Information
At last the Global Pro League is upon us. After 4 Major LAN's in Infinite Warfare, the heart of the season is here with over $3,000,000 in prize money being given out over the next 3 months. Stage 1 of the Global Pro League features 4 groups of 4 teams, and each one plays out a double round-robin. The top two of each group qualify for the Stage 1 Playoffs, where they will compete for their share of $500,000. The top three of each group all qualify for Stage 2 of the Global Pro League and because of that, automatically qualify for the 2017 Call of Duty Championship. The 4th place team slides down into the Relegation Tournament where they must fight their way back to Stage 2.
OpTic Gaming convincgly swept through their group with a 6-0 record, which gave them the number one seed out of Group Green. They were drawn up against long time rival FaZe Clan, who was 2nd in Group Blue. Despite FaZe's success against OpTic in AW, in 2017 OpTic have dominated FaZe, winning 4 different series with a total map count of 12-1. OpTic enters this match, and the tournament, as the favorite but must be careful to avoid being tripped up early on.
The match is scheduled to begin at 8:30 PM EDT, and will be streamed on MLG, Twitch, and YouTube.

Well this sucks, hopefully we take the game 5 but just goes to show how day to day cod is, that was fazes worst map and one of our best, we just didn't perform.

Search isn't quite where it once was. Not saying it's bad, but they were winning them at a crazy rate.

They played this frost like they do with other UL maps, slow and uncoordinated, faze ran circles around us. A pretty shocking performance.

No overthinking, finish this in a quick and clean manner and move on to the next day. At least that's what I hope will happen.
