All You Need To Know About The Club Championship

Jun 16, 2025.

A cumulative points-based competition where partnered esports clubs compete across multiple games during the EWC (8 Jul - 24 Aug), the Club Championship crowns the best overall esports organization based on consistent high performance across titles. Read on for further details on the requirements to compete in the Club Championship, alongside the points and prize money distribution, and what happens in the event of a tiebreaker.


Requirements

There are a couple of simple requirements for the Club Championship - one of these is necessary to participate, whilst the other is necessary to win:

  • Participation requirement - A Club needs to reach the top 8 in at least two competitions to be eligible to participate in the Club Championship.
  • Winning requirement - A Club needs to reach first place in at least one competition to be eligible to win the Club Championship and become the best Club in the world. In the case that the Club with the most points has not achieved this, first place will go to the Club that has accrued the most points whilst meeting this requirement.

Alongside this, it’s worth noting that Clubs can only earn points for participants that were publicly stated as part of the organization before the deadline at 23:59 AST on May 15 2025. (Except for an exception to EA SPORTS FC 25 and Apex Legends, which had the deadline extended to May 31st, 2025 at 23:59 AST, conditional to expanded rules as stated on the respective game tournament page on esportsworldcup.com.

Points Breakdown

Clubs earn points by placing in each game tournament, rewarding Clubs that consistently perform well across multiple titles. More Clubs competing in more game titles means more competition, and many more unforgettable moments in esports history. Here is the full breakdown of points based on competition placement:

Tiebreaker Scenarios

If a tiebreaker for first place in the Club Championship occurs, it will be decided in the following order:

  • Individual competition results - if a Club has more first-place finishes in individual competitions, they win the tiebreaker. If both are the same, second-place finishes are then considered, and so on.
  • Head to head - if a Club has more points from direct matches than the Club(s) it is tied with, they win the tiebreaker.
  • If there still remain ties for first place after the above, the administration may introduce other feasible methods to resolve it.

In the case that Clubs tie for any other position below first place, the money for that position will be split without the use of tiebreakers.

Why It Matters

First-of-its-Kind Structure: It’s one of the few systems that rewards organizations for overall dominance across titles—not just a single-game championship.

Adds Strategic Depth: Clubs must manage rosters and resources across various games, showcasing true organizational strength.

Massive Prestige + Prizes: With financial incentives and recognition on the line, winning the Club Championship is a top-tier esports accolade.

Support your Club: You can rally behind your club like traditional sports teams—tracking their progress, buying team-specific merch, and participating in Club activities.
