The roster of Joshua-Lee \u201cJoshh\u201d Shephard, David \u201cDqvee\u201d Davies, Billy \u201cHawqeh\u201d Harries, and Stephen \u201cVortex\u201d Allen came through the losers bracket to defeat Splyce, a team that many experts consider to be the best in Europe. Splyce\u2013Ben \u201cBance\u201d Bance, Jordan \u201cJurd\u201d Crowley, Dylan \u201cMadCat\u201d Daly, Trei \u201cZer0\u201d Morris\u2013 dominated the early portion of this EU-only tournament, not dropping a single map until the winners bracket finals. Epsilon also played well to begin the weekend, going 3-0 in pool play and only losing three maps prior to the winners bracket finals. Splyce ran through Fnatic and Elevate, while Epsilon took down iGame and Red Reserve to guarantee a top-three finish in Birmingham. These two teams met in a back-and-forth winners bracket finals, but Splyce emerged victorious 3-2, knocking Epsilon down into the losers bracket. After their first-round loss to Splyce, Fnatic made a remarkable run through the losers bracket, taking down Red Reserve and Millenium before facing off against Epsilon in the losers bracket finals. Epsilon made quick work of Fnatic, defeating them 3-0 to advance to the grand finals for a shot at redemption against Splyce. Epsilon earned a quick 3-0 in the first grand finals series, and most Call of Duty spectators were stunned. Most were expecting Splyce to bounce back in the second grand finals series, but Epsilon won 3-0 once again. After winning the CWL Birmingham championship and $20,000, Epsilon has now established itself as a serious contender. They were the only team to defeat Splyce in a map this weekend, let alone a series; their map count against the kings of Europe was an astonishing 8-3. Epsilon will try to ride the momentum from their recent success when they travel across the pond for the CWL Global Pro League in Columbus, Ohio from May 5 to 7. Splyce, on the other hand, has a quick turnaround, since they will play in the first week of the CWL Global Pro League on April 21 to 23.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16151"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/917"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16151"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16151\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61015"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16151"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16151"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16151"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=16151"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=16151"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=16151"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=16151"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

The roster of Joshua-Lee \u201cJoshh\u201d Shephard, David \u201cDqvee\u201d Davies, Billy \u201cHawqeh\u201d Harries, and Stephen \u201cVortex\u201d Allen came through the losers bracket to defeat Splyce, a team that many experts consider to be the best in Europe. Splyce\u2013Ben \u201cBance\u201d Bance, Jordan \u201cJurd\u201d Crowley, Dylan \u201cMadCat\u201d Daly, Trei \u201cZer0\u201d Morris\u2013 dominated the early portion of this EU-only tournament, not dropping a single map until the winners bracket finals. Epsilon also played well to begin the weekend, going 3-0 in pool play and only losing three maps prior to the winners bracket finals. Splyce ran through Fnatic and Elevate, while Epsilon took down iGame and Red Reserve to guarantee a top-three finish in Birmingham. These two teams met in a back-and-forth winners bracket finals, but Splyce emerged victorious 3-2, knocking Epsilon down into the losers bracket. After their first-round loss to Splyce, Fnatic made a remarkable run through the losers bracket, taking down Red Reserve and Millenium before facing off against Epsilon in the losers bracket finals. Epsilon made quick work of Fnatic, defeating them 3-0 to advance to the grand finals for a shot at redemption against Splyce. Epsilon earned a quick 3-0 in the first grand finals series, and most Call of Duty spectators were stunned. Most were expecting Splyce to bounce back in the second grand finals series, but Epsilon won 3-0 once again. After winning the CWL Birmingham championship and $20,000, Epsilon has now established itself as a serious contender. They were the only team to defeat Splyce in a map this weekend, let alone a series; their map count against the kings of Europe was an astonishing 8-3. Epsilon will try to ride the momentum from their recent success when they travel across the pond for the CWL Global Pro League in Columbus, Ohio from May 5 to 7. Splyce, on the other hand, has a quick turnaround, since they will play in the first week of the CWL Global Pro League on April 21 to 23.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16151"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/917"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16151"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16151\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61015"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16151"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16151"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16151"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=16151"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=16151"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=16151"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=16151"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
