a promotion/relegation system for Call of Duty could help the league imo. long rant inc. 𝟒 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐞𝐬. 𝑪𝘿𝑳 - 16 teams. Only league on PC. Top teams in the world. The current CDL split system. Teams have skins. Bottom 4 teams have to play play-in matches to qualify for the major against the top 4 of the lower division. Winners make it to the next split after the major. 𝑪𝙝𝒂𝙡𝒍𝙚𝒏𝙜𝒆𝙧𝒔 - Another 16 team league. Console. Matches played during the week. Top 4 teams play-in tournament against the bottom 4 CDL teams to qualify for the split and make the top league. Bottom four teams fight to stay in challengers. These 16 teams have top seed in the challengers open during the majors. 𝑨𝙢𝒂𝙩𝒆𝙪𝒓 - 16 teams. Console. Week days. Top four team play-in. Good seeding for challengers open during the major. bottom 4 teams relegate. 𝙊𝒑𝙚𝒏 - Team sign ups. Console. Open tournament on the weekend. Top 4 promoted to amateur league. 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬 - Eyeballs. People want to watch (or watch their favorite pro watch) organized COD. Ease of entry. Small orgs have something to work towards and hope to get screen time to pitch sponsors. Creator run teams have tons of hype behind them (stallions, moist, dsg, etc). Moments. You can see teams work together to start from the very bottom and make it to the league as a unit rather than individuals fighting against a seemingly broken system to replace an individual in the actual league. Tournaments. You have splits, majors, play-ins, and champs to constantly give viewers something to watch. There could also be an “FA Cup” equivalent tournament with a large prize pool yearly. Sponsors. I think would open up the entire league to new sponsorship opportunities in the different leagues. also major console sponsors could return. Streaming rights could be separated again between the different leagues. More potential introduction of spectators. Economy. The player salaries would stabilize in the CDL and maybe would open up small salaries for some of the Challengers players. The rest of the leagues are playing to earn a salary at the start. Who knows what it could build towards. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐢’𝐦 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐟𝐮𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭. 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐭𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲
