Thousands of people including Warzone pro-Teep & Swagg were treated to unexpected disrespect during Twitch Rivals’ $400k World Series of Warzone Draft tournament stream. During the draft, someone showed the cam password link and a little kid used it to his advantage to show off his finger.
The World Series of Warzone is a big deal. Hosted by Twitch Rivals and Activision, the event has $400,000 in prizes and stars 150 of the greatest Warzone players around. And it all starts with a draft, where five big-time captains pick teams to represent them.
November 16 was North America’s draft, with the actual event scheduled for November 17. But the tens of thousands of viewers who tuned in early didn’t need to wait for an actual match to worry about hackers.
Instead, everyone got treated to a random, toxic surprise — as someone hacked Captain HusKerrs’ camera and proceeded to disrespect… everyone.
Somewhat surprisingly, everyone on the stream remained professional and ignored the surprise toxicity. The only one who seemed to notice was ShawnJ, who laughed and looked around with a bit of confusion.
But viewers and other streamers most definitely noticed, including JoeWo. The “movement king” reacted on Twitter, cracking up at “the little kid” who hacked into the call and gave everyone a taste of some CoD lobby energy.
