This year’s Call of Duty Championship will feature the top 32 Call of Duty teams from around the world, all competing to win their share of the $1 million prize purse. Game Informer reported that the majority of the prize pool is “going to the first-place team.”
The 32 teams from five continents, which will be selected from Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America, will be playing Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.
The tournament is scheduled to take place in Los Angeles on March 27-29.
This year’s tournament, which is open to all qualified players, has several eSports organizations such as Major League Gaming (MLG) hosting qualifying events in which teams will compete for their spots in this year’s championship game.
The semi-finals and final match will be streamed live on Xbox Live this Sunday, IGN reported. Activision indicated that it will also be made available via other streaming sources.
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is the latest installment in Activision’s first person shooter (FPS) franchise.
