The five-day competition to be held at the famed Edwin W. Pauley

live for viewers around the world. Fans can catch every epic
contest on MLG.com, Twitch and even in-game inside Call of Duty®:

this year,” said Johanna Faries, Commissioner of Call of Duty
Esports. “After months of storylines, drama and outstanding
competition, we’re about to see who is the best Call of Duty
Esports team in the world.”
Added Co-Studio Head of Treyarch, Dan Bunting, “It’s been
incredible watching the competitive community play Black Ops 4 this
season, especially at the level of competition that we’ve seen

you to all the players who competed this season, as well as fans
and viewers everywhere who have enjoyed the action like we have –
we can’t wait to see who takes home the title on Sunday.”
