The London Royal Ravens’ $150,000 Warzone Royal Ruckus tournament has wrapped up, and the Call of Duty League team’s very own Skrapz finished in first place, along with teammates Jukeyz and Deleo.
The two-day event brought together a star-studded collection of streamers, Call of Duty pros, influencers, musicians, and entertainers for one of the biggest Warzone tournaments we’ve seen since the battle royale launched in March.
$100,000 of the prize pool was donated to the Equal Justice Initiative, while the remaining $50,000 was split among the top four teams from the final bracket.

Warzone Royal Ruckus final placements & bracket
As fate would have it, the Royal Ravens’ own star player Skrapz and his teammates Jukeyz and Deleo ended up winning the tournament, as they narrowly edged out HusKerrs’ squad 108-106 in the grand final.
Rounding off the top-four were DougisRaw’s team, who lost to HusKerrs in the semifinal stage, and Team Stellar, who were taken down by Skrapz’s squad in the other semis match.

As for the remaining teams, they were all eliminated following the first stage, which encompassed the first one-and-a-half days of the competition.
Only the top eight teams in the initial leaderboard made it to bracket play, the remaining teams’ position in the final placements was based on how many points they acquired from the timed-portion.
Just missing the cut were Vikkstar’s squad and Team Dom, both of whom finished within 10 points of that eighth and final playoff spot but unfortunately had to spend the rest of the event watching.
