November’s Ohio eSports event will feature Infinity Ward’s latest first-person shooter; tournament to be played on Xbox 360.
The MLG Championship in Columbus, Ohio, from November 22 to 24 will feature the first-ever Call of Duty: Ghosts tournament. MLG has run Call of Duty: Black Ops II at its championship events this year. The event will be played on Xbox 360.
108 teams will compete in Columbus for $50,000 in prizes, with the winners taking home $20,000. 96 teams will compete in the Open Bracket, while 12 teams will start from the Championship Bracket.
MLG Anaheim Call of Duty Champions Complexity will look to defend their title, moving from Black Ops II to Ghosts. General admission spectator passes are now available for purchase, and competitor passes will be on sale September 30 at 5 p.m. EST.
Previously, MLG revealed that Dota 2 would be featured at the event, also with a $50,000 prize pool. Featured teams include The International 3 Champions and runner-up Alliance and Na’Vi, China superstar team DK, and Evil Geniuses from North America.
“Featuring Dota has been a goal for years and we are so excited that it’s finally happening,” MLG Executive Vice President Adam Apicella told GameSpot. “Valve has done such an incredible job creating Dota 2 and fostering the community with events like the International, we knew we had to introduce the game to the MLG community in a way that complimented their efforts. We worked closely with Valve, monitored the exceptional gameplay by teams around the globe, and conducted a ton of research to build our Fall league structure.”
GameSpot eSports will be at the event providing live coverage all weekend long.
