Pioneers Welcome Call of Duty Challengers Team

The Pioneers are thrilled to announce the newest addition to our competitive roster: our Call of Duty Challengers team! Representing the Pioneers are seasoned players Arcitys, Standy, oJhnny, Wrecks, and their talented coach, Jiren.

Call of Duty Challengers is the official path-to-pro circuit for aspiring Call of Duty esports players worldwide. With Challengers Cups and competitive ladders, players can earn Challengers Points, determining qualifications and seedings for premier events across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America.

The new Pioneers team wasted no time making waves, competing in the Call of Duty Challengers 2025 - Cup 1 from November 23-24. The tournament began with Stage 1, a best-of-5 format featuring all North American teams, where the top eight teams advanced. Stage 2 followed a double-elimination bracket, with best-of-5 matches and a best-of-7 Grand Final.

The Pioneers delivered a stellar performance in Stage 1, securing 3-0 victories over Unreal Nightmare and Galaxy Gaming. In Stage 2, the team continued their dominance, defeating LuInderJaSabby, FC Stallions, and OMiT Brooklyn - all 3-0 - to secure a spot in the Grand Final. Though the team fell short to CTE with a 0-4 loss in the Grand Final, the Pioneers proudly took home second place in their inaugural tournament.

We are excited to return to the Call of Duty competitive scene and couldn’t be prouder of our new team’s incredible debut performance. Join us in cheering them on as they continue their journey in the 2025 Challengers season. Stay tuned for more updates and follow the Pioneers' Call of Duty team as they set their sights on greatness!
