Luminosity’s triumph was thanks in part to the stellar performance from star player Peirce 'Gunless' Hillman, who was named CWL Fort Worth event MVP.

Over 180 amateur Call of Duty esports teams battled in their own tournament featuring a dedicated prize pool. Ultimately, it was FaZe Clan Black that ran the gauntlet to capture the inaugural amateur CWL Fort Worth MTN DEW® AMP® GAME FUEL® Open Bracket championship; a new tournament structure from the Call of Duty World League designed to give amateur hopefuls their own platform of competition.
