Since the Call of Duty League moved online due to coronavirus, many changes have been made to the format to ensure the professional Call of Duty players don’t cheat and that the matches go smoothly. However, this time has also seen the dismissal of two of the game’s casters.

Benson took to Twitter to announce that he is no longer employed by Activision and the Call of Duty League. However, he was very vague about the reasons for his departure from his casting position. In his tweet, Benson mentioned that he couldn’t say any details about his stepping down due to advice from legal council, and though he says that this should tell fans “everything,” it raises more questions than it answers. Benson also said that the past week has been the best of his life and that he will provide fans more information around the situation as soon as he can.
This tweet has started a lot of discussion in the Call of Duty League community as fans attempt to figure out what may have happened to cause Benson to leave the organization. Some fans have theorized that he and Momo may have been fired for similar reasons. Momo was the first caster to be fired in the past two weeks, and he was let go due to sexual assault allegations that have been made against him. However, this reason doesn’t make sense alongside Benson’s Tweet. Call of Duty League PR has not made a statement about the firings of the two casters.
Fans of the Call of Duty League will have to wait for more information to come out before they can truly understand what’s currently going on. Until then, they can look forward to the Call of Duty League Championships which have been leaked to be happening on the last weekend in August.
