📝 Black Ops 7 CDL Major I: Overview & Strategy
The Call of Duty League returns to Dallas as OpTic Texas hosts the first Major of the 2026 season. While the pros battle for a $365,000 prize pool, viewers can secure a massive haul of “Black Ops 7” loot just by tuning in. This event marks a high-stakes transition into the new competitive cycle, featuring the debut of the “Overload” game mode on the big stage. For fans, the primary draw is the “Neon Grudge” Peacekeeper MK1, a legendary-tier blueprint that is expected to dominate the early-season meta.
To maximize your efficiency, you don’t actually need to be glued to the screen for every single match. The rewards are time-gated per day, meaning you can leave the official Twitch or YouTube stream running in the background while you go about your day. Since the “Neon Grudge” is locked behind the Championship Sunday broadcast, make sure your notification bells are on for February 1st. Helix Pro-Tip: Use the Twitch mobile app on “Audio Only” mode if you’re on the move to keep racking up those minutes without burning through your data plan.
