The CDL Kickoff Classic will be broadcast on Jan. 23 and 24 on the official CDL YouTube Channel at YouTube.com/CODLeague. The matches begin on both days at 2pm CT.

The show matches scheduled include Dallas Empire vs. New York Subliners to begin the weekend in a face-off between Clayster and the team he won the inaugural CDL Championship with.

Other matches include OpTic Chicago vs. Los Angeles Thieves where 100 Thieves CEO Nadeshot will undoubtedly be looking to take down the organization that he helped bring much fortune to as a pro player.
