The yearly TST throwback tournaments have become something of a community favorite, and though 2021 has been the year of Warzone tournaments, these events offer fans and players a chance to step back into the past. For some people, this means reliving the glory days of their best games. For others, it’s all about experiencing something that’s been forgotten by time.

Whether you’re hoping to see retired pros return to their old virtual stomping grounds or how new CoD talent handles themselves in a classic environment, there’s something for everyone as we gear up for a return to Black Ops 2.

With teams like old Complexity and UNiTE set to take the battlefield, there are some good matchups you’ll want to catch.
