After making it quite clear they wanted something to improve in some time ago, the community were granted it's wish a few days ago when Vita Nova took it upon themselves to launch a new IRC channel called #cod.academy. Vita Nova will now be hosting a number of 1 night cups throughout the next 2 weeks that will come to a dramatic climax with one lucky team being accepted into #cod.preinvite on a permanent basis.
