Call Of Duty League Championship Winners Get A Literal Throne As A Prize

With the Call of Duty League Championship happening this weekend, the organization has announced that alongside the championship ring and trophy, the winning team will also get a throne.

The organization didn't specify the dimensions of the prize, but it's a "functional [and] elevated gaming throne" created by Sheron Barber, a visual artist and designer who has worked with Drake, Rihanna, Post Malone, and others. The throne is made from Formica with a titanium veneer finish and will feature details like the Championship date, names, and player statistics from the season.

While it's still being built, the organization shared conceptual designs of the throne, which are embedded below.
