Game Modes and Rules

With Black Ops 4’s new focus on 5 v 5 matches, the CWL will stick with that setup for all games. Game modes include Hardpoint, Search and Destroy, and Control.

This years CWL will stick with a traditional double-elimination format for the pools. Teams will play a best of five series with the other four teams in their respective pools.

The teams with the top two records will move on to Winner’s Round 1. The last place teams in each pool will head over to Loser’s Round 1, fourth place teams will form Loser’s Round 2, and third place teams will go to Loser’s Round 3.

Following that, the respective brackets will continue with the best of five format until one team is crowned king.
