TEAMS
- Team EnVyUs
- OpTic Gaming
- FaZe Clan
- Rise Nation
- Cloud9
- Dream Team
- Luminosity
- H2K
TEAM ENVYUS
After struggling in Stage 1, Team EnVyUs made a roster change, adding John and Apathy alongside Jkap and Slasher. Their Stage 2 lineup has worked out for them as EnVyUs end the regular season with the #1 seed, just barely above returning champions OpTic Gaming in map win percentage. Their first matchup will be against H2K, a team they are 2-0 against in Stage 2.
Roster:
- John
- Apathy
- Jkap
- Slasher
OPTIC GAMING
OpTic have proved themselves as one of the best teams in Call of Duty. They went 20-2 in Stage 1, which is still the best record out of any team in the Call of Duty World League. OpTic were crowned Stage 1 Champions and are headed into the Stage 2 Finals ready to defend that title. They finished Stage 2 with the #2 seed and a 16-6 record. In their first Stage 2 Finals matchup, they will face Luminosity. In the regular season, OpTic are 1-0 against Luminosity.
Roster:
- Scump
- Karma
- Crimsix
- Formal
FAZE CLAN
FaZe were unable to make it out of the semifinals at the Stage 1 playoffs, falling to Rise Nation. FaZe ended Stage 2 in third place, with a 13-9 record. Their quarterfinal match at the Stage 2 playoffs will be against Dream Team.
- Clayster
- ZooMaa
- Attach
- Enable
RISE NATION
Rise Nation forced a Game 7 at the Stage 1 Finals against OpTic, but were unable to win it. Over the course of Stage 2, Rise have not looked as good as they were in Stage 1, losing many key matchups. They finished with a 13-9 record in Stage 2 in fourth place. Rise will first face off against Cloud9, a team that has been on an incredible run recently, but things do look good for Rise, as they have won both of their series against Cloud9 in the regular season.
Roster:
- Loony
- Classic
- Slacked
- Octane
CLOUD9
Stage 2 is Cloud9’s big debut in the Call of Duty World League Pro Division. C9 were able to win their Stage 1 relegation matchup versus then Pro Division team Counter Logic Gaming. Starting Stage 2, C9 were looking solid, but after a roster change mid-way through the regular season, they seemed to become unstoppable. C9 will face off against Rise in their quarterfinal match, a team that they are 0-2 against in regular season.
Roster:
- Happy
- Assault
- Havok
- Llama
DREAM TEAM
Dream Team is, well, the dream team. They failed to qualify for Stage 1 Finals after having a rough regular season, but Stage 2 was a different story. After re-qualifying for the Pro Division in relegation, they at one point held the top spot in Stage 2. DT will face off against FaZe in their quarterfinal match, a matchup in which DT is undefeated.
Roster:
- Killa
- Diabolic
- Chino
- Sender
LUMINOSITY
Luminosity had a very rough start to Stage 2 of the CWL. They were in a downward spiral, and nothing seemed to be connecting for the original team. After this, they decided to make a roster change and added NAMELESS to the roster. Since then, the team has been on fire. They were able to qualify for the Stage 2 Finals and have a lot to prove, as their first match is against OpTic.
Roster:
- Nameless
- StuDyy
- Saints
- SpaceLy
H2K
H2K did not have a good go in Stage 1, ending the regular season with their Pro Division lives on the line, but in one of the biggest relegation comebacks H2K reverse swept Liquid to stay in the CWL. Stage 2 has been an up and down ride for them. They were at one point the top team in the standings, but at the end of the regular season barely clinched the final spot to qualify for the Stage 2 Finals. H2K face a tough opponent in the quarterfinals, EnVyUs, who they have not been able to defeat in Stage 2.
Roster:
- Legal
- Lacefield
- Phizzurp
- Fears
BRACKET
