HELSINKI, FINLAND, WEDNESDAY 1st of March, 2023 - We released Competitive Roadmap 2023 to present grassroots Esports with a rebranded Intermediate League, and an introduction to the Pro League.

All of these major events are tied together with a way to showcase Critical Ops’ top players, while simultaneously creating a pathway for new rising stars to become pro and compete with top contenders. With Worlds 2023 announced, considering last year’s prize pool amount, there would be a minimum combined total of over $65,000.

We have partnered up with MOBILE E-SPORTS to ensure a smooth showcase of all of the interrelated events both by hosting and managing the production of the broadcasts.

The Pro League is Critical Ops’ next chapter in its grassroots Esports. For the first time, the players can earn the title of PRO, and can continue to show off their great teamwork, precision, and agility.

All of the teams that play in the league will be competing in a BO2, with a match against every opponent in their division throughout 6 weeks. The in-game prize pool and positions for the League portion of the tournament will be recognized with the top 4 of the league heading to playoffs. 5th place will get to keep their spot for season 2, 6th would need to fight for their spot with Circuit’s third place team, and 7th and 8th will be dropped out completely with the first and second place of Circuit Intermediate to take their spots. Season 1 begins March 6th, and concludes by the end of April, where the first season of Circuit Intermediate will start.

  • Times of the streams will be announced once the participating teams are determined.
