The prize pool for the solo match has also decreased. Compared to the traditional $100,000 prize pool in Solo Yolo, it will be $50,000 this year, with the winner taking it all. Call of Duty has disclosed that this decision has been taken to shift more of the overall preparation to the global final tournament. With a $1 million prize pool, players will have a lot to fight for.
