MLGThe second major tournament of the CWL season came to a close on March 17 as Luminosity Gaming were crowned champions of the $325,000 CWL Fort Worth Pro Tournament.
Luminosity defeated Splyce in the Grand Final in 3-1 fashion, capping off an incredible Winners Bracket run that saw them drop only four maps in four series.

The second match very much took after the first, as LG comfortably took care of the Arsenal Search and Destroy 6-3, thanks to some strong Tempest play by, you guessed it, FormaL.
Massive teamwork from #LGCOD as they now lead 2-0 in the series over @Splyce, and look to end it on Frequency Control!#GOLG #LGLOYAL

On the ropes, and with momentum fully behind their opponents, Splyce showed their resiliency with a strong 3-2 win over LG in the game three Control on Frequency.
Temp, who had a monster performance to help his team survive, was very fired up after the game.
