In a blistering one-shot game of Warzone, Skullface – a previous World Series of Warzone champion – clutched up to secure the massive $100,000 prize. As he played out one of the most intense matches of his career in front of a live audience in London, Skullface took it down to the wire, taking advantage of a lofty position to secure the two final takedowns needed to bring home the bag. In the closing moments of this all-important match, Skullface burst into double figures in kills – and six figures in prize money.
It’s a one-of-a-kind event that was played out during a unique LAN – this was the first Warzone esports event of its kind, and what a memorable event it was. Every single one of the 150 competitors went into this match knowing that they could walk out $100,000 richer – but that was it, there were no prizes for second place. As one of the most legendary events in Warzone esports, the ‘SOLO YOLO’ can turn any player into a superstar overnight.
Skullface Claims The $100,000 Prize
In the past, the SOLO YOLO event has made champions of Seth ‘Scump’ Abner, one of the best Call of Duty players of all time, and a host of other players, including:
Chowh1
Blade
Fifakill
And now Skullface
This year, the World Series of Warzone took on a dramatically different path to qualification and format. It all began back before the summer, with the earliest qualification stages taking place. There was a series of regional finals lined up, which saw the likes of Team Aydan, Team Jukeyz, and Team Tommey all win big on some grand stages. Following these highly competitive rounds, there was an LCQ for both North America and Europe, and then it all came down to the Global Final.
Hosted in London, the Copperbox Arena became the home for Call of Duty esports overnight, accommodating hundreds of Warzone competitors. Skullface was amongst that crowd, and he stepped into the fray of the SOLO YOLO event with his head screwed on and his gunny as sharp as it could possibly be. Last year, during the World Series of Warzone Seaso 2 NA Trios tournament, Team Skullface – featuring the man himself – stepped away with a $200,000 grand prize.
Turning Competitors into Champions
It’s not often that these top-tier esports tournaments offer a winner-takes-all kind of prize – but that’s what SOLO YOLO is all about. It means that whoever wins the competition – in this case, Skullface – you are the best of the best when it comes to those other 149 competitors. For the most part, the SOLO YOLO event has remained consistent in the World Series of Warzone while other parts of the event have ebbed, flowed, and changed quite considerably over the years.
Now that both the Global Final and the SOLO YOLO event have wrapped up, fans are wondering what’s next for Call of Duty esports. On October 5th, we’re set to watch the Call of Duty NEXT showcase, which will reveal the future of Call of Duty alongside the Call of Duty esports scene. We’re waiting with bated breath to see when the Call of Duty League will start, but we should also discover what’s NEXT for the World Series of Warzone.
