Prize money

A total of US$1.2 million has been given up for grabs at the World Series of Warzone 2023.

There will be US$150,000 per region, adding up to US$600,000 before the global final offers up another US$600,000 on its own.

Online qualifiers and regional finals

The World Series of Warzone is open to players from all regions and will be divided into the following stages: in-game open, online qualifiers, regional finals, a last chance qualifier, and a global final.

In-game Open: Players can sign up for the in-game open where they’ll compete with WSOW scoring for a shot at making the top 50 in their region. The top 50 will move forward into the open qualifiers.

Online Qualifiers: The online qualifiers will begin on April 22, 2023, and will consist of five qualifier events where players can earn points to qualify for the regional finals. The top 25 trios will move forward into the regional finals.

Regional Finals: The regional finals will take place in June and July 2023, and will feature teams from North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America. In addition to the teams that made it through the previous qualifiers, 25 trios will be invited to the regional finals.

Last Chance Qualifier: The Last Chance Qualifier will take place in August 2023, and will feature the top teams from each region that did not already qualify for the Global Final. The bottom 35 teams from the regional finals will be joined by 15 invited trios in the LCQ. The top 5 teams from NA and EU will advance to the Global Final.

Global Final: The Global Final will be held live and in-person in September 2023. The top 50 trios in the world compete in a custom lobby against each other, battling for the most points via the WSOW scoring.

How to sign up for WSOW

According to the official World Series of Warzone 2023 page, eligible players will need to sign up with their trio on the GameBattles site to compete in the stage 1 in-game open event.

Once registered, they will compete in the Call of Duty: Warzone WSOW playlist. The playlist will open on April 27 and run through April 30 during which the competitive settings will be enabled and players will be vying to earn as many points as possible.

The 10 best-scoring matches will be pulled from all the matches played, and used to determine who will make it to the stage 1 qualifiers.

WSOW Scoring

In the World Series of Warzone 2023, each elimination will be one point. A trio’s placement will add a multiplier to their total eliminations.

This will allow for players to seek out kills to make up for placement, or get a comfortable amount of kills and then hunker down for a top placement.

• 1st Place: 2x Point Multiplier
• 2nd–5th Place: 1.8x Points
• 6th–10th Place: 1.6x Points
• 11th–20th Place: 1.4x Points
• 21st–35th Place: 1.2x Points
• 36th–50th Place: 1x Points
