Call of Duty World League Championships heading to Orlando

The Call of Duty World League Championship is heading to the East Coast, with confirmation that this year's competition is taking place at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida, between August 9 and 13. There the top 32 teams will scrap it out for a share of the $1.5 million USD prize pool.

Stage 1 of the Pro League is ongoing (so far Team EnVyUs (NA), Splyce (EU), Mindfreak (APAC), Evil Geniuses (NA), FaZe Clan (NA), and Rise Nation (NA) have all booked their places in Orlando), and will continue with the following teams among those set to compete:

• eUnited, Luminosity Gaming, Millenium, Epsilon (May 5 and 7)
• OpTic Gaming, Red Reserve, Enigma6 Group, Elevate (May 12 and 14)
• Playoffs of the top eight teams (May 21 and 23)

"The CWL 2017 season is already shaping up to be the biggest one yet," Activision's Rob Kostich said. "The live events all over the world, including Atlanta, Dallas, Las Vegas, Paris and Sydney have been incredible, and the Global Pro League has already featured intense match ups with teams going after the big Stage 1 prize purses. So, the CWL Champs in August becomes even more fitting as the culmination of the best that Call of Duty esports has to offer this year. We can't wait for Orlando."
