Anaheim will also host the Call of Duty™ Endowment CWL
All-Star game as voted by fans, featuring eight players from each
of the top teams currently competing at the CWL Pro League Stage 2.
As part of the All-Star game celebration, the Call of Duty World

whose aim is to combat veteran unemployment and underemployment by
helping veterans find high-quality jobs after their service.
“We are thankful to CWL for their invaluable partnership, which
only continues to grow,” said Dan Goldenberg, Executive Director of
the Call of Duty Endowment. “Their efforts and donations allow the
Endowment to help many veterans find high-quality careers, which
can be life-altering as they transition back into civilian life. We
want to thank CWL for their continued support, without which we
would not be on track to meet our goal of placing 50,000 veterans
into meaningful employment by the end of 2019.”
Fans can watch the broadcast action online on MLG.com/CallofDuty
and Twitch.tv/CallofDuty. Matches will also be available to watch
