The Call of Duty Endowment has announced the second annual C.O.D.E. Bowl, presented by USAA.. The Endowment's charity event takes place on December 11th, and brings together top streamers and teams from all U.S Department of Defence military branches and UK branches to raise awareness and funds for veteran employment.
All five U.S. Department of Defence military branches along with the UK military will be getting stuck into Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War with members from their own esports teams. Popular streamers joining these teams include Courage, LEGIQN, Huskerrs, Swagg, TeeP, Espresso, Vikkstar, Tommey, C9Emz, Spratt, with more to be announced.
The Bowl includes three new teams from the US Marine Corps, US Air Force, and the US Space Force. The United Kingdom's British Army, Royal Air Force, and Royal Navy, will also be joining in. This will actually be the first trans-Atlantic military esports competition to feature these branches, and each team has been coached by Call Of Duty League pros, so it should be quite a show.
"We are proud to have the United States and the United Kingdom militaries come together to participate in the C.O.D.E. Bowl," said Dan Goldenberg, executive director of the Call of Duty Endowment in a press release.
