Everything you need to know about playing on WarzOne Cups — from registration to prize payouts, community rules to fair play policies.
WarzOne Cups is India's free-to-enter COD Mobile esports tournament platform. We host Daily Knockout team tournaments (Mon–Fri), Weekly Finals (Saturday), and a Monthly MVP award — all prizes sponsor-funded, zero entry fees. Our goal is to build India's leading COD Mobile competitive ecosystem.
Yes. WarzOne Cups is a free-to-enter skill-based esports platform — players pay nothing to compete and all prizes are sponsor-funded. Since no money flows from players to the platform in connection with competition, these events are not real-money gaming or gambling under the Online Gaming Act 2025. You must be 18 or older to participate.
No. All Daily Knockout, Weekend Finals, and Monthly MVP tournaments are completely free to enter — there is no participation fee, registration fee, or any charge to compete. The only optional paid product is the VIP Gold Pass (₹499/month), which is a community membership with cosmetic perks only and gives zero competitive advantage.
Currently, WarzOne Cups supports Call of Duty: Mobile (COD Mobile) — 5v5 Multiplayer team format. We plan to expand to additional modes and possibly other titles as the platform grows.
The fastest support channel is our Discord server (#support channel). You can also email [email protected] or use the contact form on our Contact Us page. We respond to all queries within 24 hours.
Create an account, pick a time slot in the Daily Knockout, and register your 5-player team — completely free, no payment step. You'll receive your Room ID on Discord 15 minutes before your match starts.
Room IDs and Passwords are posted in the #room-ids channel on our Discord server exactly 15 minutes before your match start time. You must be a member of the Discord server. If you haven't joined, do it immediately after registration.
Each Daily Knockout event has 8 teams of 5 players (40 players total) competing in a single-elimination bracket. Register for one of 4 Quarterfinal slots (6–7:30 PM IST) — the 4 QF winners advance to Semifinals, the 2 SF winners compete in the Final. The Final winner earns the Team of the Day title and maximum points. Slots are first-come, first-served and completely free.
In the rare event of a cancellation due to server issues or insufficient teams, registered teams are offered priority booking in the next available event. Since entry is free there is no refund required.
Daily Knockout and Weekend Finals run in 5v5 Multiplayer team format. MPWC Championship uses a structured week-long bracket. Follow our Discord for announcements of new modes.
Yes — register for one Quarterfinal slot per day. Win and you automatically advance to Semifinals and the Final with no extra registration needed, meaning one team can play up to 3 matches in a day (QF → SF → Final). Points from every match accumulate on the leaderboard. VIP status has no effect on match access.
Prizes are processed within 24 hours of official results being verified and published. Payment goes directly to your registered UPI ID after PAN verification. Ensure your UPI ID and PAN are correct in your dashboard.
All prizes are sponsor-funded and pre-announced — not pooled from participant fees (there are none). The structure:
• Daily Champion: Title + winner graphic (no cash)
• Weekly Champion Team (Weekend Finals winner): ₹1,000 gross → ₹700 net (30% TDS) — paid to team captain's UPI
• Monthly MVP (highest individual points, ≥60% matches played): ₹2,000 gross → ₹1,400 net (30% TDS) — paid to player's UPI
TDS is deducted per Section 194BA of the Income Tax Act. A TDS certificate is issued.
No. VIP Gold gives zero competitive advantage — slots, seeding, points, and prizes are identical for VIP and free players. VIP Gold (₹499/month) is a community membership: Gold Discord role, VIP badge on the leaderboard, VIP lounge access, poll votes, stream credits, and priority support. It is not a prize multiplier or booking priority.

Monthly Pro WarzOne Championship is WarzOne Cups' team-based competitive league. Up to 20 five-player teams compete across a structured 6-day week. The top team each week earns the Weekly Champion title and qualifies for the Monthly Championship Weekend — Saturday semi-finals + Sunday Grand Final — to crown the overall MPWC Champion of the month.
There are two ways to enter MPWC — both are free:
Team Entry — Register as a complete 5-player team. Fill in all 5 players' details (name, COD username, Discord tag) and your slot is confirmed immediately — no payment required.
Solo (Individual) Entry — Register alone. Admin will randomly group all solo entrants into balanced teams of 5 before Week 1 starts. You'll be notified of your assigned team via Discord.
MPWC registration is completely free — no entry fees for teams or individuals. All prize budgets are sponsor-funded.
MPWC runs over a 6-day competitive week (Monday–Saturday) followed by the Championship Weekend. Here's every day:
Each match day awards points to the winning team only. Here's the full breakdown:
Maximum possible score: 100 points (50 weekly + 50 championship). The D5 winner also gets a +5 Head Start bonus applied to their D6 scoreboard.
The team that wins Day 5 (Search & Destroy BO5) earns a +5 point Head Start advantage for Day 6's Grand Final scoreboard. This means they begin Day 6 with 5 points already counted — rewarding strong S&D performance heading into the final. It is shown as "+5 HS" on the standings table next to the team's name.
Before every competitive match on Days 1–5, there is 1 warm-up practice match in the same room. The practice result does not count toward points — it is purely for team coordination and warmup. Day 6 (Grand Final) has no practice match before the competitive game.
Yes! Use the Solo (Individual) Entry option — it's free. Before Week 1 begins, admin will randomly group all solo entrants into teams of 5. You will receive your assigned team info and teammates' Discord tags in the #mpwc-schedule channel before the first match day.
Note: Solo entry pool teams are assembled on a best-effort basis. If the number of solo entrants isn't divisible by 5, remaining players may be waitlisted or given priority for the next week.
At the end of each month, the 4 weekly league champions (one from each of the 4 weeks) qualify for the Championship Weekend:
- Saturday — MPWC Semi-Finals: All 4 weekly champions compete in a Multi-Mode BO5/BO7 bracket. The 2 winning teams advance to the Grand Final.
- Sunday — MPWC Grand Final: The 2 semi-final winners face off in the Grand Final. After the team match, an MVP Solo FFA is held to crown the individual MVP of the Championship.
Championship prizes are organiser-funded and announced before each month's season begins.
Live standings are published on the Results page → MPWC Live Point Table. Standings update after each match day's results are entered by admin. You can see every team's per-day points, total score, qualification status, and champion badges.
