The 2019 CWL Ruleset Has Been Revealed
By Zac Cameron ·
The first version of the rules for the upcoming CWL season has been announced with several key restrictions in place.
The initial version of the official ruleset for the upcoming CEL season has been revealed. Announced by the Call of Duty World League earlier today, the upcoming map pool and restrictions for competitive play have new been released to the public, with fans now able to see exactly what the pros will be competing under.
“Prior to launch, the CWL worked with a group of pro players to establish the maps used in each mode. Some restrictions represent player feedback, some items remain within the game to allow the meta to evolve over the course of the competition,” wrote the organization in their announcement post. “Treyarch – as not only fans of Call of Duty esports but as the creators of the Black Ops universe – also provided its preferred ruleset for the season. These combined efforts have led to our initial rules.”
