NHL 19 Gaming World Championship 2019 has new format
This year’s NHL 19 Gaming World Championship brings with it a game mode change. As mentioned, NHL 19’s Hockey Ultimate Team (HUT) will be the new format. The aspect of this that will make things unique and take some strategy is which HUT teams gamers are able to use.
During online qualifiers, gamers are fully allowed to use their very own HUT teams to compete. Once they get to the Regionals and Finals, that all changes. There will be a “fixed pool of 280 NHL players” available in a “serpentine draft.” So gamers will need to strategically create HUT rosters once they’re in those deeper stages of the competition.

The Online Open Play will become available right in the NHL 19 video game. Once gamers get to the second part of the online qualification, third-party esports company Battlefly will host the competition on their platform.
Registration opened as of Mar. 6 and doesn’t close until Mar. 31. Once Online Open Play ends on Apr. 7, the “Play-In Bracket” competition begins for each region from Apr. 13 through May 4. Here are some of the key dates for the upcoming NHLGWC:
