FormaL explains why $1.2m World Series of Warzone is facing an uphill battle ActivisionThe announcement of the World Series of Warzone was met with huge excitement from the Warzone community, but OpTic Chicago pro Matthew \u2018FormaL\u2019 Piper has some reservations about it. The tournament series \u2014 which will feature trio and duo tournaments in both Europe and North America \u2014 has a total $1.2 million prize pool, with the very best pros and creators vying for the chance to compete. With names such as Tommey, Aydan, HusKerrs are expected to be involved, all 12 Call of Duty League teams will also be able to select a squad to compete too. Despite that, FormaL isn\u2019t completely convinced by the concept and has spoken a little about his thoughts on the WSOW. Appearing on the OpTic podcast, the topic naturally moved onto the huge announcement, as Warzone\u2019s biggest tournament series yet. \u201cThat\u2019s the problem: it\u2019s so hard to get a perfect system,\u201d he said when discussions around the format came up. \u201cYou could say \u2018let\u2019s throw them all in a custom lobby\u2019 but then you just have everyone in houses getting cracked in the windows. That\u2019s not that fun to watch.\u201d He continued, saying that the alternative solution isn\u2019t much better either. \u201cOr, it\u2019s like, go to bot lobbies. Now you have all these different things like the cheating, the f**king VPNs, you know what I\u2019m saying?\u201d Topic starts at 17:55 He went on to say that it would be \u201csick\u201d if the tournament format was based strictly on kills, with placement meaning \u201cnothing\u201d \u2014 though teammate Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner disagreed, saying that placement \u201chas to have some meaning.\u201d According to the official World Series of Warzone announcement, points will be based on kills in custom lobbies, with multipliers dependent on placement. This is very similar to a Twitch Rivals tournament won by Tommey in April, which fans and players alike really enjoyed. This could be the middle ground that FormaL would be happy with. The World Series of Warzone kicks off on June 23, with Open Qualifiers taking place on June 20.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
