New Schedule for Stage 2
With the start of Stage 2 of the Pro Division Stage last week, we’ve introduced Thursday matches to the schedule to give a platform for some of the best match-ups the European region has to offer.

Europe Transfer Window
TCM Gaming’s CWL squad were sold to the French organisation Team LDLC. On the back of that deal, Team LDLC have sold their spot in the European Pro Division to another French organisation, Supremacy. The move makes the new LDLC squad the third UK line-up under French ownership.

Epsilon eSports, Splyce & Team Infused back on track
Week 1 saw a good start for Epsilon eSports, Splyce and Team Infused, with each team securing 2 victories.

Vitality: Should we be concerned?
Stage 2 didn’t start so easily for the French Team, with 2 losses, but Gotaga – “the French Monster” – and his team will have plenty of occasions to fight back. The other French team, Supremacy, made a promising entrance in the Pro Division by beating Millenium, the Stage 1 Champions, in their second match.

ESWC
ESWC will take place in Paris from 6th – 8th May. This is the first LAN event of the European CWL Stage 2. Thousands of fans are expected to attend across the 3 days, with a cash prize of $50K for the winning team.

100 Thieves
Matt “Nadeshot” Haag has announced that he’s started his own CWL organization, 100 Thieves, generating a strong social base almost instantly, which they capitalised on with their first win.

Down Under
Optic Gaming won the Crown Casino Invitational – the first international CWL LAN event in Melbourne Australia.
