Team Kaliber Wins Call Of Duty Stage 2 Playoffs Plus Final Placements
By Ford James ·
After a gruelling couple of days, Team Kaliber have been crowned the Call of Duty Stage 2 champions after defeating Rise Nation in a final which went to a second best of five.
Ahead of the Call of Duty World Championship in two weeks time, Team Kaliber has emerged victorious in the stage two playoffs. They made an impressive run, not losing a single series until the grand final and defeating Unilad, FaZe and Rise Nation twice along the way. It’s a good thing they had a game in hand going into the grand final however, as Rise did manage to beat tK 3-2 in the first best of five.
Rise had previously been knocked down to the losers bracket by tK, so they were no doubt much more fatigued after having to play an extra series against Red Reserve, one they won 3-1. Rise were looking very strong heading into the grand final but unfortunately, they couldn’t quite match up to tK. It’s disappointing for the Rise Nation, as WWII has been a title they’ve exceeded at as an organisation.
Another accolade went tK’s way too: Kenny ‘Kenny’ Williams won the MVP award for the whole event due to his outstanding performances over the three-day period. If Kenny and Team Kaliber can replicate this performance at Champs next month, the rest of the competition need to be worried. Check out the full standings from the CWL Stage 2 Playoffs below:
1st – Team Kaliber - $200,000
2nd – Rise Nation - $120,000
