According to recent rumors, Washington Esports Ventures, which is the parent company of the Washington Justice, has ended discussions that would see the organization acquire NRG Esports’ Call of Duty League slot. This information was first reported by Twitter user “Unscriipted” and later confirmed by Jacob Wolf of Dot Esports.

Intel: Washington Esports Ventures is OUT on the CDL, will not be pursuing the vacant spot currently owned by NRG. The CDL is looking for a replacement, but as things currently stand, there is a greater than 0% chance that the league goes on with 11 teams this year.
