.
ActivisionFans are now be looking ahead to the next weekend of action, which will see Call of Duty take a trip across the pond to London.
When is CDL London?
The Call of Duty League invades Europe for the first time, with the second weekend of action emanating from the CopperBox Arena on Saturday, February 8 and Sunday, February 9.
Hosted by the London Royal Ravens as the first of their two 2020 homestands, action will take place across two days (compared to three days for the Launch Weekend in Minnesota). Every team in the league attended RØKKR’s home series, in a bid to earn their first points of the season.
