NA CWL 2000 Series Jan. 15 Recap

If you were not paying attention to the North American 2K this weekend, prepare to be shocked. Along with Rise Nation not placing in the top-16, a few other sides in the top-20 fell earlier than expected, allowing eUnited to sneak in and grab this weekend’s 2k title.

The team that played spoiler to two of these sides was Fury Gaming, who handedly defeated both Rise and Team Kaliber en route to placing top-eight. While the team is still in semi-pro status, they do pose as an interesting spoiler for the MLG Atlanta event, should they go and compete in the open bracket.

Here’s how everything from the round-of-32 onwards shaped up Sunday:
