Recently, ACL announced preliminary details for the first event of its 2015 season, to be held in Brisbane on May 30-31.

Talent Announcement

Venue

MAP

For 2015, ACL has made some important changes to our live event structure, keeping us in line with the top eSports organisations from around the world. One of these changes is to implement a 15+ policy, which will be broken down further in THIS article. Another change we have made is to concentrate our focus on particular games for each event. Therefore, although our PC titles will be shown some love at our future 2015 events, ACL Brisbane is all about console, featuring Call of Duty and Halo competitions for Xbox One.

Registration

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare team passes for ACL Brisbane are sold out. Originally, when we announced ACL Brisbane we set the team cap at 20 teams, which was due mainly to venue restrictions. The last 2 days prior to cutoff has seen an influx of registrations. When only 1 team pass remained available, 3 different teams all tried to purchase the last team pass at the same time. After taking a day to confirm that we can accommodate this many teams we are announcing that 22 teams will compete at ACL Brisbane. You can see the full list of competing teams below.

We are unable to field anymore teams than 22 teams, as we are stretching capacity already. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. I would encourage teams to sign up for ACL Sydney which does not as yet have a limit on registration numbers. This event is also only 5 weeks away, so get pumped for more Call of Duty action at an extra special event! You can register for ACL Sydney here
