Look Sports Media – The Esports World Cup (EWC) has dropped a bombshell announcement, revealing a thrilling new format for its Call of Duty: Warzone tournament. Forget Verdansk; this year’s competition, boasting a record-breaking prize pool exceeding £50 million, will exclusively feature the fast-paced Resurgence mode. The event, set to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in July, promises a high-octane spectacle unlike any seen before.
The decision to ditch Verdansk, a map staple in past Warzone tournaments, including last year’s EWC 2024, marks a significant shift in strategy. The smaller Resurgence map guarantees constant action, eliminating the potential for stagnant gameplay that larger maps like Verdansk can sometimes suffer from. This dynamic shift is perfectly suited to the EWC’s high-stakes format, promising intense firefights and strategic maneuvering from start to finish.
Resurgence’s unique redeployment mechanic adds another layer of complexity. Teams earn points based on both eliminations and final placement, with placement multipliers adding a crucial strategic element. This scoring system rewards both aggressive play and smart positioning, ensuring that every decision carries weight.
