Since the COVID-19 pandemic, we haven’t seen a return to esports<\/a> LAN events for obvious reasons. However, with vaccinations rolling out across the globe, more and more esports fans are wondering when we will see a return to LAN for major events. Call of Duty<\/a> fans will be happy to know that there’s a good chance the Call of Duty League (CDL) 2021 Stage 4 might see the first return to LAN for their favourite esports. This huge leak\/news comes from an Optic Gaming pre-show.<\/p>\n

CDL 2021 Stage 4: A return to LAN?<\/h2>\n

Speaking during the Optic Gaming pre-show ahead of Optic Gaming Chicago’s match against Los Angeles Thieves, the owner of Optic Gaming revealed that the CDL 2021 Stage 4 could see the first return to a LAN environment.<\/p>\n

Optic Gaming’s boss, Hector “HECZ” Rodriguez, revealed in “The Game Has Changed<\/a>” pre-show that during Stage 4, we will see a return to LAN.<\/p>\n

Hecz comments: “We just got clarity on that. We won’t see a LAN event until the following stage (CDL Stage 4) and then after that, the following stage is the Optic Chicago Homestand.”<\/p>\n

This announcement, however, comes with a caveat. No fans will be allowed for the CDL Stage 4 LAN event.<\/p>\n
