The premier event in the calendar of competitive Call of Duty has arrived with the Call of Duty League Championships, which runs from Thursday, July 18 to Sunday, July 21.
Eight teams qualify for the Champs, each with four players. Here are the qualifiers:
The teams that did not qualify included the Las Vegas Legion and Boston Breach. There’s no time to dwell on this, however, as preparations for the Esports World Cup have already begun for many.
Friday’s matches are happening from noon PST, with four games during the day.
Further matches will occur on Saturday, beginning at noon PST and going on until the evening. Sunday will see the grand finals taking place at noon PST.
The tournament uses a double-elimination format, which means a team needs to lose twice to be eliminated from contention. One loss sees them dropping down into the Loser’s bracket. The grand finale will consist of one team that has not lost a single match and one team that has ‘won’ the loser’s bracket and has one loss on their score sheet.
The current bracket shows that four teams are currently sitting at one loss. Two of these will be eliminated by the end of Friday’s matches.
The interactive bracket can be found on the League’s website.
Call of Duty is one of the highest-paying eSports games of all time, so these matches are likely to be high-intensity and exciting. If you can’t make it to LA to see the games in person, they are all live-streamed on the Call of Duty League YouTube channel.
