CRITICAL FORCE LAUNCHES CRITICAL OPS WORLDS 2024
Critical Ops WORLDS 2024 will begin THIS FALL in November with a total combined prize pool of $25,000 USD
HELSINKI, FINLAND FRIDAY, 13th of November, 2024 - Critical Force has partnered up with MOBILE E-SPORTS once again and will be presenting the third iteration of the World Championship to Critical Ops Esports.
As has been the case in the previous two iterations, the combined prize pool consists of $25,000, and prizes awarded to the final eight teams that make it to the end of the tournament. REDMAGIC, G FUEL, and GameSir continue their sponsorship with this edition, leveling up the thrill factor once again.
In the Qualification Stage, for the first time, qualifiers remain open to all teams, allowing any roster of 7 to sign up. This phase consists of two qualification brackets - one for Eurasia and one for America. In a single elimination Best of Three format, the remaining eight teams from each go through to the next round, confirming the top sixteen teams globally.
In the Main Stage, brackets are reshuffled, yet remain as two separate continental areas. At this point, teams participate in double elimination Best of Three rounds, with the Upper Bracket winner, losing finalist and Lower Bracket winner moving to the Final Stage.
In the Final Stage, the regions come together to create one global bracket consisting of the final six. At this point, the two Upper Bracket winners receive a bye to the Semi-Finals. The remaining four teams play a single knockout match each in a Best of Five, with the winner moving to the semis. The winner of both Semi-Finals then faces off in a Best of Seven Grand Final held over the course of two days.
