The Toronto Tsunami have become the first official professional women’s Call of Duty team, founded by Toronto Ultra streamer Overgirl.
Call of Duty League commentator Alyssa ‘Allycxt’ Parker founded the WxC, which is an all-woman CoD tournament. The tournament hosted two open qualifiers before narrowing the field down to eight teams.
The qualified teams compete in three weeks of seeding matches with a 10,000$ prize pool. Fans can tune in to Allycxt’s Twitch channel to watch, as the final week of seeding matches kicked off on May 1.
One of the tournament’s competitors already made CoD history, as Kelsie ‘Kels’ Grieg became the first woman to qualify for CDL Challengers Elite. The league continues to make history now, as the Toronto Tsunami has been announced.
