The format of Code Green
A total of 45 teams with three members each took part since Warzone is played in teams of three (at least until recently). Especially interesting was the format of the tournament: All teams had five hours to play matches and collect kills. The ranking or if and how many matches you won didn't matter. The number of eliminated enemies was the only factor when deciding the winners of the event.
It was played on PC as well as console and in public lobbies. The teams were allowed to leave games early and in the end, the kills from the five best matches were counted to determine the winner.
The prize money of $50,000 was divided among the top ten teams as follows:
- 1st: $15,000
- 2nd: $12,000
- 3rd: $6,000
- 4th: $4,400
- 5th: $3,300
- 6th: $2,700
- 7th: $2,100
- 8th: $1,800
- 9th: $1,500
- 10th: $1,200
$20,000 for spectators
As part of the tournament, CashApp paid out a total of $20,000 to spectators. To participate, all you had to do was follow the stream and when prompted, post your $CashTag in the chat.
