The Call of Duty World League is a Call of Duty eSports league that began in January 2016.[1] It is played on Call of Duty: Black Ops III for Playstation 4 and acts as a qualifier for the pre-existing, annual Call of Duty Championship. There will be two divisions of play, a Professional division and an Amateur division, with the top teams of both qualifying for the championships. A total of $3 million USD of prize money will be given out.[2] The league was originally slated to begin on January 5 but was delayed a week for "issues beyond our control", some of which may have stemmed from the previous night's Playstation Network outage.[3] The COD World League official kicked off on January 13.[4]
