An intense weekend of Call of Duty action has come to an end at
the CWL Anaheim Open, hosted by Major League Gaming Corp. (MLG),
with Luminosity claiming the Anaheim Open Champion title.
Over 120 hopeful teams entered the CWL Anaheim Open with eyes on
their share of the $200,000 event prize pool, battling for the top
prize against teams set to compete later this month at the CWL
Global Pro League Stage 2. Teams Cloud9, BitterSweet, Fnatic and
Red Reserve battled their way to Stage 2 after winning the
Relegation Qualifier on Thursday.
On Saturday, fans were treated to a no-holds barred All-Star
match featuring top players from CWL Stage 1. Championship Sunday
saw Luminosity capture the designation of CWL Anaheim Open
Champion, while teams Splyce, Epsilon and Cloud9 rounded out the
top four spots at the end of the three-day tournament.
“I’ve been to this event every year since I was an amateur
player. It’s always the biggest turnout, always the biggest hype.
Winning Anaheim meant the world to me,” said Sam ‘Octane’ Larew,
CWL Anaheim Open MVP, following the Grand Finals. “We won a
championship with how we played today, so we need to keep our game
exactly the same going into CWL Stage 2.”
Here are the final rankings for the CWL Anaheim Open:
- 1st – Luminosity
- 2nd – Splyce
- 3rd – Epsilon
- 4th – Cloud9
