- Nothing pvp specific that I saw
MLG Stadium is closing - https://esportsobserver.com/adam-apicel-exits-activision/
- “MLG Arena was essential to the production of weeks of CWL Pro League play each season in our history. The evolution to a home and away format for events during the 2020 Call of Duty esports season means the MLG Arena is no longer required; therefore, we’re respectfully closing the production facility.”
- This also ended the MLG Arena in Columbus as the AWC LAN location.
