Gaming content creator and 100 Thieves co-owner Jack “CouRageJD” Dunlop has announced his latest major tournament, the CouRage Clash, a $100,000 Battlefield 6: RedSec showdown in partnership with Electronic Arts. The event is set for November 11, 2025, and will see 32 of the world’s top streamers and creators go head-to-head in Battlefield’s newest mode, Gauntlet.

A New Battlefield Tournament with Serious Firepower

The CouRage Clash marks Battlefield 6’s biggest influencer event yet, celebrating the explosive launch of the RedSec expansion. Taking place entirely within the game’s new Gauntlet Mode, players will battle across key areas of the Fort Lyndon battle royale map, completing objectives like capturing consoles, holding zones, and protecting VIPs while fending off enemy squads.

The format will feature eight squads of four players, with each round eliminating lower-placed teams until a single squad remains standing after round four. With $100,000 (around £76,200) on the line, fans can expect some intense firefights, tactical plays, and high-level coordination from some of the most skilled and entertaining creators in the FPS scene.

Creators Rush to Join the Line-Up

Following the announcement, CouRageJD took to social media to call for participants, and the response was immediate. Top streamers from every corner of the world threw their names into the hat.

Brazilian creator StolenBR expressed his wish to “play and represent Brazil,” while Spanish-speaking streamers Deus Amir, El Panito5, and Kesto voiced their eagerness to bring their massive communities into the competition.

North American names like DiazBiffle, OpTic ZLaner, and EndersFPS also showed strong interest, alongside Aussie streamer SilkOCE, who joked about missing out due to regional restrictions. Even PrimitiveAK chimed in humorously, imagining “losing $100,000 to a tank in the last circle.”

The excitement reflects just how much anticipation Battlefield 6’s RedSec expansion has built among creators and fans alike, especially with this being the first large-scale influencer tournament for the game.

What Makes Gauntlet Mode Special

Battlefield’s Gauntlet Mode is a fresh addition introduced with the RedSec Season One update. It combines the chaos of battle royale with structured, objective-based gameplay. Players are forced to adapt between aggressive combat and coordinated teamwork as they capture, defend, and complete missions across different zones.

This makes the mode ideal for competitive play, striking a balance between entertainment and strategic skill, something CouRageJD is clearly aiming to highlight through the CouRage Clash.

CouRage’s Return to Esports Commentary

For longtime fans, this tournament marks a full-circle moment for CouRageJD. While he’s best known today for his energetic content and co-ownership of 100 Thieves, he actually began his career as an esports commentator with Major League Gaming, covering titles like Call of Duty back in 2018.

More recently, CouRage hosted a successful $100,000 Marvel Rivals tournament in October 2025, featuring players like Vladan “Necros” Konstantinov and James “Clayster” Eubanks. That event drew impressive viewership, blending competitive energy with influencer appeal, something this Battlefield 6 tournament looks set to replicate.

Looking Ahead to November 11

With hype building across social media, Battlefield fans won’t have to wait long to see how this plays out. The CouRage Clash kicks off on November 11, 2025, bringing together global communities across Twitch, Kick, and YouTube for one of the year’s most anticipated crossover events between content creation and competitive gaming.

Whether it’s the tactical chaos of Gauntlet or the sheer star power of the player roster, this Battlefield 6: RedSec tournament is shaping up to be a must-watch moment in the FPS scene.
