Call of Duty League postpones matches due to Texas power outages

The Call of Duty League has postponed its second week of competition due to the snowstorms and subsequent power outages in Texas that have left some dead and millions without electricity. Instead, the league will combine the second and third weeks of play into a full seven days of play dubbed the Super Week.

It may come as no surprise that 24 CDL players are living in Dallas alone. There’s something in the water, I guess. Anyway, the players need time to prepare and get safely situated, so they’re getting a one-week break. The first weekend of play exceeded its viewership targets, with 131,000 people tuning in to watch the Optic Chicago vs. Atlanta Faze match. A total of 1.4 million hours of match content were watched, and overall live viewership was up nearly 50% from the launch weekend last year.
