Warzone $100k CDL Rebirth tournament already ruined by hackers in day 1 qualifiers
Activision have put together a $100,000 CDL Resurgence tourney, bringing together top Warzone competitors alongside prestigious Call of Duty League talent — but the open qualifiers have kicked off under much scrutiny.
TheCDL Resurgence Warzone tournamenthas two stages of qualification before the main stage on April 24.
While some players will automatically qualify due to their involvement with CDL teams — you would imagine players such as Aydan and Tommey would represent New York Subliners and LA Thieves respectively — many of even the most accomplished players will be fighting through the qualifying playlist.
One of those was Subliners content creator Swish, who said thatthe tournamentis already “chalked” as hackers with fresh accounts run rampant.

She’s not the only one, though. Myst3ry Gaming on Twitter said that he has “never seen more cheaters in my life than I have tonight in the CDL Quads Resurgence Playlist.”
He added that the game was “not even close to being playable.”

It’s unclear whether developers Raven would make a change or some fixes to try and stop the infiltration of hackers into the CDL Resurgence playlist, but there’s not long now before the official qualification stages get underway.
