Atlanta, GA & Toronto, CA
BY Andrew Miesner / March 9, 2018
compLexity takes to the skies today as members of both our Call of Duty and Hearthstone squads head to opposite ends of North America. To the north, Jordan “TheJordude” Hong Tai heads to Toronto, Canada for EGLX, Canada’s largest video game expo. There he will compete in HCT Toronto, as $15,000 and Championship Tour points are up for grabs. Up to 256 players will compete in an open Swiss bracket to narrow down to the Top 8. The Top 8 players will advance to a Single Elimination Playoffs bracket.
#coLofDuty, fresh of their own visit to Toronto, will head to Atlanta, Georgia for CWL Atlanta where $250,000 and 25,000 Pro Points are ripe for the taking.
