UMG

In 2012, Jeff Covington stepped into the Call of Duty community with hopes of bringing another source for LAN events aside from MLG, to the community. Named UMG Gaming, the first event would be held in Chicago, Illinois, where UMG would set the tone to become the newest and most upcoming event holder in North America (aside from MLG.) With promises of prizes and same day payouts, UMG Gaming quickly became widely known in the competitive scene. Going on its sixth event; come January of 2014, UMG Gaming announce they will officially be partnered with MLG to bring more events to the competitive Call of Duty scene to give the players more chances to rank in the pro points for ranking in future MLG events.
