KEEMSTAR announces major change to Warzone Wednesday format Infinity Ward \/ KeemParkYouTuber Daniel \u2018KEEMSTAR\u2019 Keem has made some big changes to his weekly Warzone Wednesday tournament series, following the addition of Quads to the popular Call of Duty battle royale. Following the release of CoD\u2019s newest BR, KEEMSTAR\u2019s Warzone Wednesday has quickly become a fan-favorite affair, bringing together some of the biggest names in the online gaming community for a $20,000 weekly tournament. The competition employs a simple format \u2013 teams of three have a certain number of matches to get as many eliminations as possible, and the trios who have the most kills advance to the next round, all the way until a winner gets decided. However, that was put to an end on April 7, as the launch of Modern Warfare Season 3 replaced Trios with Quads, allowing players to queue into Warzone matches with four-player teams. On April 8, Keem announced that, due to this change, he will be overhauling the tournament\u2019s format into a 2v2 \u201ckill-race,\u201d much like how he hosted his popular Friday Fortnite series back in 2018 and 2019. \u201cThis tournament is about get even more entertaining than it has been,\u201d he said in a tweet. \u201cCall of Duty has allowed four-man squads to compete in Warzone, giving us the opportunity to run this tournament the exact same way we ran Friday Fortnite, allowing teams of two to go against each other.\u201d The premise of this kill-race format is simple: teams of two will face off against each other in a bracket by queuing into the same Quads game with the objective of trying to get more eliminations than their opponents. So, while they\u2019ll technically be teammates in-game, the two duos will go their separate ways once they drop down from the airplane, and the pair that end up with more combined kills will be determined the winner. \u201cThis is going to be super entertaining, this is going to change the game,\u201d he said, excitedly. \u201cThose teams got to go in there knowing there\u2019s another god squad of two and they\u2019re going to fight each other in the same lobby to get the most kills.\u201d This new format will go into effect starting from the next Warzone Wednesday on April 15, which will the fourth running of the tournament since its inception. The first three were highly-entertaining affairs; streamers JoshOG and Diegosaurs have come out on top in every one so far, the first two with HusKers and the most recent one with Ninja.
