TORONTO — OverActive Media added to its esports portfolio Thursday, acquiring the rights to a Toronto franchise in the new city-based Call of Duty League. OverActive says it is now the only esports organization to own permanent franchises in the world’s three biggest professional esports leagues: League of Legends, Overwatch League and Call of Duty. The first-person shooter game has been contested in the Call of Duty World League, which holds events in several countries. The Call of Duty franchise has cumulative sales of more than 300 million units since it came out in 2003, according to Kotick. An Activision spokeman said the existing Call of Duty World League 2019 season will continue its schedule through July.
