Last night, a few professional Call of Duty <\/em>players got together for the first episode<\/a> of a new podcast\u2014and it was everything CoD <\/em>esports fans could’ve hoped for.<\/p>
Anthony “NAMELESS” Wheeler, one of the most tenured veterans in the competitive Call of Duty <\/em>community, debuted The CoDCast <\/em>live on Twitch<\/a> Tuesday night. Fellow professional players Jordan “JKap” Kaplan, Austin “SlasheR” Liddicoat, Renato “Saints” Forza, and Daniel “Loony” Loza joined NAMELESS as guests for this inaugural episode.<\/p>
The pros wasted no time, immediately starting their hour-and-a-half long discussion by talking about FaZe Clan winning the CWL Pro League Stage One Playoffs<\/a>. They also talked a lot about rostermania<\/a> and yesterday’s major update<\/a> to WWII<\/em>. NAMELESS even introduced an interesting segment called the five fingers of death, where he asked tough questions like who has been the most underwhelming player this year and which pros need to retire.<\/p>
Fewer Call of Duty <\/em>professionals have been streaming or creating YouTube videos recently because they’re focusing on the over $4 million<\/a> prize pool throughout the WWII <\/em>season. With so much money on the line, players don’t want to give their opponents easy access to their in-game strategies by publishing or streaming gameplay.<\/p>
A podcast like this is the perfect way to help fans feel more connected with their favorite players and the Call of Duty <\/em>esports scene as a whole. And as the guys said in the first episode<\/a>, they typically just talk about random CoD<\/em>-related topics every night anyways\u2014so it’s great to see them transitioning these conversations into a podcast for fans to enjoy.<\/p>
