Tune in June 6-8th on MLG.tv!
This week, we’ll be witnessing what we hope will become a tradition in eSports history. For the first time ever, Major League Gaming and ESPN are teaming up to bring eSports to the X Games in Austin, Texas.
The MLG Call of Duty: Ghosts tournament will feature the top five Call of Duty teams based on MLG Pro Points, in addition to the top three teams from the Call of Duty Championship held last month in Winter Park, Florida.
The eight teams will compete in a double-elimination group format, with four teams advancing to a single-elimination bracket.
- – Evil Geniuses (formerly CompLexity)
- – Team KaLiBeR
- – Strictly Business
ASTRO Pro Teams:
- – Team EnVyUs
- – OpTic Gaming
- – OpTic NaTion
- – FaZe Red
- – Curse Orange
X Games medals will be awarded to the top 3 winning teams. Naturally, we’ll be rooting especially for our ASTRO Family Pros including the recent addition of Team Curse. Welcome to the family Curse MOB!
