OpTic Gaming were the only team who beat Rise Nation in Stage One of the Call of Duty World League Pro League—but they couldn’t do it again on Thursday.
Rise Nation swept the Green Wall as Division A play wrapped up in Stage One of the CWL Pro League.

Gunless continued his impressive play with a ridiculous 15/5 scoreline as Rise extended their series lead with a 6-4 victory on Sainte Marie du Mont Search and Destroy.
With a 2-0 advantage, Rise closed out the series with authority as they took Ardennes Forest Capture the Flag 4-0—Anthony “Methodz” Zinni topped the leaderboard at 26/13, while Gunless produced 22 kills.
In the other matches on Thursday, eRa Eternity and Echo Fox avoided relegation with wins against Team Vitality and Mindfreak, respectively.
