More Than 175 Teams from Around the World
will Clash in $200,000 Competition February 10-12
The Call of Duty World® League Presented by PlayStation®4 (CWL)
continues the 2017 season as the Call of Duty competition heads to
Atlanta for a share of a $200,000 prize pool, and one more
important step toward the CWL Championship. Starting today, the
world’s best, including talented European teams, will face off at
the CWL Atlanta Open, hosted by MLG, February 10-12 at Georgia
World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA.
Today will feature the beginning of competition and more than
160 expected teams in the open bracket, one of the largest Call of
Duty open brackets ever. The additional 16 teams in Championship
pool play will feature the top teams from North America and Europe
based on CWL Pro Points. The event will allow the top open bracket
teams to move on toward Championship Pool play. On Sunday, the
final teams will compete for the coveted title of CWL Atlanta Open
Champion and their share of the $200,000 prize pool.
Championship pool play will feature major teams from around the
world battling for the top prize. Rise Nation, winners of the CWL
Open at MLG Vegas in December will be the overall favorites against
Orbit, recent winners of CWL London, and Team EnVyUs, winners of
the 2016 CWL Championship at Call of Duty XP.
For those interested in attending, General Admission (GA),
tickets are only $49.99 for all three days of competition.
The tickets will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis at
the Georgia World Congress Center.
The CWL Atlanta Open marks the second North American LAN event
for this season of the CWL. In addition to competing for the event
prize pool, teams will also compete for coveted CWL Pro Points.
These points will determine who takes part in the inaugural CWL
Global Pro League taking place live at the MLG Arena in Columbus,
Ohio, beginning in April, with an eye toward eventually qualifying
for the CWL Championship later this year.
Call of Duty World League Presented by PlayStation®4 is proud to
partner with Major League Gaming as North American tournament
operator and broadcast partner for the upcoming season. Through
