In Call of Duty esports, a dynasty is considered a team or core-group of players that dominates the scene for an extended period of time. Since professional Call of Duty leagues don't maintain an official list of dynasties in Call of Duty history, it is subjective whether a team has achieved a dynasty. However, it's safe to assume the general consensus/criteria on what defines a dynasty is a team or core-group of players winning several offline tournaments across a significantly long period of time, usually across multiple Call of Duty seasons.
