After an intense year of action in the Clash Royale League (CRL), the top eight players have been selected for the 2024 World Finals. Taking place from Nov. 1 to 3, at the Helsinki Exhibition and Convention Center in Finland, there’s a lot at stake. Besides the title of world champion, a prize pool of $500,000 is on the line, with the winner walking away with $200,000 alone.
Life-changing money aside, the event will take place at the Super Fest where the finals for Brawl Stars and Clash of Clans World Championship will also happen. This is the first time that three Supercell games are hosting their year-end esports event together. Here’s everything you need to know about the Clash Royale League (CRL) World Finals 2024.

The World Finals features the top players from the monthly finals along with the top player from community tournaments, as per the 2024 Clash Royale esports plans. A separate China qualifier was also held.
There are many interesting storylines in this year’s CRL World Finals. However, two of the most interesting involve Mohamed Light and Pedro.
Firstly, let’s start with Mohamed Light, one of the most decorated players. Aged just 20, the Egyptian has been competing professionally in Clash Royale tournaments since he was just 16 years old.
The player came second in the 2021 World Finals but found redemption a year later as he became the world champion. Therefore, he was, without a doubt, one of the favorites going into the 2023 World Finals. However, the defending world champion got knocked to the lower bracket in his first match, before being eliminated at a lowly 7th-8th place.

Nonetheless, he has been in hot form in 2024, winning several CRL seasons and community tournaments. Mohamed Light is in Finland only for one thing – and that is reclaiming his throne. There’s a lot that stands in his way, including the immensely talented Brazilian – Pedro.
Pedro was the runner-up in the 2023 World Finals and has made it to Finland after placing second in the Season 3 CRL 2024. However, Mohamed Light, who had already qualified, was ahead of him so he earned the ticket to the World Finals. While the player has had a mediocre season overall, his antics in the 2023 World Finals remind everyone why he isn’t to be dismissed.
You can tune into all the action on the Clash Royale Esports YouTube channel as well as the Clash Royale Twitch channel.
