Black Ops 7's $1.8 Million Paris Bracket Locks In This Week

The Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 tournament at Esports World Cup 2026 runs August 5 through 9 in Paris, with 16 teams split into two GSL-format groups fighting for a $1.8 million prize pool. FaZe Clan, Movistar KOI, G2 Esports, and Gentle Mates all grabbed upper bracket wins in Group A, while OpTic Gaming and 100 Thieves advanced out of Group B. The top four teams from each group move on to an eight-team playoff bracket later this week.
