How do you get the CDL Major 5 Twitch?

To start earning the CDL Major 5 Twitch Drops in MW2, you must first link your Twitch account with your Activision account. With your two accounts linked, tune into the CDL Major 5 on Twitch.tv/CallofDuty to start earning credit toward the Viewership Rewards.

If you'd prefer to watch the action unfold on YouTube, you can earn the CDL Major 5 Viewership Rewards there too. To do so, you must link your YouTube account with your Activision account. Once you get your accounts linked, watch CDL Major 5 on the COD League YouTube Channel while signed in with your linked account to begin earning the Viewership Rewards.

Unlike Twitch, YouTube does not let you track your progress on Drops. So, you must approximate your watch time and check in-game on MW2 once you think you've watched enough to earn the rewards!
