How to watch Hitch’s $10K Modern Warfare Bot tournament ft. Dr Disrespect, Scump, more – streams, teams, bracket, format

Popular NRG content creator Davis ‘Hitch’ Edwards and online gaming event organizers BoomTV are hosting a $10,000 Modern Warfare ‘Birthday Bot Bash’ tournament featuring some of the biggest names in the Call of Duty community.

With January 7 being his birthday, Hitch decided what better way to celebrate his special day than by putting together a massive Modern Warfare tournament, featuring many of the most popular Call of Duty content creators and pro players.

Called the “Birthday Bot Bash,” Hitch’s tournament is a 4v4 Search and Destroy competition, but with a major wrinkle – each team has one veteran-level Bot to go along with their three main players.

This means that some of the results will come down to how these AI Bots perform in-game, and some of what they do could end up determining which teams get a share of the $10,000 prize pool.
