Critical Ops WORLDS 2023 will begin THIS FALL in November with a total combined prize pool of $25,000 USD

HELSINKI, FINLAND, WEDNESDAY, 8th of November, 2023 - Critical Force has partnered up with MOBILE E-SPORTS once again and will be presenting the second iteration of the World Championship to Critical Ops Esports.

This highly anticipated event has a combined prize pool of $25,000, with prizes awarded to the final eight teams that make it to the end of the tournament. This year’s sponsors REDMAGIC, G FUEL, and GameSir bring an exciting intensity to this iteration of the World Championships.

In Stage 1, teams that missed out on direct qualification participate in a single-elimination Last Chance Qualifier. While the winner moves onto Stage 2, those that placed 5th in last season’s Pro League (Eurasia and Americas) compete against the runner-ups of the Last Chance Qualifiers. The 3rd and 4th place teams from Pro League bypass this stage and will head straight to Stage 2.

In Stage 2, last season’s Pro League’s 3rd and 4th will compete against each other in Match 1, with the winner advancing straight to Stage 3, giving the loser one final chance of making it to the next stage. Concurrently, the two teams making it out of Stage 1 battle amongst themselves in Match 2, with the winner of that encounter facing the loser of Match 1 - this is Match 3 - the winner of which also advances to Stage 3. The 1st and 2nd place teams from Pro League bypass this stage and will head straight to Stage 3.

In the Final Stage, the regions come together to create two global brackets, each with four teams, competing in a double-elimination format. The winners of each bracket then face off in a Best of Seven Grand Final held over the course of two days.
