Toronto Ultra is sitting silently in the off-season from the Call of Duty League, like many other teams. While the multiplayer-focused competitors are patiently playing the Black Ops 6 beta and waiting for the new season to start, the Warzone crew is busying itself with hosting a new tournament called Hot Drop.
Where Are We Dropping?
Sponsored by Monster Energy, Hot Drop is a $25,000 Warzone tournament that’ll feature some of the best players in the world, including Esports World Cup champions Biffle, Shifty, and Soka.
It’s as typical a Warzone tournament as you’d ever find, with teams flying into Urzikstan and attempting to net points by getting kills and high-placement matches, with bonus points being awarded for wins. After six matches, the first team to hit 125 points and then score a final win will walk away with the trophy and a $10,000 prize.
It’s the most understood format for battle royale-based esports tournaments, and it’s easy even for newcomers to follow the structure as it unfolds.
Hot Drop is taking place ahead of the World Series of Warzone Global Finals, which are taking place this month in Las Vegas. Last year, the event was held in the United Kingdom, which marked the first Call of Duty tournament to unfold across the pond in several years.
If you want to watch Hot Drop when it goes live on September 9, you can follow the action on Toronto Ultra’s Twitch channel.
