What is COD Mobile World Championship?

Well, it was 22^nd April of this year when Activision officially announced that the World Championship is starting from 30^th April, on Twitter. The tourney started with round 1a and 1b, all you had to do was clear either stage 1a or 1b to qualify for stage 2. Your rank must be atleast Veteran to kick-start your journey.

• Veteran: 10 points per win
• Elite: 12 points per win

Here is an official trailer of the World Championship 2020 Stage 4:

Stage 1 – Solo Qualifiers

Stage 1a took place every weekend starting from 30^th of April and ending on 24^th of May. On the other hand, stage 1b was unfolded on 2^nd of July and same as stage 1a, it was continued every weekend for four weeks.

Stage 2 – Team Qualifiers

Stage 2 started with the initial 2a stage, which took place after stage 1a, between 18^th to 28^th June. 2b begun from 16^th August and ended on 24^th of the same month. Just like Stage 1, you only had to complete either stage 2a or 2b to proceed to round 3.

The major thing which was required in stage 2 was, that you must have a team of 5 qualified players from round 1 (6^th player could be used as a substitute), in order to compete in round 2. Each team had to play 30 ranked matches to grind for a spot in the top 512 teams from their respective region.

Stage 3 – Head to Head Against Each Other

Now, after qualifying for stage 3, each team had to battle it out against another, in a best of 5 series. The tournament was held on Major League Gaming. It was simple, if you lose, you’re out of the tournament. And if you win then you’ll progress to the next round until all matches have been played.

Stage 3a took place from Thursdays to Sundays, starting from 2^nd July to 19^th July, 2020. As for stage 3b, the schedule was set from 29^th August to the 6^th of September, with matches taking place on Saturdays and Sundays.

Each region featured two Stage 3a tourneys as compared to one of stage 3b. The top two teams of stage 3a from every region and the top 4 teams from stage 3b qualified for stage 4, in order to try and qualify for the finals.

Stage 4 – Regional Qualifiers

The second last stage of the COD Mobile World Championship, the Regional Qualifiers, will be beginning from tomorrow i.e the 26^th of September. The best players and teams will be up against one another in what’s going to be a double bracket elimination format tournament. In simple words, if you lose, you will get another shot to qualify for the next round in the loser’s bracket.

However, if you lose 2 matches, then you’re out of the race. For the finals of this stage, if the team from loser’s bracket reaches the final and wins it, then both teams will be having 1 loss each, so as a result, another match will be played to determine the best team of that particular region.
