The Call of Duty: Mobile World Championship is entering its fourth stage, the regional playoffs. It will features separate tournaments for the five regions in the Championship: Japan, Latin America, Western Europe, North America, and the Rest of the World.
Eight teams have qualified for the regional playoffs through the two qualifiers held by Activision in the past few months. Each regional playoffs has a prize pool of $50,000. Adding to the stakes is the fact that the winner of each playoff will qualify for the CODM World Championship Finals, which will be a LAN event later this year.
Every player in the regional playoffs will be required to play using the Sony Xperia 1 II smartphone. These will be provided to the teams before the playoffs begin in North America, Japan, and Western Europe.
