Call of Duty takes center stage in the Esports World Cup
Exciting news for Call of Duty fans as Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone are set to make a splash at the Esports World Cup in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia later this summer. The EWC made the announcement today, causing excitement among gamers worldwide.
A fantastic lineup of games
CoD joins other popular titles on the EWC list, including Apex Legends, Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, EA Sports FC 24, Fortnite, League of Legends, and Overwatch 2. With such a varied choice of games, the competition will undoubtedly be strong and the prize pools huge.
Exciting Prizes. Await
MW3 will see 16 teams vying for a $1.8 million prize pool, while Warzone will feature 21 teams competing for a share of a $1 million prize pool. The overall prize money for the event has surpassed $33 million, making it one of the most profitable tournaments in esports history.
Mark your calendars.
The action begins with Warzone from July 3 to 6, followed by MW3 from August 15 to 18. This schedule assures that fans will have plenty of high-stakes matches to see, with the CDL championship weekend in Texas concluding the competitive season on July 18-21.
Despite the enthusiasm around the event, the EWC has received criticism for holding the tournament in Saudi Arabia, a country notorious for its treatment of LGBTQIA+ people. Renowned esports caster Alex “Goldenboy” Mendez even turned down the opportunity to work at the event, expressing worries over the Saudi government’s involvement.
As the esports world prepares for the Esports World Cup, the stage is set for an exciting exhibition of ability and competitiveness. With Call of Duty leading the way, fans can expect nothing less than thrilling gameplay and heated struggles for glory.
