eUnited roasts KFC Gaming after announcement of UK-only Black Ops 4 Blackout tournament After teasing the event over the last few days, KFC Gaming has shared the first official details on their upcoming Blackout tournament for UK fans and players, but not everyone looks to be thrilled about it. KFC Gaming has been making a name for itself in the esports world mainly by issuing some incredible burns on Twitter, but will now amp things up a bit by holding a Blackout tournament as part of a new partnership with Call of Duty UK. The teases officially started on January 11 and only ramped up in the ensuing days ahead of January 14\u2019s official announcement. The event will feature a total of 16 content creators who will compete for their share of a \u00a350,000 prize pool, a KFC Black card, and more.

The first qualifier will take place on January 17 and will continue in the weeks leading up to the event. Of note, however, is that this tournament series will only be open to players in the UK. Popular esports organization eUnited noticed this fact and decided to poke a bit of fun at KFC, questioning the fact that KFC is named after a state in the US but is holding a tournament exclusive to the UK.

However, according to Gaz Beadle of the Geordie Shore \u2013 one of the 16 content creators featured in the event \u2013 pro players won\u2019t be allowed into the tournament, ending Clayster\u2019s hope of winning that elusive KFC Black Card. With all the joking and playful jabs aside, those hoping for a shot at playing in the tournament should keep an eye on their favorite content creators for more information on upcoming qualifiers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
