Teams who compete in Masters will have a chance to qualify for the Finals of the World Championship. The 2021 World Championship tournament has a $2 million prize pool, making it one of the most high-stakes mobile events in esports. 

There are five stages, being solo play, team play, regional qualifiers, regional playoffs, and the finals. Individual players who advance from solo play will compete in team play.
