On May 15, the best Call of Duty teams in the world will begin the two-month gauntlet that will determine the champions of the CWL Pro League’s second stage.
For the next few months, 16 elite teams will go head-to-head at the MLG Arena in Columbus, Ohio for their share of the $700,000 prize. The 16 teams will be split into two divisions of eight and each team will play their divisional opponents twice throughout the stage.
With Stage One champions FaZe Clan and the likes of Team Kaliber, Evil Geniuses, and Red Reserve bolstering Division A, Echo Fox, Team Envy, Splyce, and Epsilon Esports will likely have tough roads to the Stage Two playoffs.
Division B has some extremely formidable teams as well, including OpTic Gaming, Luminosity, and CWL Seattle champions Rise Nation. Joining them are Mindfreak, Tainted Minds, compLexity Gaming, eUnited, and UNILAD.
Here’s how you can watch Stage Two of the CWL Pro League.
Division A
Divisions will alternate when they play, so Division A will compete during the first two weeks of the stage and again in the fifth and sixth weeks. Division B, on the other hand, plays in weeks three, four, seven, and eight.
FaZe Clan, who walked away with the Stage One title in April, are aiming for another stage title and head into the 2018 CWL Championship with crucial momentum.
Division B
The most highly-anticipated matchup in Division B has to be Luminosity vs. OpTic Gaming, which will pit former world-title teammates against each other when Matthew “FormaL” Piper of Luminosity faces OpTic’s Seth “Scump” Abner and Ian “Crimsix” Porter.
Rise Nation will likely be the favorite to win this division, however, due to their impressive CWL Seattle event win last month.
