Gunless on his team being seen as the Top Threat at CWL Anaheim: "I'm Kinda Use to This Feeling"
By Nicholas Barth ·
Rise Nation came into CWL Anaheim hot off of a championship at CWL Seattle. We caught up to Gunless and got his thoughts on his team being considered the top threat at CWL Anaheim by their opponents.
CWL Anaheim is currently underway as the last major open event of the 2018 Call of Duty World League season will see which professional Call of Duty team will be able to take home the lion's share of the $200,000 prize pool and the prestigious title of CWL Anaheim Champions.
With a championship victory at CWL Seattle and an impressive performance in Stage 2 of the CWL Pro League, Rise Nation is currently seen as the hottest team in the professional Call of Duty scene, as the roster consisting of Daniel "Loony" Loza, Thomas "TJHaly" Haly, Peirce "Gunless" Hillman and Austin "Slasher" Liddicoat has shown on numerous occasions that they are currently one of the most talented teams for Call of Duty: WWII.
Twin Galaxies was able to catch up with Gunless at CWL Anaheim and get his thoughts on many of his competitors, such as Seth "Scump" Abner of OpTic Gaming, Martin "Chino" Chino of Team EnVyUs, Jordan "JKap" Kaplan of Luminosity Gaming, Bradley "wuskin" Marshall of UNILAD and Lincoln "Fighta" Ferguson of Mindfreak, naming Rise Nation as the biggest threat their team's face at CWL Anaheim.
"Atlanta, when I was first coming up in IW, everyone kinda had a target on our back as well calling us online warriors, so I'm kinda use to this feeling already. Everyone wants to take us down and prove we're not really the top team anymore and prove themselves as the top team. I don't think we are really a top team in my opinion. I think at any given time any team could take this tournament and show that the competition is really close right now," said Gunless.
Rise Nation currently sits with a 2-1 record in Pool B of CWL Anaheim, as the defending major event champions suffered a 3-0 defeat to Team Kaliber to begin Anaheim. However, the roster of Rise Nation was able to rebound with a 3-1 victory over Luminosity and a 3-0 win over Epsilon to show why they are considered to be the main threat by the rest of the CWL Anaheim field and how that target status brings the best out of teams Like Team Kaliber.
