For those wondering, the CWL Champion Bracket includes the 12 North American CWL Pro Division teams and the top 4 teams coming out of the open bracket. The open bracket will be a double elimination tournament, but the CWL Champion bracket will follow CoD World League Single Elimination Tournament Rules. This event allows teams from the open bracket to earn even more money if they are able to place top 8 in the Champion bracket. Pro Division teams will be seeded according to their current standings.
