This weekend’s Call of Duty World League 2,000 series tournaments were the last chance for teams to earn pro points for pool play in the upcoming major open tournament.
CWL pro points are used to determine a team’s seed for LAN events, such as the CWL New Orleans Open, which starts on Jan. 12. At CWL New Orleans, the top 10 NA teams, top five EU squads, and best APAC roster in terms of pro points will earn a spot in pool play, while everyone else will have to fight through one of the toughest open brackets in Call of Duty history.
