Sixteen of the best Call of Duty teams from North America, Europe, and the Asian Pacific region will start their latest LAN journey in the group stages at MLG’s Atlanta Open. In previous years, professional EU/APAC teams have had to make their way through the Open Bracket if they competed in NA events, but new policies have awarded those teams spots in the Pool Play based on Pro Points.
Today MLG announced all of the teams that will start in Pool Play, and there are a lot of familiar names:
Pool A
Rise Nation
FaZe Clan
Infused
Enigma6
Pool B
Splyce
OpTic Gaming
Allegiance
Evil Geniuses
Pool C
Cloud9
Elevate
Luminosity Gaming
Team 3G
Pool D
Orbit
eUnited
Team EnVyUs
Fnatic
The top four teams from the Open Bracket will round out each of the Pools. MLG has stated they expect over 176 teams to participate in the event at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA February 10th-12th.
