Activision reportedly considering mandate that would force OWL CDL franchises to unify

Activision Blizzard is reportedly showing interest in the idea of forcing organizations fielding teams in the Call of Duty League (CDL) and Overwatch League (OWL) to unify their brands under one name across both leagues.

Activision Blizzard esports executives have been actively discussing a mandate that would force teams to unify their brands, according to report by Dexerto’s Jacob Hale. Hale speculates that this could potentially be a reason behind a reported move that would send the Seattle Surge to Vancouver, where fellow Enthusiast Gaming-owned franchise the Vancouver Titans are located.
