Although only the top four teams at the CWL Las Vegas Open clinched spots in the 2019 CWL Pro League, 28 others will have a chance to make it into the top league in Call of Duty esports.
OpTic Gaming, Splyce, eUnited, and Luminosity became the first four teams to qualify for the 2019 CWL Pro League with top four placings at this weekend’s CWL Las Vegas Open. The 28 teams that placed between fifth and 32nd, while not making the pro league, qualified for the play-in tournament that will take place from Jan. 16 to 20.

The top 12 teams from that event will be awarded spots in the 2019 CWL Pro League, which will run from February to July. Unlike past years, there is no midseason relegation, meaning the teams that qualify for the league at the beginning of the year will keep their spots until the end of Black Ops 4.
Here are the 28 teams that will compete in the 2019 CWL Pro League play-in next month.
