The Major 4 of the Call of Duty League 2022 will take place in New York starting Thursday. The mega-event is organized by the New York Subliners, who have designed a special trophy for the winner. However, after the presentation the day before, Activision banned the award because the look was too cruel.

During the CDL 2022 – Season , no trophies were provided for the Majors, allowing the hosts of the four Majors to create one themselves. Major 1 did not have a trophy yet and the other two mega events had a shield and crown to win. The New York Subliners came up with a special trophy modeled after the Statue of Liberty for CDL 2022 Major 4.

However, the statue's head is split down the middle to reveal a skull. This design doesn't seem to please Activision very much. The creative director of New York Subliners Matt Lucero confirms that the publisher would have rejected the trophy because it would be too cruel. However, the winning team still gets to take the trophy home at the end.

However, it may not be shown during the tournament. The CDL 2022 Major 4 runs from July 14 to 17 at the Kings Theatre in New York. A total of twelve teams will compete there, including Seattle Surge, which emerged victorious at Major 3 in Toronto. There, the team played Atlanta FaZe in the final and won 5:3.
