First ever Black Ops 4 CWL 2K claims a number of top teams on day one The first CWL 2K tournament of the Black Ops 4 season has reached the final stages in Europe and North America, but some big names will not be advancing to the second day of play. Due to the sheer number of teams that signed up in the EU and NA regions, the 2K was split into two days of competition. In Europe, teams played up until the semi-final stage, while North America reached the quarter-finals.

Round of 32 \u2013 NA Team Envy have looked strong online since the game\u2019s release, performing exceptionally well in most of their scrims. However, they fell in the round of 32 to Dylan \u2018Envoy\u2019 Hannon\u2019s \u2018gold bullets\u2019. The current World Champions had coasted through the earlier rounds of the tournaments, despite Patrick \u2018ACHES\u2019 Price\u2019s comments about the current 2K format, but were stunned by their opposition in a game that they would have felt supremely confident about. Envy weren\u2019t the only ones to fall short in the round of 32, though, as Evil Geniuses were taken out by \u2018ReactGaming\u2019, Steve \u2018Mochila\u2019 Canle\u2019s team lost to G2. Michael \u2018Swarley\u2019 Carter\u2019s team and Rush Gaming\u2019s \u2018C2C Gaming\u2019 also failed to make it to the round of 16. Round of 16 \u2013 NA The matches started to really heat up in the round of 16, with a number of big names facing off against each other. In the top half of the bracket, Adam \u2018KiLLa\u2019 Sloss\u2019 team fell to 100 Thieves in a hard-fought 3-1 series. Without a doubt, the biggest upsets came when FaZe Clan were knocked out by Michael \u2018Beehzy\u2019 Said\u2019s team and Luminosity dropped to Tanner \u2018Mosh\u2019 Clark and Paul \u2018Tisch\u2019 Tischler. G2 continued to impress after looking shaky in scrims, elimination Christopher \u2018Parasite\u2019 Duarte and Adam \u2018GodRx\u2019 Brown\u2019s team, and Michael \u2018SpaceLy\u2019 Schmale\u2019s squad eliminated golden bullets. One of the more interesting matches on paper saw Splyce take on Enigma6, but E6 fell in 3-0 fashion to Jordan \u2018Jurd\u2019 Crowley, Lamar \u2018Accuracy\u2019 Abedi and co. The quarter-finals will be even more interesting, with 100T taking on G2, Splyce facing off against SpaceLy\u2019s team, eUnited playing Beehzy\u2019s squad and OpTic Gaming meeting Mosh\u2019s roster. Round of 16 \u2013 EU In Europe, results were pretty much business as usual throughout the earlier rounds of the competition but the round of 16 proved to be a difficult one for some of the top Spanish teams as Heretics, Movistar Riders and Vodafone Giants all dropped to British opposition. Wailers \u2018Wailers\u2019 Locart\u2019 team also dropped to Niall \u2018Niall\u2019 Sunderland and company, meaning that the quarter-finals were dominated by UK teams except for Gone Gaming\u2019s French and British mix team. Quarter-finals \u2013 EU Even Gone Gaming couldn\u2019t keep their 2K hopes alive in the quarter-finals, though, as Billy \u2018Hawqeh\u2019 Harris\u2019 team took them out to secure a top four spot. The biggest shock of the EU 2K so far came when Red Reserve fell to Niall\u2019s team. Widely regarded as the best team in Europe, Red\u2019s failure to make it to day two will come as a surprise to many, including themselves. On the other half of the bracket, Thomas \u2018Tommey\u2019 Trewren and Denholm \u2018Denz\u2019 Taylor\u2019s newly formed Reciprocity roster fell to Gurdip \u2018SunnyB\u2019 Bains\u2019 team and Dylan \u2018MadCat\u2019 Daly\u2019s squad lost to Dylan \u2018Dylan\u2019 Henderson\u2019s team following a controversial map five that saw the teams have to play a sudden death round 11 after David \u2018Dqvee\u2019 Davies used one of his scorestreaks. With so many big names falling in the quarter-finals, the EU 2K semi-final matches consist of four teams that currently have no organization backing them. Jordan \u2018Reedy\u2019 Reed\u2019s team, Shea \u2018QwiKeR\u2019 Sweeney\u2019s squad, SunnyB\u2019s team and Niall\u2019s roster will all be hoping that a win on day two will catch the eyes of potential orgs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
