CWL Vegas: Top five plays and moments from the $250,000 major tournament This past weekend, the Call of Duty World League held its first major tournament of the 2018-19 season in Las Vegas, NV, and it was full of exhilarating moments and incredible highlights. From strong individual performances to inspiring team moments, the event had one of the best highlight reels anyone could ask for from a Call of Duty tournament. There were so many electrifying moments from the weekend that it\u2019s almost impossible to come up with a set list of top plays that features every top moment from the event. However, it would be hard to make a list and not include OpTic Gaming more than once, considering they did go on a remarkable unbeaten run to secure the championship. That being said, let\u2019s take a look back at some of the best plays and moments from this past weekend\u2019s competition: #5 \u2013 Scump 1v2 vs Pittsburgh Knights OpTic Gaming\u2019s Scump was on his A-game right from their first match of the weekend against Pittsburgh Knights. Stuck in a 1v2 situation in the game two Search and Destroy on Arsenal, Scump used a variety of incredible shoulder peeks and movement to eliminate both of his opponents. Perhaps the best part about this play was the use of the Crash Specialist\u2019s health boost, which played a crucial role in him winning that second gunfight. The king wins those. :fire:@OpTic_Scumper pic.twitter.com\/uygBj8xrVT \u2014 OpTic Gaming\u2122 (@OpTicGaming) December 7, 2018 #4 \u2013 Single Lightning Strike wipes out 100 Thieves One of the crucial points during Team Sween\u2019s stunning 3-0 domination vs 100 Thieves in Pool A was a perfectly placed Lightning Strike that Dylan called during the game three Control on Frequency. The scorestreak single-handedly wiped out the entirety of 100 Thieves\u2019 team, turning a 13-14 player count deficit into a 13-9 advantage for Team Sween, which they would use to eventually close out the game and series in a clean sweep. #3 \u2013 ACHES\u2019 four-piece vs FaZe Clan Although Envy did not have the greatest tournament, finishing 9-12, last season\u2019s World Champions still had some incredible spells, none more so than team captain ACHES\u2019 clean four-piece against FaZe Clan in Pool C. Playing Control on Seaside, ACHES pushed out the open balcony side of the map and onto the stairs, where he encountered and wiped out four FaZe players using pristine shots and tightly controlled movements. .@ACHES MAKING PLAYS! https:\/\/t.co\/NKHQSgV6Gh#CWLPS4 | #CWLVegas pic.twitter.com\/6RvK4HLbyR \u2014 Call of Duty World League (@CODWorldLeague) December 8, 2018 #2 \u2013 Jurd\u2019s four-piece with just a single clip Anyone who has played with the Saug SMG in Black Ops 4 will tell you that the gun is powerful but its clips run out of ammo very quickly. However, as Splyce\u2019s Jurd demonstrated in their 3-0 Winner\u2019s Bracket domination of Evil Geniuses, that isn\u2019t an issue if you just hit your shots. Jurd\u2019s incredible four-piece with the Saug in the game three control using just a single clip of ammo deserves to be high on this list. .@ScufGaming Play of the Game: @jurd goes off with four kills vs Evil Geniuses!#CWLPS4 | #CWLVegas pic.twitter.com\/2q3S8Gpwff \u2014 Call of Duty World League (@CODWorldLeague) December 9, 2018 #1 \u2013 OpTic Gaming\u2019s Hardpoint comebacks vs Splyce and eUnited Ok, we admit it, we\u2019re going to cheat a little here and put in two plays for the price of one. But it\u2019s hard to pick and choose which of OpTic Gaming\u2019s two incredible Hardpoint comebacks deserved to be number on on this list. In the first, already down 1-2 against Splyce in the Winner\u2019s Bracket Final, OpTic used every ounce of clutch they had to come back on Seaside Hardpoint and tie up the series 2-2, which they would ultimately go on and win. Time for Game 5.

That win was the dagger in the hearts of eUnited, as they missed a huge chance to take the map, and it ultimately led to OpTic sweeping them 3-0 to win the tournament., COMEBACK KIDS!!!@OpTicGaming do it AGAIN in an CRAZY Hardpoint!https:\/\/t.co\/NKHQSgV6Gh#CWLPS4 | #CWLVegas pic.twitter.com\/qpKKCpBsJR \u2014 Call of Duty World League (@CODWorldLeague) December 10, 2018<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
