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.

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.

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 .


Pretty much this. Competitive gaming takes a pretty high margin of skill

I think we need more money for the championships. So the winners get 1million

You can boost, be against bad players, there is many ways to do get a good KD without skill. But if you want to get it legitimately than yeah it takes some skill

Dorkus I wonder if optic will play in this tournament. They might not be as good since 2 of their best competitive players left the team.


i thought they disbanded o-o but if they go into the championship they will probably get wrecked.
