Com2uS Reveals Summoners War World Arena Championship 2021 Plans
Com2uS revealed plans this week for not one but two major events, including the Summoners War World Arena Championship 2021. While it wasn't made clear as to whether or not the tournaments will eventually culminate into in-person competitions, it's pretty clear that most of these will be taking place online as they ramp up to the championship rounds. We got details for both below, as well as the official tournament notice here.
Summoners War World Arena Championship 2021
Summoners War World Arena Championship is back for 2021. For the safety of participants, SWC2021 will be held online without any spectators and players traveling. In order to provide a fair gameplay environment, Com2uS is introducing the "Best of 5" (BO5) rule for the regional cup qualifier matches and all matches of Regional Cups and World Finals.
- Total Prize Pool: $210,000
- Preliminary: BO5 for regional cup qualifier decision matches (BO3 for all other matches)
- Regional Cups and World Finals: BO5 for all matches
Player Selection Criteria
Records of the World Arena seasons 16 and 17 will count for selecting the preliminary participants. Player selection will be based on individual scores for each season, not the combined scores of the World Arena season 16 and season 17. However, the latest results will be considered first for the seed, and the preliminary matches will be organized as follows:
- Summoners who wish to participate in the SWC2021 but didn't play in the World Arena Season 16, will need to play in the ongoing World Arena season 17.
- SWC2021 will be held without any seed advantages for players who played in the last year's SWC2020.
Important Dates

- Preliminaries: July 23 – August 21
Regionals
- Americas Cup: September 12, 11 AM PT
