The final event of the Call of Duty: WWII esports season is almost here: The 2018 Call of Duty World League Championship, presented by PlayStation 4 takes place August 15-19 as the top 32 Call of Duty teams from around the world head to Columbus, Ohio to compete for their share of the $1.5 million prize pool.

The first two days of action — August 15 and August 16 — take place at the MLG Arena with Group Play action. The competition then moves to the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio from August 17 through August 19 as a new Call of Duty Champion will be crowned.

It has been a crazy season for the Call of Duty World League, as new teams rose to the top to win events throughout the season. Last year’s championship team, OpTic Gaming, have yet to secure an event win in the Call of Duty: WWII season.
