$20K Warzone Wednesdays tournament recap

While the action started out hot with 16 star-studded teams battling through the first round of competition, some of the biggest names were wiped out early as the likes of Lil Yachty, McCreamy, and Drift0r,  all failed to make it through to the second round.

Certain squads showed up with impressive high-kill games but couldn’t quite make it through to the final rounds. CouRage ended the day with a top of 74 kills across two games for a third-place finish with Nadeshot and Cloakzy, while Clayster found 73 of his own in a fourth-place finish alongside Summit1G and Emongg.

Format and rules

Warzone Wednesdays is a single-elimination tournament, in which the 16 teams will be pitted against each other round by round until a winner gets decided.

It employs the popular ‘kill-race’ format, which essentially means that teams matched up against each other have to load into two separate Warzone matches and try to get as many eliminations as possible. After the two matches, the team with the more combined kills will advance, eliminating the losing squad.

In case there is a tie in the number of eliminations between the two teams at the end of the round, the following tie-breakers will be used in the order with which they are listed:

• Team with the player who had the highest individual eliminations.
• If still tied, move on to the second-highest individual eliminations on the team.
• Compare third-highest individual eliminations from both teams.
• Team with the most total damage for the overall games played in the match.

There is prizing for this event, set at $20,000, all of which will go to the winning team, so it’s definitely an all-or-nothing type event each week that it comes around!
