The roster rules for the MLG CoD League will play a significant role in the changes that we will see this week. Adam “MrAdamAp” Apicella, Executive Vice President of MLG, has recently announced that the eight qualifying teams from the MLG S3 CoD League Playoffs must have at least two players that qualified for the league on their roster.

With that being said, teams will most likely make drastic changes heading into the Advanced Warfare Season. The game is set to be unique and unlike any Call of Duty in the past. The different play styles of pro players will be crucial when deciding any final rosters.

Confirmed Roster Changes
