Oxygen Esports, the operator of several esports teams including the Call of Duty League's Boston Breach, is laying off its entire staff and ceasing operations altogether, a new report has revealed.
2 COD PROS vs. 4 ROCKET LEAGUE PROS
The report, from Dexerto's Jacob Hale, cites multiple sources saying the company is exiting the competitive gaming scene. Oxygen is best known for partnering with New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft's company in 2021, after originally founding in 2020.
According to its website, Oxygen has fielded teams in VALORANT, Rocket League, Rainbow Six, and ENascar, but is best known for fielding one of the twelve teams in Activision's CoD League when the Boston Breach entered the CDL in 2022.
According to Hale, Boston Breach players have been notified that they “will no longer have access to the Helix facility and will be out of their apartments on August 8th,” which is just days before they are scheduled to fly to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for the Esports World Cup Modern Warfare 3 tournament. Boston’s current CoD lineup consists of Snoopy, Cammy, Owakening and Purj after the organization made three roster cuts last month following a last-place finish in the 2024 CDL season. The Breach posted a 6-27 series record on the year, five fewer wins than the next-closest team in the standings.
