Format & prizing

The 2020 Call of Duty League postseason is a massive double-elimination tournament that’s split into two sections: the Playoffs, which run from August 19 to August 23, and the Championship Weekend, which takes place August 29 and 30.

Due to a midseason change to the format, all 12 teams are competing in the playoffs, with the top eight seeds from the regular season starting off in the winners bracket and the bottom four facing elimination right away in the losers.

CDLAtlanta FaZe, Dallas Empire, and Chicago Huntsmen all get to skip the first round of the CDL Playoffs thanks to their top-four finishes in the regular season.

The match format, as usual, is best-of-five, featuring two Hardpoints, two Search and Destroys, and one Domination. This will apply to all matches except the Championship Grand Final, which will be a best-of-nine with the team from the winners bracket starting off with a 1-0 lead.

  • Map 1—Hardpoint
  • Map 2—Search and Destroy
  • Map 3—Domination
  • Map 4—Hardpoint
  • Map 5— Search and Destroy
  • Map 6—Domination
  • Map 7—Hardpoint
  • Map 8—Search and Destroy

As for the prizing, the top 10 placing teams each earn at least a $100,000 share of the $4.6 million pool, meaning that the two sides that get eliminated in the first round will exit empty-handed.

  • League Champion—$1.5 million
  • Runner-up—$900,000
  • 3rd place—$600,000
  • 4th place—$450,000
  • 5th/6th place—$300,000 (2 teams)
  • 7th/8th place—$175,000 (2 teams)
  • 9th/10th place—$100,000 (2 teams)
  • 11th/12thplace—$0 (2 teams)

In addition to the $1.5 million, the champions will also receive a full-size throne, the 2020 championship trophy, and commemorative rings.

Teams & Rosters

All of the teams except one are featuring the same roster that they finished the regular season with, the lone exception being the Minnesota ROKKR.
