According to multiple sources, Call of Duty Challengers teams can earn invites to the Modern Warfare 3 Esports World Cup worth $1.8 million based on their performance in Champions, making the Texas event even more to look forward to.
The eSports World Cup is an eight-week, multi-tournament festival where the biggest teams in eSports compete in multiple games.
The last tournament announced was Modern Warfare 3 with a total prize pool of $1.8 million. All 12 teams were invited to the Call of Duty League, but LA Guerrilla did not participate, confirming an earlier report from Dexerto.
Originally there were three additional spots for Challenger teams as well as a MENA qualifier for the best team to qualify for the main event. However, due to the absence of LAG, these Challenger Invitationals will be increased to four.
Confusion remains over how Challenger teams will be invited, but multiple sources have confirmed that the top four Challenger Chams teams will qualify for the World Cup of Sports.
The question that remains unanswered is what happens to teams where one or more players are called up to a Call of Duty League team after qualifying for Challengers.
For example, Joseph “Awakening” Connelly, Cameron “Kami” McQuilligan and Ivan “Pierge” Perez are expected to be on Breach Boston’s roster for the World Championship, but he is also one of the top candidates for the final title. . At this point, it’s unclear exactly what will happen, and many Challengers players don’t know about it.
The OMiT Brooklyn team, as well as FC Black, Houston Spartans, Lore Gaming, OMiT EU and others, are making serious bets to make it to the Challengers finals.
The COD Challengers Finals will take place from July 19th to 21st, with the Grand Finals scheduled to take place before the CDL Champions Finals on the main stage.
