Group A Gets Complicated as Last Two Matches Decide Fate of Four Teams at CWL Champs
Group A at the 2018 CWL Championship has the potential to get very interesting as Group Play winds down.
While Groups B through D all have at least one team eliminated from CWL Champs following the end of day one, Group A still has the chance to see a wild turn of events where any of the four teams can qualify for the Championship Bracket.
Even though Epsilon currently sits at 0-2 with a 1-6 map count, it is still mathematically possible for them to move on to the Championship Bracket if a few instances go in their favor.

Only two matches remain in Group A on day two of CWL Champs – Team Kaliber vs Epsilon and Team Heretics vs Lightning Pandas – with map count heavily coming into play to determine which teams are eliminated.
If Epsilon wins 3-0 against Team Kaliber and Lightning Pandas beats Heretics, then Epsilon will move on to the Championship Bracket with Lightning Pandas based on various tie-breakers.
