How to Unlock All Major 1 Rewards

In order to claim the viewership rewards for CDL Major 1, you’ll need to link your Activision & Twitch accounts together. In a change from last year, rewards will only be able to be earned through their Twitch Streams.

Click on the CDL’s Viewership Page.
Sign in to your main Activision account.
Click the “Link Twitch” option through the Link Your Accounts box.
Select Activision and click connect.
Sign in to your Activision ID and link it with your Twitch account.

Twitch also has a handy ‘Connections’ tab on your profile, where you can link your Activision account to your Twitch. All you have to do is select Activision, & follow the instructions from there.

All of the rewards you earn from the CDL Twitch streams, can be unlocked after watching for a select amount of time. The longer you watch CDL on Twitch, the more rewards you’ll earn to use in-game. To earn these rewards, you’ll just need to follow these instructions:

Tune into a CDL stream on a participating Call of Duty Twitch Account.
You’ll be able to track your rewards progress by checking the ‘Drops & Rewards’ tab, or the notification at the top of the twitch chat.
If you haven’t yet, you can link your Activision & Twitch accounts on the rewards page as well. It’s imperative that you keep track of your rewards progress, & claim them as you earn them. That way, you can begin earning progress on the next reward.
