The vibrant energy of TwitchCon is set to converge with the high-stakes intensity of competitive Call of Duty as FaZe Kaysan announces an electrifying 2v2 tournament for the upcoming San Diego event. Scheduled for October 18th, 2025, `Kaysan`s Showdown VII` (an intriguing title for what is, in fact, the eighth installment of his popular series) promises a spectacle of tactical prowess and raw skill in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, all before the much-anticipated launch of Black Ops 7.
TwitchCon San Diego, marking a decade since its inaugural gathering, is already a hub for community, innovation, and digital culture. Yet, for many attendees, the pulse-pounding action of esports tournaments remains a core draw. FaZe Kaysan, a prominent content creator for FaZe Clan, is leveraging this atmosphere to host a battle royal for bragging rights and a considerable prize.
The Stage is Set for Black Ops 6 Glory
This particular `Showdown` will feature four formidable duos, representing some of the most recognized names in the Call of Duty landscape: FaZe Vegas, the Los Angeles Thieves, OpTic Texas, and Team Falcons. What makes this event particularly compelling is its format and its timing. Competitors will engage in the classic Search and Destroy game mode, a true test of strategic thinking, clutch plays, and flawless communication. This mode, often considered the purest form of competitive Call of Duty, strips away respawns and forces players to make every decision count.
Adding another layer of intrigue, the tournament will witness a unique clash of ecosystems. It`s one of the rare instances where two of Team Falcons` renowned Warzone players will step into the competitive arena against seasoned Call of Duty League (CDL) professionals. This cross-pollination of talent from the battle royale and traditional esports circuits presents a fascinating dynamic, offering spectators a chance to see how different skill sets translate under pressure. Will the tactical flexibility of Warzone specialists conquer the disciplined aggression of CDL stalwarts? Only the 2v2 battlefield will tell.
A Fond Farewell to an Era, A Glimpse into the Future
With a $25,000 prize pool on the line, the stakes are undeniably high. Beyond the monetary reward, however, this event carries a symbolic weight. Taking place just weeks before the grand unveiling of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 on November 14th, `Kaysan`s Showdown VII` serves as one of the final significant Black Ops 6 competitions. It’s an opportunity for players to leave their mark on the current iteration of the game, a last hurrah before the community shifts its collective gaze to the next chapter. For fans, it’s a chance to savor the competitive meta of Black Ops 6 one last time, appreciating the mastery honed over countless hours.
More Than Just CoD: TwitchCon`s Diverse Esports Landscape
While FaZe Kaysan`s tournament will undoubtedly be a highlight, TwitchCon San Diego`s esports offerings extend far beyond the Call of Duty universe. As part of the broader Twitch Rivals series, the event stage will host a variety of other competitive showcases.

This diverse lineup ensures there`s something for every kind of competitive gaming fan, cementing TwitchCon`s reputation as a premier destination for digital entertainment.
Fans eager to catch all the Call of Duty action can tune into FaZe Kaysan`s official Twitch channel, while other Twitch Rivals events will be broadcast on the main TwitchRivals channel.
