Division B teams gathered back at the MLG Arena on July 17 to play the eight and final week of the CWL Pro League Stage 2 regular season.
With five matches on the Day One schedule, there was plenty of opportunity for all teams to improve their position in the standings.
The CWL Pro League features a total of 16 teams divided into Divisions A and B, with the 8 teams of each group playing each other twice.
While every team receives a base cash prize for participating, the top four teams of each Division qualify for the Playoffs, where a whopping $500,000 prize pool will be there for the taking.
The day started off with the red hot UNILAD Esports sweeping Mindfreak 3-0 in what was a very one-sided matchup.
CompLexity Gaming one-upped that performance with their own sweep against Luminosity Gaming to improve to 6-6 and keep their Playoff hopes alive.
LG’s loss put them at 5-6, a whole two games out of the fourth and final postseason spot, and the loss also meant that UNILAD would become the first Division A team to clinch a Playoff berth.
UNILAD would play twice in Day One as they faced Tainted Minds, the other Australian team in Division B. The result was the same however, as another 3-0 sweep capped off a dominant day for the Europeans.
