Beyond the Main Stage: SOTA Serves Las Vegas During CDL Champs
The Call of Duty League Championship brings together the best players, organizations, creators, and fans from around the world to celebrate competitive gaming. But for Stay On The Attack (SOTA), championship weekend has always represented something bigger than the competition itself.
Wherever gaming brings us, we look for opportunities to give back.

While attending CDL Champs in Las Vegas, Team SOTA partnered with Three Square Food Bank to serve the local community by volunteering at their distribution center. Before the lights, the matches, and the excitement of championship weekend, our volunteers spent the day helping families experiencing food insecurity across Southern Nevada.
Together, our team packed 720 shelf-stable food boxes for Three Square's Childhood Nutrition Program—an effort that equated to 13,000 pounds of food and approximately 11,000 meals for children and families in need.
It's a powerful reminder that the impact of the gaming community doesn't have to end when the tournament does.

Since opening in 2007, Three Square has distributed more than 528 million pounds of food while serving over 341,000 people throughout Southern Nevada. Their mission is made possible by thousands of volunteers who dedicate their time to ensuring families have access to nutritious meals. We were honored to stand alongside them, even for just one day.
Following the activation, the Three Square team shared a heartfelt message thanking our volunteers for their passion and commitment. While we're grateful for the recognition, the real reward is knowing that every box packed represents a family that won't have to wonder where their next meal is coming from.
This is what "Gaming with a Purpose" looks like.
SOTA was founded on the belief that gaming has the power to unite people far beyond a screen. Tournaments create unforgettable moments. Communities create lasting change. By combining the passion of esports with opportunities to serve, we're showing that gamers aren't just competitors—they're leaders, volunteers, neighbors, and changemakers.
As we continue traveling to gaming events across the country, our goal remains the same: leave every city better than we found it. Whether we're organizing food, supporting local shelters, or creating volunteer opportunities around major esports events, we're committed to proving that gaming can be one of the greatest forces for good.

To everyone who volunteered alongside us in Las Vegas, thank you. Your time, energy, and willingness to serve helped provide thousands of meals to families who need them most.
The matches may determine a champion.
But serving others is always a victory.
