The CMA only issued their block against Microsoft acquiring Activision-Blizzard AFTER their final decision was issued. Since they're saying they're opening up a fresh investigation, it makes me think, is that block now lifted? Because that block only comes after the final decision.

So it's possible Microsoft won't be going over any CMA block right now.

The wildcard is if FTC is granted their emergency stay, they have to be granted it before Friday, the odds are very slim of that happening, if it does then Microsoft can't close, if it doesn't then we'll see if Microsoft has came to an agreement with CMA to allow closure.

I have a feeling they have...
