CoD Player Slasher Has Emotional Post on Twitter After Elimination from CoD Champs 2018

The 2018 Call of Duty World League (CWL) Championship has seen plenty of upsets and unexpected results throughout the first three days of competition for CoD Champs 2018. These upsets caused major shakeups in how bracket play for the 2018 CWL Championship has gone with both Luminosity Gaming and Rise Nation meeting in round one of the losers bracket on Friday, August 17th with Rise Nation suffering a 3-2 loss to Luminosity in a reverse sweep.

After being eliminated in a disappointing fashion, Austin "SlasheR" Liddicoat took to Twitter and posted a very emotional tweet regarding the early elimination of Rise Nation from the 2018 CWL Championship. SlasheR has since deleted the post regarding CoD Champs from his Twitter account, but reddit user woodlands- was able to grab a screenshot of the Twitter post from SlasheR and post it to the competitive Call of Duty subreddit. 

The Rise Nation CoD roster of SlasheR, Pierce "Gunless" Hillman, Daniel "Loony" Loza and Thomas "TJ" Haly came into CoD Champs 2018 as one of the heavy favorites to walk away with the 2018 CWL Championship title and $600,000 grand prize, but now will be going home with only a top 16 finish. 

This will be the first time since Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare that SlasheR will not be competing in the grand finals of a CoD Champs, as SlasheR won CoD Champs 2016 in Black Ops III and secured a second place finish at CoD Champs 2017 in Infinite Warfare with Team EnVyUs.

The realization that he will not be heading to a third straight CWL Championship grand finals with a Rise Nation roster that he has won two CWL tournaments with in 2018 looked to be what spurred the emotional Twitter post from SlasheR regarding his elimination from CoD Champs 2018.

The veteran player will now be looking to take an extended break from gaming and social media before beginning his preparation for the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 season.
