They took down Elevate 3-1 on Wednesday and swept Supremacy in their first match on Thursday. Related: Pool play results for the 2018\u00a0Call of Duty\u00a0World League Championship But in their second series today, OpTic ran into Patrick \"ACHES\" Price and Evil Geniuses. ACHES is known for eliminating the Green Wall from CoD\u00a0Champs\u2014and that's exactly what he did today. After losing to Elevate earlier today, ACHES, Bryan \"Apathy\" Zhelyazkov, Adam \"Assault\" Garcia, and Justin \"SiLLY\" Fargo-Palmer needed a big victory over OpTic to keep their own\u00a0CoD Champs hopes alive.\u00a0 Evil Geniuses opened up their showdown with OpTic by taking Gibraltar Hardpoint 250-205. They followed this up with a 6-3 win on Ardennes Forest Search and Destroy. With a 2-0 series lead, Evil Geniuses secured the sweep with a strong second half on Ardennes Forest Capture the Flag, leading to a\u00a02-1\u00a0victory in map three. This crushing loss eliminated OpTic from this year's $1.5 million tournament\u2014the Green Wall finished 2-1 alongside EG and Elevate, but their slightly-lower winning percentage cost them in the end. The WWII\u00a0season has been full of disappointment for OpTic Gaming fans. But after winning\u00a0CoD\u00a0Champs last year, Green Wall fans are likely devastated that their favorite team is heading home early from the biggest event of the year.\u00a0\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/16230856\/CWL_Anaheim_Day_3_16.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40081"}],"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=40081"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40081\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40082"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40081"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40081"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40081"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=40081"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=40081"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=40081"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=40081"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
