OpTic Gaming win CMG $2,500 Black Ops 4 ProDown tournament – recap and final placements

OpTic Gaming defeated 100 Thieves on November 19 to be crowned champions of the first ever $2,500 ProDown Black Ops 4 tournament, organized by Checkmate Gaming. 

Having already defeated 100 Thieves 4-1 in the Winners Bracket finals the day before, OpTic had to only win one of two matches in the grand final to claim overall victory.

100 Thieves, who beat Splyce 3-1 in the Losers finals, came into the grand final knowing they had to win back-to-back matches to win the tournament.

However, OpTic did not allow things to get to that point, as they steamrolled 100 Thieves for the second time in as many days, defeating them 250-203 on Hacienda Hardpoint, 6-3 on Gridlock Search and Destroy, 3-2 on Frequency Control, and 250-62 in Seaside Hardpoint to complete the dominant 4-0 sweep.

The victory also improved the Green Wall to a perfect 3/3 in major online tournaments so far, as they claimed victory in the first two CWL 2K tournaments they competed in.
