The Paris Legion is a French professional Call of Duty League (CDL) esports team based in Paris, France. Paris Legion is owned by C0ntact Gaming. Paris was announced as one of the first five cities to host a CDL team.[1] According to ESPN, the publisher was looking to sell slots for approximately $25 million per team.[2] Despite being one of the first five cities to join the CDL, the team was the final one to unveil their branding on November 2, 2020.[3]

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare[]
Upon entering the CDL, the team then consisted of the following five man squad: Denz, KiSMET, Louqa, Shockz, and Zed.[4] The team began the season at the bottom of the radar, being looked at as the clear underdogs. Paris immediately responded with upset victories over OpTic Gaming LA and the London Royal Ravens.[5][6]
The team's success did not continue throughout the season however. The team went on to finish the season with a lackluster record of 11–17, as well as an early exit from the playoffs.[7] This poor showing led the team to drop its entire roster. The team went on to pick up the roster listed above with hopes of more success in the upcoming season.
