CallOfDutyLeague commissioner on why it's time for a franchised format
Teams will consist of seven to 10 players, and one announcement that quickly caught the eye of fans: Each player will get a minimum base salary of $50,000, along with health care and retirement benefits. Teams also have to award at least 50% of all prize winnings to players. According to Faries, that was a top priority in shaping the new league.
While it’s easy to note the similarities between Overwatch League and the new Call of Duty League, there’s one big inherent difference: When Overwatch League launched in 2017, it was essentially starting from scratch with a whole new game. That’s far from the case with “Call of Duty,” which released its first game in 2003 and has seen several esports iterations over the past decade. Faries said the league hopes to use that to its advantage.
Call of Duty League won’t just be focused on the 12 pro teams, but instead have three tiers: professional, amateur and community . In terms of team ownership, many of the owners in Season 1 have already invested in past “Call of Duty” esports leagues, as well as Overwatch League. Faries pointed to the balance in ownership when it comes to “Call of Duty” experience, Overwatch League and traditional sports when setting up the 12 franchised teams, the slots for which she said were in “high demand.”
