Intro
The end of the CCL 2022 Post-season draws near as regional online bracket play wraps up in the East and West. Thus, it is time for an update on what to expect for this Activision-approved LAN FINALS. We’re excited to bring more Call of Duty to Columbus, which has hosted MLG, CWL, and CDL events throughout the last decade.
As a reminder, all players and spectators are expected to abide by all rules in the CCL Handbook and 2022 Season Rulebook at all times throughout the duration of the event.
