OpTic Texas just hosted the first major North American Warzone 2 tournament days after the game’s release. While it was ultimately WarsZ & zColorss who won the Champ Bracket & Cloakzy & Daltoosh who won the Creator Bracket, we’ve got you covered below with the full results.
Warzone 2 launched on November 16 and while not everything has been perfect, the sequel’s arrival marks the return of competitive Warzone events. Ever since Fifakill won the $100,000 World Series of Warzone 2022 Solo Yolo event at the beginning of September, it’s been relatively quiet as players looked forward to the new BR iteration.
With just a few days of experience under their belts, the best talent across NA dropped into Al Mazrah and fought for their share of $100K thanks to OpTic Texas.
One Day 1, it was the duo of Cloakzy & Daltoosh that led the pack in the Creator-side of the event, while on Day 2, WarsZ & zColorss proved to be unstoppable in the Champ Bracket. If you missed any of the action, be sure to check out the full results below.
