A new esports event will be taking place starting tomorrow as Call Of Duty and But Light Seltzer have teamed up for a new tournament. The event is designed to give some weekly programming featuring top athletes to raise money for important charities. That way they are helping those on the frontlines during the coronavirus outbreak as well as giving us at home something to watch in solitude. The event will feature several pro-athletes across multiple divisions and brands, including the NFL, MLB, NHL, Women's Soccer, and the NBA. The rules of how the games will be played haven't been fully explained yet, nor do we have a schedule of how these games will be determined and played out. Right now we just know it will run from April 21st until May 7th, every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday on Twitch. You can check out the full details of who will be participating below, as well as the payouts to the charities. Here's hoping this series turns out some amazing games!
