The Road to Katowice: A Calculated Draw
Unlike a mere roll of the dice, the group allocations for this year`s championship were a strategic affair. Activision meticulously considered regional performance and the formidable results of 2024 to ensure a balanced and highly competitive playing field. The aim? To craft a narrative of clash and triumph, pitting the best of the East against the giants of the West. This isn`t just a tournament; it`s a meticulously engineered spectacle designed to deliver maximum tension and skill.

Titans and Challengers: Who to Watch on the Mobile Battlefield
With groups now public, the whispers of potential rivalries and underdog stories are already echoing across the CoD Mobile esports community. A few names, however, resonate louder than others.
Leading the charge into Group A are the reigning world champions, Elevate. This squad has maintained a consistent core roster since 2023, crafting a near-unblemished record in tournaments since 2024. Their dominance reached its zenith last year when they convincingly dispatched Chinese powerhouse Qing Jiu Club in both the Summer Invitational and the World Championship. They arrive in Katowice with a target on their backs so large it might require its own spectator stand, widely considered the favorites to lift the trophy again.
But the path to glory is rarely unchallenged. Stalwart Esports, a formidable Filipino contingent and Elevate’s regional rival, offers a compelling counter-narrative. They are, notably, one of the very few teams to have dethroned Elevate recently, clinching the Garena Masters Season 9 last July. Their clash with any top team will undoubtedly be a highlight.
Then there’s Qing Jiu Club from China, the 2024 runner-up, a team seeking redemption. Their devastating loss in last year`s Grand Finals against Elevate still stings, prompting a roster refresh. They now feature three new players, alongside the veteran presence of Kong ‘Dchen’ Zhuyu, a competitive stalwart since 2019. This revamped lineup is clearly on a mission to reclaim their honor.
Finally, we cannot overlook Wolves, China’s top seed and themselves former world champions from 2023. With two players from that title-winning lineup still anchoring the team, their experience is invaluable. Their recent victory at the 2025 Major earlier this year signals they are in prime form, ready to reassert their dominance.
The Gauntlet: Tournament Format Explained
The CoD Mobile World Championship Finals 2025 is designed for high-stakes drama. The initial group stage will follow a GSL-style format, ensuring that only the two strongest teams from each group advance to the playoffs.
Once in the playoffs, the intensity ratchets up with a double-elimination bracket. This format offers a second chance, but pushes teams to their absolute limit. All matches are set for a best-of-five (Bo5) series, demanding strategic depth and stamina. The ultimate battle for supremacy, the Grand Final, will escalate to a grueling best-of-seven (Bo7), a true test of endurance and skill that will crown the deserving Call of Duty Mobile world champion.
The stage is set, the teams are primed, and Katowice awaits. Prepare for three days of tactical brilliance, split-second reflexes, and the kind of intense competition that only a world championship can deliver. This is mobile esports at its peak, and every shot, every objective, will matter.
