The competitive action of the Call of Duty World League (CWL),
Presented by PlayStation®4, kicks into high gear today with the CWL
Global Pro League Stage Two Playoffs at the MLG Arena in Columbus,
Ohio. Throughout the weekend, the high-stakes competition will pit
the world’s best teams from North America and Europe against each
other for their share of the $500,000 event prize pool, with the
Grand Finals taking place on Sunday, July 30. The competition this
weekend takes on an added level of urgency as Stage 2 placements
will help determine final rankings for the year’s premier Call of
Duty competitive event, the CWL Championship this August.
The CWL Global Pro League Stage Two Playoffs features the eight
best teams in Call of Duty vying for top spot, including Stage 1
Playoff winner Spyce and CWL Anaheim Open Winner Luminosity,
alongside eUnited, FaZe Clan, Fnatic, Team EnVyUs, Enigma6, and
OpTic Gaming.
The season draws to a close, culminating with the 2017 CWL
Championship, August 11-13, in Orlando, where teams will compete
for their share of a final $1.5 million prize pool, as part of the
overall $4 million prize pool for the 2017 CWL season – the largest
in Call of Duty esports history.
Success at the CWL Global Pro League Stage 2 Playoffs is a
crucial step for Orlando hopefuls, as seeding at the 2017 CWL
Championship will be determined by placement at this weekend’s
Stage 2 Playoffs. On Thursday, the North American Last Chance
Qualifier saw eight teams secure a chance to compete in the
32-team, season-end Championship event set for August 9-13 at the
Amway Center in Orlando, FL.
The eight qualifying teams from the North American Last Chance
Qualifier are:
- 3sUP
- Allegiance
- Echo Fox
- Lethal Gaming
- Projekt Evil
- Rogue
- Str8 Rippin
- Team Kaliber

Stage Two Playoffs, General Admission (GA), three-day tickets, are
