Even though theCall of DutyLeague already announced competitive settingsfor the tournament, players can still implement the Gentlemen’s Agreements too. Recently, Treyarch lead game designer Tony Flame spoke on the matter in a Reddit post directly addressing the Gentlemen’s Agreements for theCall of DutyLeague 2021 season.
Flame explained that Treyarch is working with the pro players to help finalizechanges to theCall of DutyLeague’s ruleset for next year. Flame said that Treyarch and the pro players are experimenting with the different types of competitive rulesets to see what would best suit the competition for players and a live audience. He said players should expect to see more new playtesting, rulesets, experimentation, and updates before theCall of DutyLeague 2021 season arrives.
Flame also said one of the difficulties in making the new rulesets is the element of pro players' streaming, and how some viewers may react to the changes without all the context. However, Flame said Treyarch is drawing on the pro players' experience to help with the matter, and it is looking for new solutions to “solidify the officially sanctioned content” for theCall of DutyLeague esports teams. He added that more details will be revealed next year.
