Twitch.tv is joining forces with Doritos to host the "boldest" gaming event yet: The Doritos Bowl at TwitchCon 2018. During this electronic sports occasion, top streams like Shroud, DrLupo, Ninja, and CouRage will be competiting against each other in the new Blackout battle royale mode in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.
“Doritos Bowl takes the brand’s long history in gaming to new heights and puts us front and center within the gaming community,” said Leslie Vesper, Frito-Lay North America's senior director of marketing, in the press release for the announcement. “When you have names and partners like Doritos, Twitch, and Ninja all joining forces, you know it’s going to be an epic event. We hope this will be something unlike anyone has ever seen in gaming.”
The event will be live-streamed on Twitch during TwitchCon 2018 and will be a major boost to the Blackout mode's exposure. Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 launches October 12, 2018, on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Stay tuned to Shacknews for additional updates.
