The Call of Duty Championship is an annual Call of Duty tournament. There are regional tournaments in Asia Pacific, Brazil, Europe, and North America to determine qualification and seeding at the world championships.[1] Players must be at least 18 years of age as of the beginning of the tournament in order to participate.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]

The inaugural tournament was held in 2013 on Call of Duty: Black Ops II for the Xbox 360 and was won by Fariko Impact. Complexity Gaming won the 2014 event.[18]

The 2015 iteration of the event was won by Denial eSports with team consisting of Chris "Replays" Crowder, Dillon "Attach" Price, James "Clayster" Eubanks, and Jordan "JKap" Kaplan.[19]

The 2016 iteration will occur in the Fall, unlike previous ones held in the spring, with a $3 Million dollar prize pool.
