Dot Esports has reached out to Activision Blizzard for comment on the potential loss of sponsors but has not received a response at time of publication.<\/p>

The CDL’s MVP award, previously sponsored by ASTRO Gaming, has also seemingly been renamed on the website. Formerly known as the “MVP Award powered by ASTRO,” it’s now simply known as the “Call of Duty <\/em>League MVP.” ASTRO’s branding is nowhere to be found.<\/p>
