Solo results

Qualifiers format
Stage 1 was originally planned to start on April 28, bringing together the best Trios on Al Mazrah, each looking to take home the lion’s share of the $1.2 million prize pool. However, in-game issues led to delays across the board as custom lobbies struggles to function properly.
After a few weeks of extra development, WSOW got back on track. Teams first went through an in-game open. The top 50 trios in each region advanced to the WSOW Stage 1 Qualifiers and 25 moved on from there to the Regional Finals, along with 25 other teams invited by Activision.
Activision The top 25 teams from the Stage 1 Regional Finals automatically qualified for the Regional Finals, while the bottom 25 went through the Stage 2 Qualifiers.
