Second official Call of Duty Championship set for March

Activision to host 32 teams competing for $1m in prizes

Activision will host its second Call of Duty Championship from March 28 to 30 in Los Angeles, the publisher announced Thursday.

The championship will draw 32 teams from around the world to compete for a total of $1 million in prize money. Players will compete in Call of Duty: Ghosts on Xbox One, with qualifying events in leading months held online and in person by international eSports organizations.

Regional tournaments and the finals will be broadcasted live on MLG.tv from late February through March.

Team Fariko Impact took home $400,000 USD in prize money after besting EnVyUs at last year's championship, which was also held in Los Angeles with a $1 million prize pool.

Infinity Ward has promised several impending adjustments to the game meant to improve its competitive play experience. The studio said Ghosts' spawning system is a particular area of development focus aside from thwarting cheaters and rebalancing weapons.

I think again this is Complexity's tournament to take at this moment, I think if OpTic practise a lot with Ricky, Clay and Parasite then they will get Top 5, i can also see Curse LV and nV finishing high, but tK dropping a bit.

Australians It's hard to believe gaming can earn you so much money, it's probably what motivates MLG enthusiasts.


And most these mlg people dont even get anywhere haha. You have to have money to begin with and NO life at all.

Well just think how much money each year CoD brings in. Every 1 in 3 10 year old owns a CoD game, average $90 AUD every year, thats big bucks so they "give" back to the community with these tournaments. Halo 2 days were the SHIT!
