The opening day of the 2019 CWL Pro League Qualifier is in the books, and some of the event’s favorites have already shown signs of struggling.
Despite resistance from their opponents, 100 Thieves and FaZe Clan finished the first day with 1-1 records. The pair will begin the second day of competition sitting in the middle of their respective pool play groups—but with four matches still remaining in the round robin format, each will have their opportunity to improve their record.
