Republic of Gamers and Mettlestate are back for the next iteration of the ROG Invitational. This time around, the tournament will feature the latest installment of the Call of Duty franchise, Call of Duty: Vanguard. This team-based competitive game has taken the esports by storm since its release in 2021. It managed to outsell all other releases of the year, despite only being released in September 2021. It’s no surprise that the ROG Invitational IV, alongside Intel Gaming, is broadening its scope of titles to include Call of Duty: Vanguard, as the title’s players are hungry for more quality competitive action.  

The qualifiers will take place online and run for a period of 3 weeks. The top teams from the group stages will face off in the playoffs, and the top teams will battle it out for the top 3 positions in the grand finals.
