Blazt Co D — **Blazt** was part of the Los Angeles Guerrillas last season, which unfortunately didn’t go too well for him. With the change from Modern Warfare to Black Ops Cold War, **the size of the teams was reduced to four players and he didn’t get a spot on one of the CDL teams for 2021**, so he announced that he was ending his career as a pro, and is becoming a full-time streamer. **He will mainly stream Warzone in the future**, joining such streaming greats as NICKMERCS, TimTheTatman, and Swagg.

Karma Co D — **Karmo** is known in the CoD scene as the top dog. He is also known to many as the GOAT, as he was the first CoD pro to win three World Championship rings. He is an animal CoD player! After he retired in the spring of 2020, two other pros, CXlayster and Crimsix, were able to secure their respective third world titles. Initially, there were rumors that Karma would return as a coach, but so far they have not been confirmed. **Those who continue to follow him can usually find him streaming Warzone.** (Credit: Dexerto via YouTube)

Enable Co D — **Enable** didn’t start his pro career with CoD, but with Halo. After moving to Call of Duty in 2013, he played for FaZe, OpTic Gaming, and 100 Thieves, among others. Last season he played for Seattle Surge, but sat on the bench most of the time – that might be one of the reasons why he is ending his gaming career. But don’t worry, he’s already rejoined one of his old teams – **in the future, he will be a content creator and curator for 100 Thieves**. So we will see a lot more of him.

Jkap Co D — **Jkap** is also an old CoD hand. He won two world titles and made it to the finals four times. He is considered by many to be one of the best players of all time, and announced his retirement as a player in September. Like Enable, however, we’re not getting rid of Jkap any time soon – unlike Karma, **he’s actually moving into a coaching role**. After being under contract with OpTic Gaming until last year, **he will be coaching the CDL team 100 Thieves in the future**. So, we will see him more often alongside his former colleague Enable.

2020 was an incredibly successful year for the entire Call of Duty franchise. Activision hit the ground running with the release of Warzone in March. In total, the publisher made nearly two billion dollars with Modern Warfare and Warzone in 2020 alone.

Many streamers jumped on the hype train, and switched from games like Fortnite, PUBG, or Apex to Warzone, and with great success! Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the Call of Duty League also did extremely well. Although all matches had to be played online and not all players agreed with that, we still got an exciting Season with the Dallas Empire winning a deserved CDL 2020 Championship.

Despite the great success of Warzone, some professional players did retire in 2020. But don’t worry! They will stay with us in one way or another.
