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.

The whole idea of having people qualify for this over Online and not in person just seems crazy to me. Like Do you know how many people are going to use things like Mods, Booters, and Lag Switches? If if they catch them they ruin the chances if the players who were trying to play legit and since it is a single elimination, you are screwed.

-Sloth Damn now i wish i was pro gamer for that money...


I know what you mean dude! It would be great money.


But is is a lot of work to be a pro player.


And it takes a lot of time to do that work too


Yeah it takes a lot of practice and time. Some players will lose and be very disappointed.


If you lose you shouldn't be disappointed you should just keep practicing and try to win the next event even if it is a lot less money.
