CoD: Warzone is a game that allows for many different tactics in the professional arena. In tournaments, you often see impressive plays. In a qualifier for a 1 million dollar tournament, the player Shifty won with an incredible play.
What happened? On June 19, the WSOW Qualifiers took place. Those who perform here get a spot for the global final, which has a prize pool of 1 million USD (approximately 930,000 €). The team that manages to achieve 1st place in the final will receive 300,000 USD (via Dot Esports).
In the final of the NA 1 million dollar qualifier, the well-known player Shifty competed alongside his two teammates Biffle and Hisoka. At the end of the match, things didn’t look so good for Shifty, but he made an impressive move, allowing him to win.
In many e-sports scenes, there are great icons, but even they can’t keep up forever. This also happened to a Counter-Strike legend: A legendary Counter-Strike player is not participating in one of the major tournaments for the first time in 11 years
How did he play? You can watch the whole match on Warzone Nation on YouTube. There, you can see around 21:40 how the zone shrinks to its final point. Shifty, who at that point is the only one alive from his team, is inside the gas.
If he runs to the zone now, he would likely die. However, he runs away from the zone to a marked point of his teammate. There is a truck. Just barely, he survives the way to the truck and throws a PDS field on it, allowing him to drive with the truck for a while without taking damage.
With the truck, he then drives into the zone and runs over two players. Then he briefly drives out of the zone and kills the last player outside the zone. With this, he wins the qualifier for the big tournament for his team.
The play was also celebrated by the commentators and viewers. Shifty is considered one of the best Warzone players. The team of Shifty, Hisoka, and Biffle is already regarded as a favorite team. In CoD, there are regular crossovers for operator and weapon skins. However, a current bundle does not satisfy the players: The new crossover of Call of Duty and Fallout is making fans of both games unhappy
