Prior to the esports reveal, the CWL had already announced the date for the first event of the CWL 2019 season. The first major Black Ops 4 LAN will be the CWL Las Vegas Open and will run from Friday, December 7 to Sunday, December 9.
Black Ops 4 is scheduled to be released on October 12, which gives players, pros and streamers almost two months to hone their skills and get ready for Vegas.
Based on some of the crazy Blackout highlights we’ve seen since the private beta went live on Monday, there should be no shortage of talent showing up in Vegas come December.
