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.

"Players will compete in Call of Duty: Ghosts on Xbox One" - It will be interesting to see how good they do without their scufs.

Witsel This tournament is going to be good to watch, Optic or nV will take it this year

Here are the prizes
1st Place ($400,000)
2nd Place ($200,000)
3rd Place ($120,000)
4th Place ($100,000)
5th Place (70,000)
6th Place ($50,000)
7th Place ($35,000)
8th Place ($25,000)


There's been a lot of drama with Optic recently.


Yeah but their new roster is looking good

Nadeshot Amazing SMG OBJ with the right teammates
Clay - when his AR shot is on point no one can beat him
Parasite - all round good player can run AR or Sub
Ricky - This guy specializes in snd and it is a gamemode you need to win


Optic will place higher in Cod champs with their new team. I still think coL will win it. Also nV have a lot of fire power with 3 slayers, I think they will be higher.

Kex $1m in prizes is a bit much for winning CoD games ain't it?


first place only gets 400k, their is 1m total in prizes


I find it sad that they get all that money just to play in a video game tournament.


look at football they get a s**t ton of money for kicking a ball


Well...they trained to get on that team and practiced enough in order to play at such a high level just like any player of sports who takes it seriously

Playing a video game for lots of money is no different than playing a sport for lots of money. The only reason you see nothing wrong with sports players making lots of money is because it has been ingrained in everyones mind.


You seem to think I was saying I don't like the idea of a championship or that I think these are a waste of time and these guys are nerds. I was saying the opposite and agreeing with hanman by saying it is just like sports. These guys trained and spent time to get to where they're at.


I was replying to the OG poster. Sorry if you misunderstood.

Reb I don't think COD is played by skill so should have anything like this.
I used to be good at COD due to luck..


I totally disagree with you there is lots of skill involved.


Yeah you need skills to actually get a good K/D. its not just luck .

Im pretty sure competitive player could care less about kd as long as they get the W
