Telluride Bush is Flank Invitational 1 seed, Nov. 11

TLDR: Telluride Bush drafted a team for the FaZe x The Flank $100,000 Flank Invitational, and a duck race made it the 1 seed with a bye before matches start Nov. 11 at 3PM ET.
The Bush spent Monday afternoon on scrims against Huntsmen, then sat down with The Flank's draft board once the scrims were done.

This is a big room. The Flank is ZooMaa's Call of Duty invitational series. It has been running events for pros since 2024, and this one is co-hosted with FaZe: a 12-team fantasy draft on November 10, then 2 days of tournament play on November 11 and 12, streamed on FaZe's Twitch. The $100,000 pot is 5 times what The Flank's last edition paid out in November 2025.
For FaZe it's a comeback, too. The teaser was the org's first original post since March and had passed 600,000 views by Tuesday. A Barstool-adjacent Bush squad drafting in a field that big is exactly why the org has been grinding scrims. The draft started just before 5 ET, and the Bush had its board posted within an hour.
By Wednesday morning, the last piece of the bracket was settled, and settled the dumbest possible way. Seeding for every team in the field came down to a duck race, and so did the draft order. The Bush's duck delivered: the 1 seed and a first-round bye.

The duck race that decided the seeding of every team in the Flank Invitational. Bush will be the 1 & have a bye ๐ณ๐ฆ
So the Bush gets to watch the opening round from the couch while everyone else plays their way in. Matches start at 3PM ET Wednesday and the org says it'll be live for all of them. The tournament wraps Thursday, and that's when we find out whether a duck-race bye turns into a real run at the $100,000.
