CoD pros react to not being invited to $250K Modern Warfare tournament Several professional Call of Duty players and star content creators expressed their frustrations with Activision for not inviting them to their $250,000 Modern Warfare Streamer Invitational tournament. Set to take place on December 10, the Modern Warfare Streamer Invitational features 20 \u201chand-picked Twitch streamers\u201d split into four teams competing against each other for $250,000 in prize money and \u201csupreme bragging rights.\u201d While there are some CoD-related streamers playing, like TeeP and Hitch, many quickly noticed Activision had omitted some of the community\u2019s biggest names. Instead, they opted to go with a mixed bag that includes Fortnite pros such as Team Liquid\u2019s Vivid and NRG\u2019s Symfuhny, GTA roleplay stars LordKebun and Spaceboy, Overwatch pro Seagull, and more. ACHES, captain of the Los Angeles Guerrillas team and a very outspoken player, was quick to point this out in a sarcastic tweet. Speaking of sarcastic tweets, none were more so than Crimsix\u2019s post, as the Dallas Empire star took the trolling to a whole new level by announcing that he too was competing at the event when he actually wasn\u2019t. Fans were quick to realize that he was trolling when they saw him name former Halo pro \u2018SUDDOTH2\u2019 and legendary Formula One racing driver Fernando Alonso as two of his teammates. HUGE NEWS! Tomorrow I am teaming up with Aches, Clayster, Pamaj, SUDDOTH2, and Fernando Alonso in the Call of Duty Streamer Invitational! This is for $250k!!! Starts at 4pm PST! #COD_Partner #Modernwarfare @CallofDuty https:\/\/t.co\/rKQmuE74CE \u2014 FaZe Crimsix (@Crimsix) December 9, 2019 Pamaj, who Crimsix jokingly named as one of his teammates, also had something to say about his omission. Unlike some of the pro players who aren\u2019t massive content creators, Pamaj is as big as it gets when it comes to CoD YouTubers, so he had a reasonable bone to pick.

Speaking of big names in the community, none are bigger than Chicago Huntsmen stars Scump and FormaL, who are known as the T2P duo after coining the phrase \u2018Time to Pound\u2019 during the OpTic Gaming days. Neither of them were invited to compete in this tournament, which FormaL and Scump both definitely took notice of on social media. While not a pro player anymore, NAMELESS also chimed in with his disbelief at some of the names that were included on the list of \u2018CoD Partners\u2019 and the $250K tournament. Seeing some people on this #codpartner list in this 250k tournament. Shocking but wow grats on the cash! pic.twitter.com\/Gy8byA050E \u2014 Anthony Wheeler (@NAMELESS) December 9, 2019 Despite the outrage from Call of Duty pro players, content creators, and the general fan-base, it doesn\u2019t look like Activision will be making any changes to the list of streamers they invited to compete in their $250,000 tournament. The competition will be taking place on Tuesday, December 4, kicking off at 4 PM PT \/ 7 PM ET live on Twitch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
