Warzone Esports Thrives Amid Uncertainty
Even without an official Activision-backed circuit for 2026, Call of Duty: Warzone’s competitive scene continues to grow, drawing major organisations and fresh talent into the fold.
In December 2025, South Korean powerhouse T1 made its Warzone debut by signing a talented UK based trio led by former Team Vision star Echo. Meanwhile, Gen.G bolstered its lineup with the high profile addition of Aydan ‘Aydan’ Conrad, fresh off his Esports World Cup victory representing Twisted Minds.
The announcement of Pullze Check Ladder Season 1 with its $40,000 prize pool and open qualifiers marks another strong step forward for the ecosystem. It provides a vital platform for rising stars to compete directly against established pros, helping sustain momentum and attract even more organisational investment in Warzone esports.
