A set of incredible statistics show the average placement of 150 Call of Duty pro players across the WWII competitive season thus far.
With the return of ‘boots on the ground’ combat, the 2018 CWL Season on Call of Duty: WWII gained a substantial amount of traction and hype prior to its start in December.
The first major LAN event, CWL Dallas, saw an incredible turnout by both players and spectators, which kicked off the highly competitive season with Team Kaliber taking home first place over Splyce.
A total of four major Open events have been played since Dallas, not including the regular season and playoffs for Stage One of the CWL Pro League over between January and April.
With so many chances at competition, a collection of different teams have made their case as the best squad in the game, with four different teams taking home championships since December.
Now that the beginning of Stage Two is right around the corner, a Reddit user by the name of DareeToBeput together a table of the average placements of 180 professional and amateur players, with Peirce ‘Gunless’ Hillman coming in at number one with 2.7 over five major LANs.
The Call of Duty League’s 2021 campaign is just around the corner, but before the Black Ops Cold War professional season starts, the preseason has kicked off with the Kickoff Classic – where fans finally get to see the league’s best compete.

Guerrillas outlast Surge in year’s first Map 5
iLLeY’s clutch plays ruin Clayster’s grudge match in 3-0 win vs. Subliners
The Dallas Empire were the best Call of Duty team in 2020 and that form has lasted into 2021. The day started with 2020 MVP Anthony ‘Shotzzy’ Cuevas-Castro racking up 35 kills and just 17 deaths with almost two minutes of hill time on Map 1, but then it became the Indervir ‘iLLeY’ Dhaliwal show as the upsurging player hit star form with some huge clutches.
With Empire cleaning up their former teammate James ‘Clayster’ Eubanks’ New York Subliners, the day moved on with two tight Map 5’s. First, Bryan ‘Apathy’ Zhelyazkov and the Los Angeles Guerrillas outdueled a revamped Seattle Surge 3-2 and then, in a twist few saw coming, the Florida Mutineers came back against the Atlanta FaZe.
As Cesar ‘Skyz’ Bueno returned to the form that earned him MVP candidacy in 2020, the Mutineers flew back from a 2-1 deficit and eventually clinched the 3-2 victory against a FaZe team who stood near the top of most standings for this season.
