"The Call of Duty World League is excited to bring our record
setting season to Seattle for the first time, allowing spectators
to witness the best teams from around the world go head to head in
Call of Duty: WWII. Participation in the CWL has never been higher
and with so many skilled teams expected to be in attendance, we
anticipate fierce competition as they inch closer to earning a spot
at the 2018 CWL Championship this summer. Visiting new regions can
introduce us to new players, so we’re excited to see what
competitors from the Pacific Northwest can bring to the CenturyLink
Field Event Center this weekend," said Call of Duty Esports
Director, Kevin Flynn.
Fans can watch the broadcast action online at MLG.com/CallofDuty
and Twitch.tv/CallofDuty. Matches will also be available to watch
on PlayStation®4 via the in-game Call of Duty®: WWII theater.
CWL Seattle Open tickets are available in multiple varieties,
while supplies last. General admission passes for the event are
available for $59.99 (plus applicable fees and taxes). A Premium

Teams in Seattle will compete in the open competition for their
chance to earn one of four spots in the event pool. Those four
remaining teams from the open bracket will then join twelve
pre-qualified teams to compete for their share of the $200,000
event prize pool at stake this weekend.
Here are the twelve teams who have already qualified for pool
bracket play this weekend:
Yesterday, a Relegation tournament featuring eight elite teams
took place to determine the four teams to qualify for Stage 2 of
the CWL Pro League. Mindfreak, Evil Geniuses, Epsilon, and Tainted
Minds were the eventual winners of the relegation tournament, also
earning them a spot in the CWL Seattle Open pool bracket. The
nine-week CWL Pro League Stage 2 series begins May 15, 2018 at the
MLG Arena in Columbus, Ohio, and concludes with a playoff series
featuring a $500,000 event prize pool.
