KFC has joined forces with Activision to bring an official Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4 tournament to the UK. The event will be a battle to the death in the game’s Blackout mode and it comes with a massive £50k of prize money that’ll be doled out to the best players.
The tournament will bring 16 of the world’s best COD players to the UK: Syndicate, Terroriser, MiniLadd, Daithi, MarleyThirteen, iTemp Plays, MrDalekJD, Tommy T, Spratt, ZerkaaHD, Vikkstar123, Cyanide, PsiSyn, CodeNamePizza, TheGamingLemon and Gaz Beale.
The competition, which kicked off on the 17th January 2019, will be running for five weeks and offers 16 available spots.
The best part is that the money isn’t for professional players – if you’re good, you have a chance to win yourself some cash.
Someone’s Saturday night just got a lot sweeter as @tearjuanarmour earns himself a spot in the #KFCRoyale final and £800. @MrDalekJD think you’ve got a steady duo there!

The finals will take place 24th February, where one sharp-shooter will nab themselves £15,000. The remaining cash of the £50k prize will be split between other players. Aside from the £15k, the ultimate winner will walk away with a KFC Black Card, a card which allows the bearer to get free KFC, every day.
Check out the official KFC Royale website to find out more. (Note: You have to be a UK-based player and you have to play on PlayStation 4).
