Call Of Duty Players Compete In Person, Despite Tournament Officially Moving Online - Kotaku

Video on social media appears to show Call of Duty: Modern Warfare players gathering in person during an amateur tournament, American Gaming Network’s Indianapolis Open, despite the event officially being moved online due to concerns over covid-19.

Players were to be required to wear face masks, organizers said the event would conduct temperature checks, and sign-up included a “COVID-19 Liability Release Waiver.” Last night, AGN moved the event online, with COO of AGN events Gage Cash writing a statement that read, “After discussions with representatives from Activision, we are deciding to change the Indianapolis Open to be online only, for health and safety concerns.”.

While the last-minute move to online likely meant many players were already in Indianapolis for the event, playing together in person isn’t the smartest move right now, since gathering in indoor spaces is widely considered risky due to covid-19.
