The Stage 2 bracket has been set Image courtesy of Call of Duty League Both Seattle and Florida struggled to maintain their form from the previous weeks with both sides going 0-2 to start off life in the lower bracket.

Atlanta, however, did suffer their first defeat on the season after going on a monstrous unbeaten run. It was business as usual for the Atlanta FaZe who topped their group.
