Update: While the Cash Grab went off without a hitch, the Gold Rush was less fortunate, scheduled to coincide with the release of Warzone Season 3, server issues on launch day forced it to reschedule. The details for the rescheduled event are below.
Warzone Season 3 is finally here, and to kick things off Atlanta FaZe and Activision are holding a huge Warzone tournament.
Atlanta FaZe $100K Gold Rush will take place on the first day of Season 3, followed by a $50K Cash Grab event, and both will bring together your favourite Warzone streamers and content creators to showcase their skills and introduce as to the early meta of the new season.
With all the changes coming to Warzone, including a brand new 80s Verdansk map, six new weapons, and a long list of balance changes, this tournament looks like a perfect opportunity for both content creators and fans to get familiar with all the changes and try to figure out what are the best weapons and loadouts during the early meta of Season 3.
With crème de la crème players of the NA region and all new stuff coming with Season 3, this tournament is something that Warzone players absolutely need to watch.
Here are all the details you should know about the event.
