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.

Axe I didn't even know people still play this game competitively, and people actually watch it.

I find competitive gaming extremely boring to watch.
I agree. It seems so pointless to me...


I agree... They get paid for being good at a game..... I know some who are better than people who play pro and get 0 recognition..


Actually lots of people play competitively and I really enjoy watching it.

UMF Competitive COD is stupid. There's thousands of better players out there than these "pros"


You don't have to be considered 'Pro' there's qualifiers around the world to get into COD Champs, so anyone has a chance




Kex Who takes part in these? Any youtubers?


If I'm correct, some youtubers and professional teams do.

WeAreAnonym0us Wish I could attend this but sadly I can't afford it.


I am in the same boat as you here. I think competitive events such as this would be great to attend, yet i always don't have enough money/live too far away
