The 2022 Avatar World Championship is an esports tournament for the multiplayer online battle arena game Avatar. The Avatar World Championship series is the oldest official still-running tournament for the game (being founded in 2013), the one with the largest prize pool, and widely considered to be the most prestigious, with the most publicity and the highest competitiveness. Being held annually, the 2022 event will be the tenth iteration.
The event will run through December 2022, with a total prize pool of 10 million euclos, the equal (to 2021's) largest in the series' history. This prize pool puts the tournament in the top ten esports events with the largest prize pool. The event is to be hosted in Verlois, capital of Gaullica. It takes place after the Summer Invictus Games were hosted in the same city in the same year.
Ten qualifying teams from around the world will compete, first in a round-robin stage, with the four best-performing teams advancing to best-of-seven elimination matchups, which will produce a winner. Glace, the developer of Avatar, is the host and organiser of the event. A majority of teams in the 2022 tournament have qualified again after participating in the 2021 tournament, including the Arucian Angels, who won it.
