"Microsoft's Ongoing Impact: Layoffs and Cancellations at Activision Blizzard"

Activision Blizzard has reportedly laid off a significant portion of its esports team just days after the Call of Duty League's Boston Breach Major I event, with former employees expressing frustration on social media. The company has not officially commented on the layoffs, but sources suggest that the esports division is not shutting down entirely, but rather undergoing changes to align with a new business model. The exact number of layoffs is unknown, but it's rumored that only about a dozen people remain on the esports team within the company.
