While many esports titles leverage the Esports World Cup for significant tournaments, some opt to make it the centerpiece of their competitive calendar. Call of Duty: Warzone is one such game, with its premier international event, the Call of Duty: Warzone Resurgence Series, set to take place this summer.
Dubbed the ‘crown jewel’ of the competitive circuit, the Resurgence Series will pit the world’s top teams against each other for a substantial prize pool of one million dollars. This tournament represents a significant step up, with all competitive paths ultimately leading to this grand finale. Qualification will be determined through participation in regional events held globally.
The 32 available slots will be distributed as follows:
- The top 5 teams yet to qualify for the EWC from COD:WRS Atlanta at DreamHack.
- The top 6 teams from the COD:WRS Championship: NA Qualifiers.
- The top 6 teams from the COD:WRS Championship: EU Qualifiers.
- The top 3 teams from the COD:WRS Championship: Northern LATAM Qualifiers.
- The top 2 teams from the COD:WRS Championship: Southern LATAM Qualifiers.
- The top 3 teams from the COD:WRS Championship: MENA Qualifiers.
- The top 2 teams from the COD:WRS Championship: APAC Qualifiers.
This structure indicates a future direction for Call of Duty: Warzone esports, suggesting a more official and organized advancement that the scene has long awaited.
