The semi-invitational program will be separate trios- and duos-based competitions for each of the North America and European regions. The first competition starts with players based in North America for the World Series of Warzone: Trios NA.

All 50 trio squads will compete in a custom lobby for six matches. They will accumulate points based on kills and overall placement of their squads. The performance of the 50 trio squads will determine their share of $200,000.

An additional $100,000 is up for grabs in the Captain’s Cup. It is a surprise twist, which will be led by some of the biggest names in Call of Duty Esports.

Details of the Warzone competition

The organizers will select five captains based on their existing ties to the Call of Duty franchise to compete in the Captain’s Cup. Captains will be tasked with drafting a team of trio squads that have been formed prior to the draft. In turn, each captain will have pre-selected two players to form their trio squad.

After this, each of the five captains will engage in a 9-round live draft via snake draft. This is complete when there are five teams of 10 trios, or 30 total players per team. Each captain’s team will be scored based on the aggregate point total of its 10 trio squads.

The performance of each of the five teams will determine their share of the Captain’s Cup prize pool. It features $20,000 to the winning captain and $1,000 for each member of the winning captain’s team.
