Code Red $25K Warzone Tournament: Results & Recap

The latest Warzone event kicked off with a bang as a number of top contenders dropped out of the running early on. The likes of HusKerrs, UnRationaL, and Jukeyz were all knocked down to the lower bracket after falling in their first matchups. It wasn’t long before certain Duos were completely out of the event, even HusKerrs and his partner Destroy failed to advance past the initial round.

On the opposite side, two teams were able to make it through to the semi-finals without dropping a map. Aydan & Rated along with Swagg & Booya blitzed through their first two opponents, lining up a heated showdown in the upper bracket. Ultimately, it was a swift 2-0 victory in favor of Aydan & Rated, punching their ticket to the winner’s finals against newbz & intechs.

Meanwhile, many former event winners met their match in the lower bracket. Some of the biggest names like TeePee, UnRationaL, and Tommey, were all knocked out of the running. It was Swagg & Booya that put up the impressive lower bracket run, cruising through to the loser’s finals. Their run eventually came to an end as they fell 0-2 against newbz & intechs. Therefore, the grand finals were set as a direct rematch of the winner’s finals.

After a long day of action, and plenty of waiting around for the eventual winners, Aydan & Rated repeated their winner’s final success. They took down newbz & intechs 2-0 in the final match of the day to secure the overall event win and $15,000.
