Full recap for WorldGaming Black Ops 4 tournament
GROUP A
The WorldGaming Black Ops 4 tournament featured eight teams split into two groups of four. In Group A, the two favorites FaZe Clan Black and Evil Geniuses were able to advance to the playoffs, while Nemesis and Team WaR were the odd teams out.
Evil Geniuses won the group thanks to two 3-0 performances against Team WaR and FC Black respectively, while FC Black had to get a tight 3-2 victory over Team War to advance.
Despite having won Group B, Cyclone were pretty much manhandled in the match, as FC Black swept them 3-0 to clinch a spot in the Grand Final.
On the other side of the bracket, the heavyweight matchup between two tournament favorites ended with Yerr defeating Evil Geniuse 3-1, who finished tied for third with Cyclone.
The game one Hardpoint on Frequency went pretty much how everyone expected – a tightly fought battle that saw FC Black win by the thin margin of 250-242.

Yerr responded to the first map defeat with a resounding victory in the game two Search and Destroy on Arsenal, tying up the Grand Final score at one apiece.
It was a pretty balanced effort for Yerr in the game, as four of the five players finished with at least six EKIA, two of whom had eight or more.
With the Grand Final now tied, the game three Control on Frequency would prove to be a very pivotal match, and Yerr ended up taking the map 3-1 to push their opponents to the brink going into game four.
