By Nicholas Barth ·
A thrilling CoD Champs 2018 run saw Evil Geniuses prove their doubters wrong and secure the 2018 Call of Duty World League Championship title.
The 2018 Call of Duty World League (CWL) season for Call of Duty: WWII has come to an end with the Evil Geniuses roster of Patrick "Aches" Price, Justin "Silly" Fargo-Palmer, Adam "Assault" Garcia and Bryan "Apathy" Zhelyazkov defeating three-time 2018 CWL LAN champions Team Kaliber in the grand finals of the 2018 CWL Championship.
It was an adrenaline pumping affair throughout the entirety of CoD Champs 2018, as Evil Geniuses went on an exciting run that saw them shock the Call of Duty community by sweeping OpTic Gaming 3-0 in pool to play to eliminate the Greenwall from the 2018 CWL Championship and then defeating the likes of Team Vitality, Lighting Pandas, Team Envy and Team Kaliber twice in their winners bracket run for the 2018 CWL Championship.
Congratulations to our #CWLChamps 2018 Champions: @ACHES, @Apathy_BZ, @Assault and @silly702!

It was not an easy fight for Evil Geniuses in the grand finals of the CWL Championship against Team Kaliber, as TK was able to complete a reverse sweep in the first best-of-five to force a second series to determine the champion of the 2018 CWL season for Call of Duty: WWII.
However, Evil Geniuses were able to begin the next series just as strong as the first and were able to secure a 3-0 sweep to secure the title.
This championship victory has given Aches and Apathy their second CoD Champs rings with Aches winning his first with compLexity back in Call of Duty: Ghosts and Apathy collecting his first ring with Team Envy during Call of Duty: Black Ops 3. Assault and Silly were able to secure their first CoD Champs rings with Evil Geniuses and will be looking to join their teammates with multiple rings in Black Ops 4.
With the storied Evil Geniuses organization back on top of the professional Call of Duty scene thanks to an underdog tournament run that no one in the community saw coming, it is safe to say that the 2018 CWL Championship was an extremely entertaining and exciting way to finish off the Call of Duty World League season for this year.
