Villainous Warzone pro uses streamer\u2019s fiancee as bait for easy kill Activision \/ PexelsCall of Duty: Warzone players need a blend of mechanical skill and strategic know-how. And pro player Almond showed off the latter when he devilishly realized he could use another streamer\u2019s fiancee as bait. Most of the Warzone pros know each other fairly well. Ever since the game\u2019s March 2020 release, these players have familiarized themselves by playing with and against each other on a weekly basis. And now, Ben \u2018Almond\u2019 Rosendahl has used that personal knowledge for his own gain. Almond and Rhys \u2018Rated\u2019 Price are both among Warzone\u2019s top 10 earners and have spent countless hours interacting. As such, Almond is familiar with some personal details of Rated\u2019s life. More specifically, he knows Rated\u2019s fiancee by name and gamer tag. So, in a twist of villainous brainpower, the pro used their relationship for his benefit. It\u2019s part funny, part evil, and part a lesson in why you should strategically assess your enemies. Warzone pro uses streamer\u2019s love life against him Still can’t believe @Almxnd_ used @Rated_COD’s fiancee against him like this \ud83d\udc80pic.twitter.com\/inGbd0Z6O0 \u2014 Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) October 13, 2021 As you can see in the clip, Almond downed someone and \u2014 right before finishing them off \u2014 suddenly paused. A moment later, he let out a chuckle and let viewers know he recognized the gamertag: \u201cWait\u2026 I\u2019m pretty sure this is Morg and Rhys, hold on.\u201d After quickly hiding, waiting for Rated to come and rescue his damsel in distress, Almond heard the revive and popped back out. Then, in the blink of an eye, he had downed both and started teabagging Rated\u2019s body. From the sudden trap to mid-teabag laughter, this is about as much supervillain energy as you can get in a game of Warzone. In the replies to Almond\u2019s tweet, people easily understood why his tactic worked out. As one user responded, \u201clove is powerful.\u201d Rated\u2019s fiancee, Morgan, laughed it off too. With Almond and Rated both nestled among the game\u2019s best, the relationship between the three is familiar so no one took things personally. But, for casuals, there\u2019s something to learn from this strategy. While players are unlikely to know the love lives of their opponents, this proves two things. First, it\u2019s good to pay attention to enemies you down (checking gamertags, listening to death comms). And second, sometimes you should wait to finish someone \u2014 setting a trap and using them as bait could give you two kills for the price of one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
