Epsilon Esports is ready to hit CWL Florida
Introduction
This weekend, the biggest final in Call of Duty history is taking place, with a mouth watering $1.5m cash pool up for grabs. Starting this Wednesday on the 9th August at the Amway Centre in Orlando, Florida, the top 32 Call of Duty: World Championship teams in the world will lineup head to head on America's East Coast; battling to take home a whopping $600,000 in prize money, 50,000 CWL Pro Plus Points and the title of the best Call of Duty players in the world.
So… How does the CoD: WC work?
For those of you who are new to e-sports and gaming: fear not. Hype Energy is here to help. We’ll explain the basics and introduce you smoothly into the world of eGaming. Just like the football world cup, the CoD: WC competition will involve 32 teams from across the world competing in group stages, which will be split into 8 groups of 4 teams. Each team will play each other in one ‘best-of-five’ match within their group. The group stages take place this Wednesday and Thursday from 10:00am ET. Finishing 1st or 2nd place in a group gets a team into the playoffs, and the teams that finish in the bottom half of their group will not progress. Any draws are decided using match win, game win or overall win percentages to find a winner, and if necessary, a tie breaker. We then progress to the playoffs, which involve the last 16 teams in a winner’s quarterfinals, where the teams will take part in a double-elimination bracket over multiple rounds. The last 16 will become 8, then 4, and the final two teams will compete to be crowned the 2017 Call of Duty World Champions.
They all finished top-4 at last year’s #CWLChamps, now the players on @Epsilon_eSports want more in 2017.
