Call of Duty: The Black Ops 4 Esports Reveal Recap

Moving forward

After the victory of Evil Geniuses in the Call of Duty 2018 championships, the off season was marked by the anticipation of the next season. Black Ops 4 year. While the The Second World War the season was not the most well received, the Call of Duty The scene is becoming one of the most competitive years. This time, the off season was shorter than usual. As a general rule, Activision releases Call of Duty titles early November. This year, however, the release date has been postponed until early October.

Despite the early season earlier, the off season was long but packed. Once the hype of CoD Champs has calmed down, the community has seen the return of a notorious figure. The CODBurner would return to the scene and have inside information on moves and developments in the industry. As he did earlier in the season, this new "intel" would upset the scene and provoke speculation. During the off season, we also witnessed the return of professional players such as ZooMaa, Scump and Crimsix. This coincided with the release of the beta version of Blackout, Black Ops 4The new royal battle mode.

Finally, the community got a glimpse of what the upcoming season will have in store. Hot questions such as the franchise and the fact that the matches turn into five against five are finally treated. The highly anticipated Black Ops 4 The esports lounge was finally aired where Clint actors "Maven" Evans and Joe "MerK" DeLuca shared the details of the presentations and changes for the new season.

"Biggest prize pool in the history of Call of Duty"

Many rumors and speculations have been addressed in the Black Ops 4 reveal. Out of the ripping, we finally have confirmation that Call of Duty would go five to five. It was also confirmed that Treyarch had asked a group of experts to test the new format. Notable pros include Slasher, Clayster, BuZZO and Bance. No information has been released stating that the World League Call of Duty (CWL) would enter the franchise. It has been revealed that this season's prize pool would be $ 6 million. Maven confirmed that this was done to offset the increase in staff this year.

In addition, more information on the first event was detailed. CWL Vegas, which runs from December 7 to 9, will bring together eight teams based on last season's performances. A relegation tournament will be held with the top eight teams based on positives. Four teams will qualify for CWL Vegas thanks to this. As always, four other teams will be able to play pool with open support. More weight was put on this first event. Going to the top four of CWL Vegas will immediately qualify the teams for the new Pro League season.

Pro League

"It's going to be CWL's biggest season"

Major changes have been made to the LAN Pro League this season. Instead of having a two-step schedule, the league will only be one step over 12 weeks. This means that there will be no relegation and that teams will not have to worry about the elimination. It will end with a renowned playoff in the final of the LCB. As with last season, there will be a total of 16 teams in the league. In addition, it will be divided into two divisions with eight teams per division. Unlike last year, there will be a cross-division game to measure the strength of the teams.

As mentioned above, the top four teams will qualify from CWL Vegas. In January, CWL Vegas' top 32 players will be invited to a LAN at the MLG Arena in Columbus, Ohio. The top 12 teams will qualify for the league, which will allow them to retain the top 16 teams in the world. The new Pro League will begin in February and will run from Monday to Thursday.

While the league remains pretty much the same for Black Ops 4, some minor changes have been made. Other changes include additional prizes for simply winning games. This was done to encourage the teams to always make every effort, even if they can not participate in the finals. In addition, team lists are no longer limited by regions. Pro League teams must also have a sixth member on the list to act as a substitute. In order to allow teams more freedom, more motion windows from the list will be available this season.

Path to the pro

"We want to make sure that we are also focusing on these guys"

One of the main announcements has been an increased concentration on the amateur (AM) Call of Duty scene. Over the years, events have always been characterized by an open slice, where the top four teams qualify for pool play. Unfortunately, these open teams are always outclassed and do not get far after. This season, a new "path to the pro" reworked will be introduced.

This year, fans will have their own dedicated circuit with their own prize pool. Aspiring players will have "to win their own prize and their own trophy". This circuit will run parallel to the regular season of the Pro League and will end with its own playoff finals. After CWL Vegas, subsequent open competitions will have dual elimination support dedicated to amateur teams. This will allow the best organizations to more effectively explore the new talent.

Online gaming will also provide opportunities. A combination of CWL ladders, weekly tournaments and Pro points will allow fans to hone their skills. Pro Points will continue to be based around three regions: North America (NA), Europe (EU) and Asia-Pacific (APAC). It has been confirmed that weekly scales will be available and live during the game's release.

Last year, the national circuit of the CFL was reorganized into CWL's national qualifications. 16 teams can participate in each regional qualification for the chance to win a trip and accommodation for one of the CWL's open events. The regions are: United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Ireland, Italy, Spain and Portugal, Germany and the Netherlands, France and Belgium, Australia and New Zealand. However, lists are locked in the region and players from their respective regions are required.

A new Year

Although many questions have been resolved, there is little left. What is the regulation for this year? What are the specific details for other open events? It seems that Treyarch and CWL will publish this information at a later date. At the moment, the players receive your teams and your fans mark your calendars because the Black Ops 4 the season is coming. Get more details on the CWL official website.
