“Thank You for Not Letting a RIOT Shield Win”: Call of Duty Fans Rejoice as Skullface Wins $100,000 Solo Yolo Prize at World Series of Warzone

When it comes to the competitive side of games, very few titles can match the level of Call of Duty Warzone. Even just playing a normal game of Warzone can leave you with an elevated heart rate as you try to survive the last few circles. Raise the bar to a competitive scene and you have an entirely new scale of pressure. And that is where the World Series of Warzone comes in.

A high-risk, high-reward situation that gave the chance for the victor to win a six-figure sum. As events unfolded in the Solo Yolo competition, one player took the win in a massive clutch-up.

Winner crowned after a tense match-up at the World Series of Warzone

In the dying moments of the game, Skullface clutched up big time as he downed two players to take the win. And in doing so, the player won the Solo Yolo prize money of $100,000.

As the ending circles got tighter, three players remained in play. With each of them going to the center of the circle, it evolved into a stand-off. Luckily for the eventual winner, the player was in the prime spot and poised to take a win. He was on some pipes that gave him a better vantage point and unleashed a torrent of bullets at them.

He gave up his vantage point to seize an opportunity after downing one of the players. The second one, a RIOT Shield user tried to flee but ended up giving Skullface the win.

Fans cannot believe it

While the win was quite special for everyone involved, the fans took a particular delight in this one stat. It was not a RIOT Shield player who won. Truly shows the way the RIOT Shield changed the game, and came under fire for allowing an easy out for the players.

At the same time, it took fans on a trip down memory lane, with a legendary call-back this fan made. It was only fitting that fans drew parallels to Star Wars, with a classic GIF.

It seemed the Star Wars reference was not enough to keep all the Shield haters at bay. There was a big call to ban this piece of equipment in official tournaments. Fans believe it makes for poor gameplay, especially if players simply hide behind virtually unbreakable objects in every fight.

All in all, it was a wave of support for Skullface as he beat 149 other players to take the win.
