A controversy has emerged in the competitive Warzone community after it was revealed that the highly coveted World Series of Warzone trophy, featuring a skull, was not actually awarded to the winner. Instead, the champion, DiazBiffle, disclosed that a gold armor plate with an engraving will be sent to the winning team. The trophy displayed during the event broadcasts turned out to be a mere prop, leaving players disappointed.
DiazBiffle, a content creator for Complexity Gaming, emerged as the victor in the event, securing a prize of $100,000 USD from the total pool. However, the trophy they anticipated receiving was not what they had expected. The engraved gold armor plate is a significant downgrade in appearance compared to the impressive crowned skull showcased on stage.
Despite the disappointment surrounding the trophy, DiazBiffle and their team dominated the competition, amassing a total of 218.2 points. Their closest rivals scored only 143.4 points. The event took place in London, U.K., marking the second World Series of Warzone event in history.
Warzone, originally released as a complimentary game to the core Call of Duty franchise, has rapidly gained popularity and become one of the most played games worldwide. Its fast-paced gameplay, reminiscent of Call of Duty, rewards aggression and precise aim, making it a favorite among players. The ability to revive teammates multiple times in a match further amplifies the importance of skillful play.
Despite some players’ dissatisfaction with the latest iteration of Call of Duty, Warzone’s influence remains strong. Its appeal as a secondary option for many players ensures its longevity in the gaming industry.
However, it seems that winning players should not expect an impressive trophy to commemorate their victory in the World Series of Warzone.
