UNILAD Esports Qualify for the CWL Pro League Stage 2 Playoffs
European based Call of Duty pro team UNILAD Esports have officially qualified for the CWL Pro Leage Stage 2 Playoffs.
The org became the first team from Division B to clinch a spot in the postseason, joining Division A’s Red Reserve as the only two non-NA teams in the Playoffs.
Coming into the eighth and final week of the Pro League, UNILAD sat in third place with a strong 7-3 record. Their Day One schedule consisted of two matches, against Mindfreak and Tainted Minds respectively.
After sweeping Mindfreak, UNILAD knew that a subsequent victory against Tainted Minds would qualify them, but things did not have to get to that. CompLexity Gaming’s victory against Luminosity ensured that, through tiebreakers, UNILAD could not finish outside of the top four.
With their remaining two matches being against OpTic Gaming and Rise Nation, they will have a golden opportunity to finish as the first overall seed.
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 up for grabs.
