The Major League Gaming and publisher Activision are ready to announce the 32 teams that have managed to perform well enough in qualifying events to become part of the 2014 Call of Duty Championship that will be taking place right at the end of the month.

The tournament will offer overall prizes of 1 million dollars (750,000 Euro) and all the matches will be based on Ghosts with most recent patches.

The entire line-up of teams listed on the official site is made up of:

TCM Gaming - UK SSOF Gaming - Brazil Epsilon Esports - UK Aztek Gaming - Mexico TEC Intensity - UK Nsp - South Korea Team Orbit - UK Trident T1dotters - Australia Vitality Rises - France Immunity - Australia Vitality Returns - France VexX Revenge - Canada Killerfish - Germany WiLD Gaming - Canada SK Gaming - Germany Echelon - Singapore Reign Mix - Sweden Strictly Business - U.S.A. AllStars - Netherlands CompLexity - U.S.A. Wizards - Spain Team Kaliber - U.S.A. Sublime - Italy FaZe - U.S.A. Lightning Pandas - EU EnVyUs - U.S.A. Team Rize ZA - South Africa Rise Nation - U.S.A. Klarity Gaming - UAE OpTic Gaming - U.S.A. Brazil 5 Stars - Brazil Xfinity Gaming - U.S.A.

Streaming for the Call of Duty Championships will be offered via the official MLG website, but the details will probably be offered closer to the launch date.

At the moment, Activision is working on an entirely new installment of the shooter series, which is set to be launched during the fall and is handled by the new team at Sledgehammer Games.

They have promised to introduce some significant changes to the series, but their freedom to innovate will be limited by the fact that the fan base is expecting to get the same Call of Duty core experience they do each year.
