ZooMaa returns to pro Call of Duty for World Series of Warzone with Clayster & Asim Activision \/ Twitter: ZooMaaFive months after having to walk away from competitive Call of Duty, New York Subliners veteran Thomas \u2018ZooMaa\u2019 Paparatto has announced his return to the spotlight with the upcoming World Series of Warzone event. After competing at the highest level for the better part of a decade, ZooMaa announced he would be taking a \u201cstep back\u201d in January; the veteran star was forced into retirement ahead of the 2021 Call of Duty League season due to a nagging issue with his thumbs. Despite leaving the pro grind, ZooMaa has been more active than ever before as a content creator. His Twitch stream has been on the rise and \u2018The Flank\u2019 talk show has become a fan-favorite in the community. After months of sitting back and watching the CDL play out, he\u2019s ready to pick up the sticks once again. It won\u2019t be as a starting member of the Subliners roster, however. Instead, ZooMaa is getting ready to drop into Verdansk. Competing in the World Series of Warzone w\/ @Clayster & @GstaAsim!#NYSL \u2014 NYSL ZooMaa (@ZooMaa) June 6, 2021 Activision unveiled the World Series of Warzonze tournament on May 19. This elite competition boasts a $1.2 million prize pool and features a range of top streamers and CDL pros. While we\u2019re still a few weeks out, some of these formidable squads have already begun forming. OpTic just announced their trio of Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner, Matthew \u2018FormaL\u2019 Piper, and Damon \u2018Karma\u2019 Barlow. Now, Subliners have put a returning ZooMaa alongside his NYSL brethren James \u2018Clayster\u2019 Eubanks and Obaid \u2018Asim\u2019 Asim. $300,000 will be on the line as the first leg of the competition kicks off on June 23. No exact format is locked in just yet, though it\u2019s clear that Verdansk will be filled to the brim with top competitors on that day. Whether it\u2019s a private lobby or a public kill-race, it may be the most intense Warzone competition we\u2019ve seen yet. After five long months on the CDL sidelines, we\u2019ll finally get to see ZooMaa sliding around the map again. It\u2019s unclear at this stage just how ZooMaa might be competing. Given his thumb injury, using a controller might be problematic. Keyboard and mouse could be the play, though that\u2019s not to say a few hours of controller finesse is out of the question. ZooMaa has been grinding out League Play here and there with a controller, so it may still be possible as a one-off. Before we see him styling across Verdansk, brush up on everything there is to know about the World Series of Warzone event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
