CWL London Day 3 (May 5)
The final day of CWL London is underway, and we have six teams left fighting. Fans some some incredible moments in Day 2 of London. 100 Thieves was the the big stand out as they swpt eUnited in their first patch, and did a reverse sweep to Gen.G securing their spot in the Winners Finals. We would see an epic OpTic Gaming VS 100 Thieves again, and at this point it’s anyone’s game.
Team Envy were the stars of Day 2, beating heavy weights Splyce, and eliminating the CWL Fort Worth champions Luminosity Gaming. Katie Bedford, CWL London host stated that Team Envy were the winners from the last Rostermania, picking up Decemate (Jacob Cato). He has been stellar so far in London and one of the reasons Team Envy has been doing so well at the tournament.
OpTic Gaming had a spectacular day 2 sweeping both FaZe Clan and Team Heretics. All the doubts that fans had for OG coming into CWL London is out the window now, and the team has a new found glory. All OpTic Gaming players have been performing great, with Karma stealing the show on Day 1, and TJ HaLy stepping up to the plate. Their match against 100 Thieves will be one for the ages.
eUnited continued their mojo in Day 2. The team looks like they’ve found a solid system and are now carrying momentum into Day 3. Here’s the schedule for the final day at CWL London.

Day 2 (May 4) of CWL London
Day 1 brought some surprising results, as well as some of the best action packed matches we’ve seen in a while. Defending CWL champs Luminosity went 0-3 on day 1, Jeremy Astacio, who is part of the CWL panel said that Luminosity Gaming were having champions jitters and that they should eventually find themselves in this tournament. Even Loony from Splyce said that he expects Luminosity to bounce back at they are a top tier team in the league. For those who might not remember, Luminosity had a slow start at CWL Fort Worth as well, however, they didn’t go 0-3.
OpTic Gaming are back on track with their perfect 3-0 performance yesterday. After their poor performance at CWL Fort Worth, OpTic Gaming needed to change things around. The team turned off their streams prior to the tournament so that other teams wouldn’t be able to study them. This move proved to be a factor in their 3-0 start. The major challenge for OpTic Gaming was their last match again 100 Thieves. In the regular season, OG and 100T meet for the first time, where 100T go the best of OG sweeping them 3-0. For OpTic Gaming to be considered the favorites for the tournament, they would have to beat their arch nemesis. After a hard fought battle, OpTic Gaming beat 100 Thieves 3-1.
European Hope
Team Reciprocity were heavy favorites after their performance at CWL Fort Worth, however, after day 1 the team finds themselves at the bottom of the list. They finished 0-3 on day 1, which surprised many fans, and left them wondering what happened. Team Heretics on the other hand went 3-0 on opening day, leaving hope for European fans. Denial Esports were 1-2, with some light of hope shinning upon the team.

What to Look Forward at CWL London
Gfinity Esports will be hosting the CWL London 2019 tournament. It seems like a long time coming. The pools were mentioned immediately following Luminosity Gaming’s tournament win at Fort Woth, which seems like a life time ago. Fans have been eagerly waiting for this event to finally take place.
CWL fans have been patiently waiting since the end of the second part of the Pro League cross-divisional play for the next major tournament. Many of the players in the league were taking time off, practicing and streaming on the side. However, the time has come for them to pick up their controllers and get right back into the action. Here’s what we can look forward to.
Leaderboards
The Cross-divisional CWL play has ended, with Gen.G leading the group with a record of 9 wins and 2 losses. Next two teams are tied for 2nd place with Heretics and eUnited each having 8 wins and 3 loses. OpTic Gaming and 100 Thieves follow suit, and with the way the Pro League has ended, it seems like it can be anyone’s tournament.
The teams that had surprising finishes in league play were Excelerate GG, and Team Envy in Division B. Excelerate GG were struggling before the last two games. Excelerate GG lost the first match of the last week to reigning champs of Fort Worth, Luminosity Gaming 3-2. It was a close game which could have gone either way. However, Excelerate went on to 3-0 UYU and Evil Geniuses. Fans of Excelerate will be looking for the team to carry over the momentum heading into CWL London. Heretics had a perfect end week beating out EG, and the Fort Worth champions. European fans will be looking for a strong tournament from Heretics.
One of the teams that have shined since the start of the Pro League was 100 Thieves. They started off the first week with a horrible record. However, the team rebounded from their poor results from the first week and have been dominating almost every match. In the last tournament in Fort Worth, 100 Thieves were on the path to victory and some Call of Duty casters were picking 100 Thieves to take it all. Nameless, a CWL caster even placed 100 Thieves in top 3 at Fort Worth, with many fans placing them at the top. However, one of 100 Thieves fill-in stars, Priestah, caught a fever in the semifinals and were eliminated by Splyce.
If Priestah, one of the biggest stars at the tournament was still healthy and placed in the semis, things could have been different and fans would have seen a 100 Thieves vs Luminosity Gaming finals. We can only imagine what could have been. Gen.G finished the last week strong by winning all their matches. They fell short at the last tournament and will be looking for payback this time around.
Teams to Look Out For
OpTic Gaming – After having played two weeks together as a full unit, and making some role changes, OpTic Gaming will be looking to have better results that at Fort Worth, which left many loyal OG fans disappointed.
Luminosity Gaming – Although the team had a slow start at Fort Worth, they finished cross-divisional play in style and will be looking to replicate their success of Fort Worth. They are possibly the most lethal team out there, with a line-up consisting of veteran players.
Gen.G – With the Rostermania changes before Fort Worth, Gen.G picked up a key player, Envoy. The addition of Envoy has made the team stronger, although many fans could argue that since Gen.G was performing incredibly well even without Envoy. The team will be looking to get vengeance from their loss to Splyce.
Team Reciprocity – Reciprocity has a decent final week of cross-divisional play, going 2-2. However, their performance at the last tournament was stellar, and with the addition of Dylan to the squad has only made the team stronger. Team Rec will be the underdogs heading into CWL London, however, they will be a team to look out for.
