MLG hosted the CWL New Orleans pool play selection show earlier today, and now we know the teams that are in each group for this $200,000 tournament.
Here are the groups for the 2018 CWL New Orleans Open.
Pool A
- Team Kaliber
- FaZe Clan
- UNILAD
- Mindfreak
- TBD open bracket team
Pool B
- OpTic Gaming
- Team Envy
- Vitality
- Epsilon Esports
- TBD open bracket team
Pool C
- Luminosity
- Red Reserve
- Rise Nation
- Enigma6
- TBD open bracket team
Pool D
- Splyce
- eUnited
- Echo Fox
- Ground Zero
- TBD open bracket team
At first glance, Pool D seems to be the group of death. Splyce and eUnited will once again be in the same group—they were both in Pool D at the CWL Dallas Open in December. Echo Fox and Ground Zero are also strong North American teams that could shake things up in this group.
The CWL New Orleans Open is sure to feature some intense Call of Duty action, and it all begins on Jan. 12.
