Favorites in the tournament went down early on. Prophecy was coming in hot after their first round win over Mutiny, suddenly got a shock when they were defeated 3-2 by sYnergy. Another favorite to go down early was OpTic Nation. Though they made quick work of Geared 4 Gaming, Nation got compeltely crushed by the iSolation Empire squad in what was a 3-0 victory. But due to the tournament being double elimination, both teams still have one more chance to get in heading into Sunday.
Another favorite coming in was Epsilon. Unlike other favorites, they go into Sunday undefeated. Epsilon took a tough match against Strictly Business 3-2 on Friday, and on Saturday steamrolled the competition. Going through Dream Team Purple in 3-0 fashion. They would then take on sYnergy in a match to qualify for Season 3. Epsilon would take the match 3-1 over sYnergy.
The other team that qualified wasn't as predictable. Orbit tried to make it look easy, but it really wasn't. They would take on Enigma6 on Friday and win that match 3-1. Heading into Saturday, Orbit would take on VexX first. After taking a dominating 2-0 lead, Orbit let VexX back in it to tie the series 2-2. But Orbit would end up taking Game 5 to win the series 3-2. Then to qualify, Orbit had to take on iSolation Empire. Once again, Orbit would take a 2-0 lead and then watch it wash away to become a 2-2 series. Before finally becoming composed, Orbit, led by their AR Slayer Faccento, would clutch up to take the series 3-2 and qualify for Season 3 of the MLG Call of Duty Pro League.
