How to watch Hitch’s Black Ops 2 LAN tournament ft Crimsix, Karma & more – teams, schedule, stream, format

Former OpTic Gaming content creator and videographer Davis ‘Hitch’ Edwards has organized a throwback Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 tournament with the help of Activision, and we’ve got everything there is to know about it.

With the Black Ops 4 season having already wrapped up, competitive Call of Duty is in a bit of a lull right now, which is why Hitch has decided to put together a BO2 tournament featuring some biggest names in the community, both past and present.

Competing in this event will be top pro players, rosters, and prominent figures from the Search & Destroy scene, all facing off in what will be the first ever throwback event played on LAN.

The official name of this competition is the Team Summertime Movember Invitational – a partnership between Hitch’s content team TST and Movember, a charity that “tackles men’s health on a global scale.”

Although they won’t be all playing together, Fariko Impact’s legendary BO2 roster will be well represented at Hitch’s throwback event.
