C9 is \"in the process of entering into a partnership with the New York Subliners,\" the 2023 CDL champions, according to a report from esports media outlet Sheep Esports. According to the report, this would enable C9 to complete its \"short-term objective\" of competing in the Modern Warfare 3 tournament at the upcoming Esports World Cup. The report claims this partnership would eventually progress to a \"second phase\" where C9 would acquire and merge with the NXYL esports organization that owns the New York Subliners franchise. Mergers are not uncommon in esports in recent years; OpTic and Envy merged in late 2021 to operate the OpTic Texas team in the CDL. If the organization does move forward with the reported acquisition, C9 could be the first of more esports orgs to return to competitive CoD following some well-received changes to the league structure made earlier this year. This past April, the CDL announced that it was waiving and refunding all franchise entry fees, while also providing increased revenue and two-year minimum revenue guarantees. NXYL's founder Farzam Kamel said back then that the new team agreements would \"make participation in CDL far more attractive for any org.\" Currently, the New York Subliners are sitting in fourth place in the 2024 CDL standings heading into Major Four this upcoming weekend. Dot Esports has reached out to C9 for comment. C9 last competed in competitive Call of Duty in 2017 and previously fielded a number of well-known veterans, including ACHES, Priestahh, and Accuracy.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/NY-ATL-CDL-2024-Major-2.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1269572"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/928"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1269572"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1269572\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1269601,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1269572\/revisions\/1269601"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1196104"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1269572"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1269572"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1269572"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1269572"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1269572"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1269572"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1269572"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

C9 is \"in the process of entering into a partnership with the New York Subliners,\" the 2023 CDL champions, according to a report from esports media outlet Sheep Esports. According to the report, this would enable C9 to complete its \"short-term objective\" of competing in the Modern Warfare 3 tournament at the upcoming Esports World Cup. The report claims this partnership would eventually progress to a \"second phase\" where C9 would acquire and merge with the NXYL esports organization that owns the New York Subliners franchise. Mergers are not uncommon in esports in recent years; OpTic and Envy merged in late 2021 to operate the OpTic Texas team in the CDL. If the organization does move forward with the reported acquisition, C9 could be the first of more esports orgs to return to competitive CoD following some well-received changes to the league structure made earlier this year. This past April, the CDL announced that it was waiving and refunding all franchise entry fees, while also providing increased revenue and two-year minimum revenue guarantees. NXYL's founder Farzam Kamel said back then that the new team agreements would \"make participation in CDL far more attractive for any org.\" Currently, the New York Subliners are sitting in fourth place in the 2024 CDL standings heading into Major Four this upcoming weekend. Dot Esports has reached out to C9 for comment. C9 last competed in competitive Call of Duty in 2017 and previously fielded a number of well-known veterans, including ACHES, Priestahh, and Accuracy.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/NY-ATL-CDL-2024-Major-2.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1269572"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/928"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1269572"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1269572\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1269601,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1269572\/revisions\/1269601"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1196104"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1269572"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1269572"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1269572"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1269572"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1269572"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1269572"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1269572"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
