- Updated August 19, 2019: Here’s everything you need to know about the CWL Championship 2019. The Finals of the tournament concluded, with eUnited being crowned the 2019 CWL Champs.
Day 3 of the CWL Championship – August 18
In Day 2 of the Championships, fans got to see Team Reciprocity go for an incredible run all the way to the winners Semifinals until they were beaten by OpTic Gaming. However, Rec fans will still see their team in the tournament against 100T in the Losers Quarterfinals. Evil Geniuses, Sicario Gaming, and Luminosity were all eliminated from the event yesterday and many were shocked that Lum weren’t able to move ahead given their hot winning streak. They were defeated by Rec in the winners quarterfinals and lost to Enigma6 in the losers round 3. An unfortunate end for Luminosity, however, their performance was better than in past CWL majors. OpTic Gaming and eUnited flawlessly moved onto the Winners Finals which will be a rematch of CWL Vegas. OpTic have been looking better as the tournament progressed, and the goat was on his A-game:
OpTic Gaming has had their ups and downs in the last few months, however, it looks like they’ve found their form again. It will be one of the most intense battles we’ll see at this event. In the Losers quarterfinals we’ll see Units against Enigma6, and 100T versus Team Rec.
Here’s Championship Sunday’s schedule:
1). 10:00 PM PT / 1:00 PM ET / 6:00 PM BST

Congrats to eUnited for their incredible win, and a huge thank you to everyone who participated to write this story. The 2019 season ends, and we’ll all be looking forward to the next chapter in CAll of Duty esports.
Day 2 of the CWL Championship – August 17
After Day 1 of the Call of Duty Championships, fans have seen some incredible matches, but one thing that viewers took notice were the 3-1 scores across the board with exception to Team Envy and Units. Typically, CWL fans saw very tight games, going the distance to 5 games. Chance, one of the Pro League casters even brought up a statistic at the Finals saying that more than half the games went to a game 5 at every major. That meant that the match-ups were solid, and fans saw some incredible Call of Duty battles.
However, the Championships saw things different in group play and in the winners brackets. Additionally, the only blow out was Enigam6 over Elevate 3-0, which was uncharacteristic of Elevate as they were incredibly solid finishing off the Pro League season as well as in the early latter of this event. Here is how the Winners Bracket looks after Day 1:
CWL Champs Upsets
The biggest upset of the event so far was Luminosity’s win over 100 Thieves. For many, 100 Thieves were the favorites to win the title as they were the only organization this year to win back to back titles (CWL London and CWL Anaheim). On top of this, they had a dominant season, beating some of the best teams like OpTic Gaming. So when they lost to Luminosity Gaming 3-1, this sent shockwaves to the whole CoD competitive community.
Why is this so strange you ask? Because Luminosity were fading out in the season, and towards the end of the season were on a major losing streak. Considering they had some of the best talents with FormaL and Slacked, many fans were left scratching their head what was happening with the team. A similar occurrence happened at Fort Worth when Luminosity didn’t fair well in the season prior to the CWL major, however, they dominated that tournament winning the title. With a win over one of the best Call of duty esports teams definitely puts them in the race for #1.
Another upset is Team Reciprocity beating FaZe Clan 3-1. FaZe Clan has been dominate since they entered the season towards the later part of the season, and Team Reciprocity were always floating around 500. However, with Wuskin and Dylan at the fore-front, Reciprocity have the capability to beat any top team in the league and they showed that yesterday. Another upset was Evil Geniuses over Splyce. Throughout the entire pro league season, Spylce were one of the top teams, and finished 2nd at Fort Worth. But towards the end of the season, there were some red flags as to the teams synergy. A team that was once feared started to show wear, and that fell through in the Winners Bracket. Evil Geniuses, on the other hand, looked very good, and everyone will be looking forward to a Jkap vs Clayster.

Gen.G was sent home by Team War, which was the biggest upset of the tournament thus far. Additional original CWL Pro League teams sent home from this event were UYU and Midnight Esports. what is shocking about this is that these teams were quite solid towards the end of the regular season. At one point, UYU seemed to have found their edge and were winning games as the underdogs. To be eliminated from the biggest Call of Duty tournament of the year will definitely raise many questions.
