Mobile gaming has picked up a lot in popularity over the past few years with many high-stakes tournaments being played more often. This trend seems to be supported by the return of the 2022 Call of Duty: Mobile World Championship with its $2 million prize pool.
The tournament that starts on March 31 promises to “be a major event for all eligible players”, according to the official statement. The prize pool, of which $1.7 million are going to the Championship Finals, is the largest single event payout in Call of Duty: Mobile World Championship history. All eligible participants will be able to compete to earn in-game rewards, including new weapons and Operators, plus a share of the prize pool.

Mobile CoD Is Soaring in Popularity
Over the past year or two, mobile gaming has somewhat of a resurgence. With many large franchises branching out to mobile platforms, it is no wonder large organizers like ESL Gaming are launching mobile esports leagues.
Activision’s vice president of mobile Matt Lewis had a few things to say on the matter. “Our massive, worldwide community of players continues to drive the team’s passion to deliver an epic Call of Duty: Mobile experience now and in the future,” he commented. He invited everyone to partake in the event for a chance to win a portion of the $2 million prize pool.
