Call of Duty League Challengers Schedule and $1m event prizing announced Call of Duty LeagueThe Call of Duty League has laid out its roadmap for the first season of Call of Duty Challengers, the amateur series of events, with a $1 million prize pool across the year. With multiple tournaments spread throughout the season \u2013 including at both Call of Duty League and Challengers-only events \u2013 Call of Duty is aiming to give its amateur players more incentive to compete, and a better chance at making a living from the esport. The roadmap features three major Challengers events, as well as details on the smaller $2k tournaments at weekends and when each CDL\/Challengers-only event will be, including a huge tournament to see off the season. Although certain information was already available to us \u2013 the 2k tournaments, CDL event weekends and Launch Weekend prize pool \u2013 the announcements of a big mid-season event and the tournament on Championship Weekend were news to the community. During an unannounced league weekend in Summer 2020, Challengers will be provided a $250,000 prize pool and 25,000 points to fight for, the same as were available at the CDL Launch Weekend in Minnesota. Not only that, but there will be a $500,000 Challengers tournament in the summer over Championship weekend, where pro teams will also be battling it out for the lion share of their $6 million prize pool. https:\/\/twitter.com\/CODLeague\/status\/1224814891082698754 The $1 million total prize pool is an impressive figure and shows increasing support for the amateur scene, with the Call of Duty League\u2019s Jack Felling saying that he\u2019s \u201creally proud of the program\u201d and says that they\u2019re \u201cone of the few (only?) [franchised leagues] to support massive open bracket amateur events.\u201d I\u2019m really proud of this program.
