The current Duos world record holders, Aydan, MuTeX finished among the top two teams throughout the kill-race. They qualified for the second day of competition along with relative newcomers, ‘Gangstazsalute and ‘Yungstaz6.’

In the very first round, streaming superstars and Call of Duty icons alike all matched up right out of the gate. DrDisrespect and FormaL immediately went up against Nadeshot and Tommey in a close match. Just seven eliminations split the teams but ultimately, it was the two-time and the former world champion that made it through.

Former Warzone event winners HusKerrs and Symfuhny were there to meet them in the second round and proved to be too strong. Ultimately, it was three-peat Warzone Wednesday champs Vikkstar and ItzWarsz that cruised through their tournament run. They made it to the grand finals unscathed, where they fought in a rematch against HusKerrs and Symfuhny.

This final series proved to be the closest matchup of the entire event. The very first map came down to the wire with just two kills putting HusKerrs and Symfuhny ahead. They carried that momentum through to the second map and managed to reset the bracket entirely.  After a grueling struggle, it was Vikkstar and ItzWarsz who took home first prize, despite going down early in the very last map.
