Ben Spoont, CEO and co-founder of Misfits Gaming Group, saw the event as a way to give back to the community and bring exciting entertainment to many fans of both football and esports.
“It’s always incredible to see pro players go head to head with professional athletes,” said Spoont. “And after the fun we had at our Miami event in February with the Mutineers and NFL players, we were excited to bring the esports and sports worlds together again for an entertaining showdown that’s helping a fantastic cause.”
The tournament will shuffle the NFL athletes with CoD pros and streamers to compete in a one-day Warzone tournament, comprised of twelve four-man squads. All teams will leave the tournament with a participation prize to donate to their chosen COVID-19 charity while the winning team will receive US$5,000 as a championship prize.
