OpTic Texas is hosting the first major North American Warzone 2 tournament just days after the game’s release. Here’s everything you need to know about the $100,000 event, from where you can tune in, to a look at the teams involved.
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.
Now with a few days of experience under their belts, the best talent across NA will be dropping into Al Mazrah and fighting for their share of $100K. Here’s everything you need to know.

OpTic Texas $100k Warzone 2 tournament: Format
The $100,000 Warzone 2 event features a mix of different competitions. Up first comes a $25K content creator-focused portion, wherein, 16 of the biggest CoD personalities will do battle in a double-elimination bracket. This side of the event follows standard 2v2 kill race rules.
Alongside is a $75K ‘Champ bracket.’ Here, 32 teams start out in a swiss stage. Once again, standard 2v2 kill race rules apply but Duos must win three of their matchups to advance. Lose three and they’re done. Once this section wraps, the field will be halved.
On Tuesday, the remaining 16 Duos compete through a double-elimination bracket until a winner is crowned.
