Ahead of the start of the season, everyone believed that the tournament would stream the live matches on YouTube.

Because that’s been the pattern for a long time now.

However, it was recently announced that Call of Duty League 2023 season will exclusively stream on Twitch, alongside the official tournament website.

Strangely, the makers didn’t mention YouTube at all.

It simply means that viewers who have become habitual of watching CDL on YouTube won’t be able to do that this time.

Twitch is the way to go in case they want to enjoy the matches.

It seems like the fans are definitely not in the favor of Twitch, at all.

After Call of Duty revealed the unexpected news regarding the fresh season, most of the people expressed a disappointing reaction.

They are not happy to see Twitch being the streaming platform for the league.

Most of them have liked watching it on YouTube, due to various reasons.

“Unfortunately I think this is a big L for the CDL, being on YT was so easy especially on mobile when out and about.

They should have streamed on both tbh.

Sorry CDL, I’m not impressed!” wrote one user.
