KEEMSTAR’s Warzone Wednesday returns on April 1 for week two

Streaming royalty and celebrity guests are headed for another clash in the second week of Warzone Wednesday on April 1, hosted by YouTube star Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem.

For the inaugural Warzone Wednesday event, the trio made up of JoshOG, HusKerrs and Diegosaurs were able to pile up 369 eliminations on their way to collecting the winner-take-all pot of $20,000.

Now they’ll look to defend their top billing in the second week of the competition against new blood, and some familiar faces who’ll want to deny a back-to-back win for the triumphant streaming stars.

But the event organizers are also giving fans a chance to test their mettle against the star-studded field, with open invites now involved too.

Starting April 1, anyone will be able to sign up to compete for a chance at the Play-In entry for the April 8 iteration of Warzone Wednesday.

The team made up of random fans will facilitate the tourney’s mission of being “a place where everyone can play with gaming legends, and perhaps become one,” according to the event organizers.

To be considered for the Play-In entry, players should submit their applications to the KeemPark website. Form entries will open Wednesday, April 1 at 3 PM EST / 12 PM PST and close on the following Tuesday at 12 PM EST / 9 AM PST.
