Activision Blizzard is facing a $680 million lawsuit accusing it of monopolistic practices related to its Call of Duty esports league.
Hector “H3CZ” Rodriguez, CEO of OpTic Gaming, is suing Activision Blizzard for alleged monopolistic practices regarding the publisher’s Call of Duty esports league. Rodriguez — whose company owned and operated the Call of Duty League’s OpTic Texas team — and now-retired OpTic player Seth “Scump” Abner are seeking $680 million in damages.
One of the examples in the suit described how, in 2020, players were required to sign an agreement binding them to the League’s rules without the ability to have players’ counsel review them — at the risk of being kicked from their team just days before the League was scheduled to start. Activision Blizzard has been accused of anticompetitive behavior regarding its esports leagues before.
