Chipotle Warzone Challenger winners explain how they dominated matches Chipotle [jwplayer kCHVIVxy]Following their victory in the $50,000 Chipotle Challenger Series\u2019 Warzone Challenge on April 30, the winning team\u2019s captain \u2018Almxnd\u2019 gave some insight on their mentality coming in as well as how they were able to be so successful. Out of all the invited big-name teams competing in the Chipotle Warzone Challenge Finale, it was one of the 32 qualifier squads that ended up last ones standing, taking home the $25,000 and a year\u2019s worth of burritos. AlmxndTV, FluffyHippo1927, Intechs, and Insxte, who qualified all the way back in week one, put up 97, 96, 81, and 75 points in their four matches to finish with a total of 349, a whopping 34 more than the second-place team. But how were they so successful? Speaking with caster Chris Puckett and Clint \u2018Maven\u2019 Evans following the event, Almxnd explained how it all started with them having a \u201cchip on their shoulder.\u201d \u201cNot a lot of people know us, we mostly just play Warzone wagers and competitive tournaments in the CoD community. But we\u2019re all kind of nasty.\u201d \u201cNo one really knows who we are, so we did really have a bit of a chip on our shoulder, I guess,\u201d he added, when Maven asked him about being left out of most invite-only competitions. Confidence is key in these types of tournaments, and the team captain admitted that they came in feeling as though they were one of the best in the field. \u201cI definitely knew we were one of the top teams, one of the teams we were worried about was Dillster, Gangstaz,\u201d he said. \u201cIn the first qualifier, we got second and that was the team that beat us. Besides that though, there weren\u2019t really many teams I was worried about.\u201d Read More: Warzone April 30 update brings back Bounties – As for how they were able to put up such high-kill games and monstrous points, Almxnd gave a glimpse at the behind-the-scenes strategies that paved their path to victory. \u201cOur strat, I would grab a helicopter and the rest of our team would land at Superstore. I\u2019d fly the heli to them, we\u2019d slay out Superstore, and then just take the heli around the map basically. We\u2019d usually two-two split, sometimes three-one. We were just chasing dots around the map, basically, with UAVs.\u201d You can check out the full interview below, starting at the 4:16:00 mark of the tournament VOD.
