The Call of Duty <\/em>League (CDL) announced today that you’ll soon be able to earn in-game rewards, or “drops,” for watching CDL broadcasts, and the Overwatch<\/em>League appears to be teasing that drops are on the way as well. The announcement follows Activision Blizzard and YouTube’s multiyear deal announced in January that made the Google-owned video platform the exclusive streaming partner for Activision’s esports leagues.<\/p>\n

To earn the rewards, you’ll have to watch live matches on the CDL website or the Call of Duty<\/em> Companion app while logged into your Activision account, according to a CDL blog post. The rewards will include team emblems, sprays, and animated calling cards, and they’ll be cross-platform.<\/p>\n

There aren’t any specific details just yet about what may be coming for Overwatch League<\/em>, but here’s the tweet teasing that some kind of rewards are the way for its matches on Friday:<\/p>\n
