Luminosity’s triumph was thanks in part to the stellar performance from
star player Peirce 'Gunless' Hillman, who was named CWL Fort Worth event
MVP.
Over 180 amateur Call of Duty esports teams battled in their own
tournament featuring a dedicated prize pool. Ultimately, it was FaZe
Clan Black that ran the gauntlet to capture the inaugural amateur CWL
Fort Worth MTN DEW® AMP® GAME FUEL® Open Bracket championship; a new
tournament structure from the Call of Duty World League designed to give
amateur hopefuls their own platform of competition.
