We've partnered up with Finnish developer Supercell to host the Clash of Clans World Championship starting March 2019!
The Clash of Clans World Championship will feature six months full of action-packed competitions with a brand new 5v5 format based on the Clan War Leagues and $1 million in prize money on the line.
The Clash of Clans World Championship will kick off on Friday March 1, 2019 with the first of six pre-qualifier rounds, which will be open for everyone to participate directly in-game or via ESL Play. Only the top eight teams, four from the in-game pre-qualifier and four from ESL Play, will get a chance to participate in the monthly offline qualifier, taking place at a newly-built arena in Katowice, Poland.

Six out of eight slots for the World Championship Final will be filled with the best teams from each offline qualifier. On top of that, the remaining two slots will go to two lucky wildcard winners chosen by Supercell and the Clash of Clans community based on their performance during the whole competition.
The final will be held in front of a live audience at a soon-to-be confirmed ESL mega event in Germany.
