Are your «Call of Duty: Warzone» skills not up to par? We’ve got just the boot camp for you

Do you just end up shooting yourself in the foot in «Call of Duty: Warzone», or do you have a friend who’s dealing more damage to your squad than the enemy’s? Worry not. We’ll give you the coaching you need so you can try your hand at winning the upcoming digitec Playground cup!
How to earn the honour of being coached?
You can nominate yourself, a friend, or any Swiss Twitch streamer you’d like to see sweat in «Warzone» instead of leisurely toying around with building blocks in Minecraft. Provided, of course, they themselves are interested in our boot camp and participating in the digitec Playground tournament. The person with the most votes wins and becomes digitec’s official «Warzone» player.
Who’s the coach?
Reto Canova – co-moderator of our first digitec Playground – not only has a nippy mouth, but also a nimble trigger finger. He’s an experienced eSportsman and can teach you what he knows in Swiss German, French or English.
What does the coaching look like?
Of course, professional e-athletes take care of their physical fitness as well. An editorial video contribution on this is in the works: the participant will have the chance to showcase his or her physical prowess away from the PC. We’ll discuss the exact details of this video with the winner.
On 30 January 2020 – tournament day – the winner will be assigned to a team at random, like all the other participants. The difference is that, if possible, he or she will play on-site in Zurich’s eStudios.
Equipment is on the house
To ensure nothing is left to chance, the appropriate gaming hardware such as a mouse, keyboard, headset and webcam are on the house. Concrete product details will follow.
Conditions of participation
To ensure a certain flair and interest for livestreams, a Twitch account is required for registration. The link or name of the channel is enough. It also helps us keep track of who got how many votes. Just paste the Twitch link into the field at the bottom of this page, and you're good to go.
So, get your friends or followers on board. The candidate with the most votes wins.
All participants must be 18 years of age or present parental permission at registration. In addition, at least two out of three players per team must either be residents of Switzerland or have a Swiss ID document.

Philipp.Rueegg@digitecgalaxus.chAs a child, I wasn't allowed to have any consoles. It was only with the arrival of the family's 486 PC that the magical world of gaming opened up to me. Today, I'm overcompensating accordingly. Only a lack of time and money prevents me from trying out every game there is and decorating my shelf with rare retro consoles.
