ORBIT
Orbit scored the #1 seed in Stage 2 heading into the Finals, dethroning Mindfreak’s #1 seed from Stage 1. The team had the best record in the ANZ CWL, ending Stage 2 12-2. Orbit were unable to make it past the semifinals at the Stage 1 Finals, so everything is on the line for them to secure a spot in the grand finals this time around. Being the #1 seed, they will face off against Team Immunity first, who they are undefeated against.
Roster:
• Nimble
• Swiftaz0r
• bacabec

MINDFREAK
Stage 1 champions Mindfreak are known as one of the best Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 teams in ANZ. They have been on a roll in Stage 2 and in many of the Challenge Division events. Mindfreak fell short in some key matches during the regular season, which put them in second place with an 11-3 record.
Roster:
• BuZZo
• Denz
• Fighta
• Shockz
CHIEFS ESPORTS CLUB
The Stage 2 Finals will be the first finals that Chiefs eSports Club will attend in the Call of Duty World League. After failing to qualify for the Stage 1 Finals, they were able to pick up the slack and push forward in Stage 2. At the end of the season, they finished with the same win-loss ratio as returning champions Mindfreak, but because of map-win percentage, they are the third seed going into the Stage 2 Finals. Their first matchup at the finals will be up against Mindfreak. In regular season play, both teams have won once again each other. This final time, however, it’s all on the line, as each time only has one chance to advance.
Roster:
• Dean
• Hopey
• Macka
• Rival
