In Call of Duty: Warzone four Twitch streamers set a record in Quads. They killed 162 players in one match: But with this record, they are receiving a lot of criticism. The elite players were in a lobby full of beginners. The world record was set in “Bronze Tier 1.”
This is how the record was achieved: On March 5, four Twitch streamers were actually playing against each other in Call of Duty: Warzone. The players were:
- Aydan (2 million followers) and Almxnd (22,000 followers)
- They played against Newbz (26,000 followers) and ScummN (16,500 followers)
All of them are excellent players, even though only one of them, former Fortnite star Aydan, is really big on Twitch.
The four made a bet. It was about who would get more kills in a “2vs2 Wager” in a race. To do this, they started a match as a team of four and went hunting in two separate duos to achieve as many kills as possible.
They bet $500 on Twitch subs.
In a lobby of Call of Duty: Warzone, 150 players play. During their duel, the four Twitch streamers collected 162 kills – they practically killed every player in the lobby and some even multiple times when the poor guys returned from the Gulag.
According to the US website Dexerto, the streamers again use the Warzone tactic of gifting money to the opponent so they can respawn and the pros can kill them again to increase their kill count.
What kind of record was that? The Twitch streamer Aydan then went on Twitter and announced that they had set a “New World Record in Squad”. This will never be broken now.
In fact, the 162 kills were a new record. The old record of 143 kills was set in January.
The English YouTube video of Aydan’s record is embedded here for you:
“Bullshit and complete fraud”
This is the discussion: A user on Reddit later discovered that the impressive record of the four streamers was achieved in a “Bronze 1” tier lobby. This is the lowest lobby difficulty in Call of Duty: Warzone. So the four practically only killed beginners and pretty bad players to set their world record.
Therefore, the record is considered by some users as “bullshit” and “complete fraud”. Such a record is worth nothing if it was achieved against such players, says a user on Twitter.
One calculates:
- The weakest player in Aydan’s team had a kill-death ratio of 4.97. He practically killed 5 players before he died once.
- However, the average in the whole lobby was 0.89: This means that most players in this lobby die significantly more often than they kill.
For some commentators, this is clear evidence that the four streamers had to face very weak opponents.
“Bronze Tier” lobby was an anomaly
This is what the streamers say themselves: One of the players, Amoxnd, admits: “The lobby we played in was an anomaly.”
Normally, even pros have to deal with strong players. Of the 20 lobbies they have played in, 16 were Diamond lobbies.
For the four Twitch streamers, the “Bronze Tier” lobby was something like a gift that they then used. For the players who landed in a lobby with these four pros, it was certainly not a gift. This is reminiscent of poor TimTheTatman, who had to be farmed by a Call of Duty pro until he screamed and whined;
