Amidst the mega Call of Duty rostermania sweeping the scene days after the 2024 Esports World Cup wrapped, CDL 2025 may have just lost its first team.
Reports are today indicating Vegas Legion will shut down, making way for the Saudi-backed Falcons to join the league. The surprise news was first reported by Breaking Point on X (formerly Twitter) on Aug. 19. It’s believed the team won’t just be released either: Breaking Point added Legion “as an organization will no longer exist” heading into 2025, with support staff also allegedly out of a job. If true, it’s a somber end to one of CDL’s launch orgs that struggled to leave its mark on the league in its near-five-year stint.
