The tournament was held in front of a live audience for the first time and was undoubtedly the most successful to date. At peak times, it was watched by a remarkable 378,316 spectators - hardly surprising given the unprecedented growth of the WSOW in recent years. Since its inception in 2021, a total of 80,793 players have participated over the years.

Fans were treated to two competitions at once: the WSOW's three-player squad tournament and the distinctive SoloYolo competition. The former pitted the top 50 three-man teams in the world against each other. Biffle, Sage and Shifty carried off the victory and cleared the prize money of $100,000. The final remained exciting until the last minute, when Team Biffle won the last game with 24 kills (125 total).

Three-team tournament winner Biffle stated "Because the tournament was held in person this year, the win is even more poignant. The atmosphere was incredible, attracting a much wider community, which is really promising! We're on fire for e-sports as a sport, and to have such a large network as support was really overwhelming!"

The SoloYolo competition featured the 150 players:inside who qualified for the WSOW global finals. Skullface took home the $100,000 prize money, even though Authorized and bbreadman were narrowly defeated. Skullface secured the win with a daring and final kill in one of the most action-packed Call of Duty: Warzone games ever. The moment of victory can be seen here.

Skullface told fans after his win, "Supporting live in an e-sports tournament shows how far the industry has come in terms of popularity and engagement. To come in first place at such a legendary event was an absolute pleasure."
