Warzone streamer FaZe Kalei calls for other CoD stars to swap to Apex Legends Instagram, kaleirenay \/ Activision \/ EACall of Duty: Warzone\u2019s new Pacific, Caldera map, and Vanguard integration have failed to secure the game\u2019s renaissance. Instead, FaZe Kalei is echoing Aydan and suggesting a pivot to rival BR, Apex Legends. For months upon months after its March 2020 release, Warzone was the most-watched battle royale on Twitch. Eventually, the game\u2019s solitary Verdansk map grew stale and Apex Legends overtook the title in November 2021. Hopes were high for a Warzone renaissance arc with Vanguard\u2019s integration and the debut of its first new large-scale map, Caldera, in December 2021. But those aspirations were short-lived, as a number of issues plague the game. Warzone\u2019s quality testers are still apparently on strike, the game has invisible skins, and the holiday update\u2019s Krampus introduction simply infuriated players. And now, some of the biggest streamers are tilted to the point that they\u2019re looking elsewhere. Warzone streamer FaZe Kalei promotes switch to Apex Legends In a response to an Aydan tweet saying how \u201crefreshing\u201d Apex was, Kalei poked at the premise of switching titles too. Not holding any punches, she put it very simply: \u201cWe should just all switch to apex.\u201d This comes shortly after NICKMERCS urged streamers to follow in his footsteps and leave Warzone for Apex\u2019s greener pastures. And, it seems that \u2013 with Aydan already dabbling in it \u2013 Kalei thinks other players should maybe follow suit. Today is the first day I am not going to play Warzone. Gonna be tough for sure and hurts the feels, but that game sucks and needs some changing before I hop on again. Silver 1 in Apex, goal is to hit Platinum tonight! \ud83d\ude06 \u2014 Aydan (@aydan) December 29, 2021 While Kalei hasn\u2019t made the jump quite yet, it seems that Aydan is starting to make the swap. In a December 29 tweet, he explained that he\u2019s taking a break from Warzone and prioritizing EA\u2019s BR. This also comes directly after he called for a ranked playlist in Warzone, a competitive mode which exists in Apex and has been ignored by CoD\u2019s devs for over a year now. With Warzone\u2019s viewership numbers and tournament prize pools, it\u2019s hard to imagine people fully moving away. But it\u2019s still a concerning pattern. A new map wasn\u2019t enough to bring NICKMERCS back from EA\u2019s grips, so one has to wonder if others will follow in his path.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
