In the Code Red tournament of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, numerous big players from CoD faced off against streamers like Ninja or DrDisrespect. In the end, however, a Fortnite streamer triumphed.
This was the tournament: The “Code Red” tournament challenged 2-player teams in Gunfight against each other. In the end, there was a prize pool of $10,000, of which the winner received $5,000.
The organizer BoomTV advertised with names like Ninja, DrDisrespect, and Reverse2k. However, there were also numerous legends from the CoD world, such as Karma or FormaL.
In the end, the winner surprised quite a few: Fortnite pro Aydan and his teammate John “2Pac ThuGLorD” won the tournament and made the CoD experts look foolish.
Fortnite Pro wins CoD tournament
Here are the winners: Aydan is primarily known among Fortnite players. He made headlines in October when he searched for bad teammates to manipulate matchmaking. For Call of Duty, however, he is not as well known.
His teammate 2Pac ThuGLorD is currently a rising star in the CoD scene. He is accumulating more and more successes in Modern Warfare.
This is what makes the victory so remarkable: Aydan is likely a surprising winner for many players. After all, the competition was tough, especially as Karma and FormaL are known as CoD streamers. The latter caused a stir shortly before the release of Modern Warfare when Twitch mistakenly banned his account.
Despite the strong competition from streamers who play Modern Warfare for several hours daily, the Fortnite streamer prevailed and secured the prize money.
Generally, Fortnite and its eSports are often seen in a negative light. Many pros argue that Fortnite is not made for eSports and that one is only there to collect high prize money. Various bugs or new items change the meta just before important tournaments. Therefore, it is even more remarkable that a Fortnite pro has shown his Call of Duty colleagues how seriously the eSports scene of Fortnite can be taken.
How do viewers react to this? They are surprised by the winner. On Twitter, they are demanding an explanation of how a Fortnite player could outplay all the CoD pros.
Many viewers had suspected that a team of CoD players would win. After all, they deal with Modern Warfare on a daily basis.
