"The best teams in Call of Duty esports so far this season have
set themselves apart from the rest of the competition and finally,
after eight intense weeks of matches are ready to come together to
decide not only who’s the champion for Stage 1 of the CWL Pro

Teams bound for the CWL Pro League Stage 1 playoffs are
immediately qualified to compete in the CWL Pro League Stage 2
