The exciting final match against Splyce showcased the skills required to be the best when it comes to Call of Duty
Competitors from around the world descended onto Birmingham in the United Kingdom over the weekend, all looking for a taste of Glory in the CWL Birmingham Open. The event, hosted at the INSOMNIA62 Gaming Festival, featured some huge names from the CWL circuit, with teams such as Rise Nation, OpTic Gaming, Team Envy and Echo Fox all vying for victory. In the end, however, the final battle came down to Luminosity taking on local favourites Splyce in a tense match that ultimately saw Luminosity coming away as champions.
Luminosity’s tough victory was best summed up by Johnathan “John” Perez, who stated “Winning Birmingham means a lot to me. After Atlanta we really decided to show up here and win this.” The next step for the competitive Call of Duty scene will be the CWL Pro League Stage 1 at the MLG Arena in Columbus, Ohio, where the top eight teams will be battling it out for a share of the $500,000 prize pool and the role of early season favourite as the record setting CWL 2018 Season continues.
With Luminosity’s excellent performance this weekend in Birmingham, they will be looking to carry their momentum going forward to future CWL events. They will face tough competition however, with Splyce and other teams gunning for revenge.
