Luminosity came into their first CWL Pro League match against Team Reciprocity as heavy favorites. Reciprocity were swept by Red Reserve on Monday, and Luminosity became one of the first four teams to qualify for the league at CWL Las Vegas in December.

The matchup didn’t play out nearly how many thought it would, though. Reciprocity came out strong and took the opening Hardpoint by 12 points. They then followed it up with a 6-3 Search and Destroy win to put themselves just one map away from the win.

Luminosity looked like they’d still steal away the match. After winning both the Control and Hardpoint maps, Luminosity looked primed to complete the reverse sweep. It wasn’t meant to be, however, and Reciprocity won the final Search and Destroy in 10 rounds to secure the victory.
