Over this past weekend, the Call of Duty World Championship Seattle Open was held at CenturyLink Field Event Center. The competition was held over three days and saw a dramatic win for Rise Nation.
After finding themselves in the Losers Bracket, Rise Nation made an historic run back to the back to the Grand Final match against Team Evil Geniuses. It was especially exciting given the Seattle Open was the first ever event held in the Pacific Northwestern, United States.
The teams played Call of Duty: WWII on PlayStation 4.

- 2nd – Evil Geniuses
