$25k Warzone Code Red Showdown: Recap & Results

After a week full of custom game tournaments, BoomTV changed gears with the first major kill-race event in Caldera. Duos dropped into the new Warzone map and pushed the pace for more than eight hours all up.

Despite their win-streak in customs, the duo of Tommey & Almond were among the first eliminated here. Similarly, Rated & Aydan couldn’t quite push into the money this time around, as the highest-earning partners finished in fourth place.

Instead, it was DrDisrespect & ZLaner that dominated Caldera throughout the day. Together, this established duo rushed through the upper bracket, dropping just a single map ahead of the Grand Finals.

Ultimately, it came down to one final round as FaZe Swagg & Booya forced a bracket reset before extending the series to a game three. When all was said and done, they were able to stop Doc & Z’s momentum to secure a huge win for the Nuke Squad.
