Activision Blizzard has announced TeamSpeak as its Official Broadcast Communications supplier for the Call of Duty League (CDL). 

TeamSpeak’s technology is already used for all Call of Duty League’s production communications, and its platform will now be integrated to be used for matches through to the end of the 2023 season.

The partnership will also see Activision Blizzard and TeamSpeak collaborate on a global digital marketing campaign, incorporating social and online brand sponsorships and community initiatives. In-venue activations and sweepstakes are also planned for when live homestand events return after the COVID-19 crisis has passed. 

Discussing the partnership VP of Global Partnership Development at Activision Blizzard Esports, Jack Harari, said:

“TeamSpeak offers best-in-class broadcast communications capabilities that we rely on to empower and optimize our teams and players. We have an obvious advantage entrusting TeamSpeak to provide this critical part of our operations in highly competitive environments where seamless voice communications are critical to successful broadcasts of live competition.”

While CEO of TeamSpeak, Ian Bamford, added:

“Working with the Call of Duty League is a strong indicator of the continued adoption of our technology as the solution of choice among the leading competitive leagues and teams worldwide. Our technology ensures seamless in-game communications for every scenario, whether all-virtual, or for live, in-person events.”

AYO.NEWS says:

In professional matches clear low latency communication with teammates can make the difference between victory and defeat, so choosing the right communications platform is critical. 

TeamSpeak’s Tournament Edition (TST) has already been adopted by Overwatch League and iRacing, and proven itself more than capable of meeting the demanding requirements of high intensity pro play, so we expect it will be successful in Call of Duty League too. 

Staying with TeamSpeak, in April we reported the company had appointed Kent Wakeford, Vice Chairman and Co-founder of esports organisation Gen.G, to its board of advisors.
