The Last Chance Qualifier tournament for the 2018 Call of Duty World League Championships has now fully wrapped up.
A total of 30 teams from all around the world gathered at the MLG Arena in Columbus, OH from July 24-25 to try and punch their ticket to the largest tournament of the year.
As the name of the competition suggests, the LCQ is the last and final chance for any non-Pro League teams to qualify for the $1.5 million Champs.
With only 16 qualifying spots open for the 30 participating teams, the tournament was destined to be a bloodbath and it certainly did not disappoint.
Eight of the 16 teams that qualified managed to do so by winning both of their matches in the Winners Bracket:
EZG eSports | Parzelion, Atura, Apox, RobbieB |
Heretics KFC | Jurnii, Lucky, Methodz, Sukry |
Team Vitality | Chain, Maple, Tommey, Denz |
Elevate | Spacely, MajorManiak, Maux, Proto |
Ghost Gaming | Parasite, Lacefield, GodRx, Pandur |
Enigma6 | General, Sender, Diabolic, aBeZy |
Les Blues | Malls, TonyJs, Wailers, Zayrox |
Lethal Gaming | TeddyRecKs, Ramby, Super, Zaptius |
There were five teams that won their first match in the Winners Bracket, but a subsequent loss sent them to the Losers Bracket, where they had to win an additional match to qualify.
