CWL Global Pro League Stage Two Playoff Preview

Finally, after four weeks of some tight group stage action across all four groups, the playoffs have finally arrived. Fighting for $500,000 at the MLG Arena in Colombus Ohio, which of the eight teams will rise to claim victory?

It will be said, straight off the bat, that this is some of the closest and most dramatic competition we’ve seen recently. All eight teams are potential winners, but only one can lift the trophy on the 30th July, this Sunday after competing from Friday 28th. Namely, the squads are of eUnited, Enigma6, OpTic, Fnatic, Luminosity, Splyce, FaZe and EnVyUs.

With such a list of names, the three favourites are probably OpTic, Luminosity and Splyce. Recently, doubts have begun to arise for the green team but they silenced these thoughts with an impeccable record through group stage. On the other hand, Luminosity and Splyce have made up the grand finalists of the past two events; and each of them has claimed one.

Then there are FaZe and eUnited, two teams drowned in drama and rumours; it would be the sweetest thing in the world to see these two matchup at any time in the event. “Clayster” is as merciless as ever after being dropped. Nonetheless, both squads will be fighting to prove that the swap was for the better. Speaking of fighting, Enigma6 are a team to watch out for. This team has some of the most sophisticated strategies which have served them well in the group stages. Although they may not be favourites, such a squad cannot be ignored.

The last couple of teams are Fnatic and EnVyUs. Fnatic haven’t had a great year but have succeeded the low expectations set for them. Yet, they have been known for giving top-tier teams a tough time in certain games. When it comes to having a bad year, nobody tops EnVyUs. Last year they were the best team in BO3 and thus took home the Championship. Unfortunately, they haven’t won a title since, not even a top 3 finish since CWL Vegas. EnVyUs really need to step their game up and try get back in the zone before this year’s Championship.

As of now, only the first four matches have been placed into schedule. The most exciting one definitely being the encounter between Luminosity Gaming and Splyce once again.
