Competitive Gaming's Grand Finals: Tournament Thrills and Epic Showdowns

This coming week in competitive gaming promises an action-packed schedule with several grand finales in sight. Three major showdowns are on the calendar: one for StarCraft II wrapping up on Friday, another for the Honor of Kings contest set for Saturday, and a high-stakes Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 match scheduled for Sunday.

While the first two tournaments are already underway to some extent, the Call of Duty event will begin tomorrow. Organizers have finalized the pool arrangements, giving us a clear preview of what to expect during this exciting tournament.

The opening phase will last two days and whittle the 16 participating teams down to eight contenders. Every group will produce two teams who will earn their place in the playoffs via a double-elimination system that features winners from both an upper and a lower bracket.

• Group A:
• Group B:
• Group C:
• Group D:

There is a notable tendency for many teams from the Call of Duty League to be seen under the banner of their parent organizations rather than by their franchise names. For example, representatives use names like FaZe Clan in place Consider this alternative phrasing: "from Atlanta Faze, joining forces with 100 Thieves instead of LA." Thieves, or Team Falcons rather than Vegas Falcons. This choice appears to be made to ensure that any collected Club Points go directly to the organization, which in turn helps in securing a higher rank in the festival-wide Club Championship.
