Top teams to watch out for

Luminosity Gaming, a North American club, has been in good form since the beginning of this year. This team has won almost all the tournaments that have been played so far in 2023. In May of this year, the organization signed Vague, Tectonic, and Marshy, who were part of the 2022 World Championship-winning team, Tribe Gaming.

In that same edition of the event, Luminosity Gaming was the runner-up and will aim to clinch the trophy this year.

Tribe Gaming experienced a sharp decline in their performance compared to their gameplay in 2022. However, they will still be one of the teams to follow in the COD Mobile World Championship 2023. It will not be easy for them to retain their title this year.

Powerhouse, a Singaporean team, has recently clinched the Garena Finals. The lineup is arguably one of the best COD Mobile squads around and will aim to meet their fans’ expectations in the World Championship Stage 5.

Chinese squads Team Wolves and Qing Jiu Club will also be among the top contenders for the title. They have performed amazingly in their regional competitions.

GodLike Esports from India, TLE from Mexico, and Kingsclan from Europe could also surprise fans with their gameplay in the COD Mobile World Championship 2023 Stage 5.
