Trackmania World Championship Is Ubisoft's Last As They Leave Competition To The Community In Favor Of Development

The Trackmania World Championship Final Stage is upon us, kicking off on November 24th and running through November 26th. There is no live audience for this event, so the devs are encouraging fans to tune in and watch the racing game's event live on Twitch.

The Top 8 qualifying teams for the Trackmania World Championship Final Stage are:

-Alliance (Mudda & Soulja)

-Berlin International Gaming (GranaDy & Massa)

-Gamers First (Binkss & Gwen)

-Into the Breach (Affi & mime)

-Karmine Corp (bren & Otaaaq)

-Split (Epos & Razii) (New!)

-Solary (CarlJr. & Pac)

-Wylde (Stufts & Whizzy) (New!)

In the group stage, the 8 teams will be divided into two groups, each consisting of 4 teams. The top 3 teams from each group will advance to the next stage. All matches will be Best-of-Seven.

The Playoffs will be a 6-team single elimination bracket played in a Best-of-Nine. One champion will be crowned.

There is, however, some sad news for Trackmania fans, as this will be the final Trackmania World Championship produced by developer Ubisoft Nadeo. They released the following statement regarding the future of the Trackmania World Championship:

"We also would like to share the news that the studio will not be producing the Trackmania World Tour in 2024. The esports ecosystem is increasingly qualitive but demanding and Ubisoft Nadeo must refocus on its core activity of content development. These last four years have seen an active involvement of many people, and we would like to thank them a lot for playing a significant role in this venture.

"We believe this could mark the beginning of a new chapter for the future, like Trackmania experienced in the past thanks to key people outside of the studio. With the support of Ubisoft Nadeo, these individuals created new events, at crucial moments, such as ESWC, Trackmania Cup and Pro League, just to name the biggest ones."
