Here is The Update for the week of Feb. 18.
Call of Duty is finally back in action
After a long wait for the Call of Duty team, eUnited is set to take the stage at the MLG Studios in Columbus, Ohio for regular season play in the CWL Pro League beginning Monday.
The squad will play seven matches across two weeks in Division B of the league, which features 16 of the top teams across the globe.
eUnited will kick off Division B’s opening week against Spanish organization Team Heretics, who shocked the Call of Duty community by qualifying for the league at a last chance qualifier last month.
The squad will also go to battle against Enigma 6 Group, Excelerate Gaming and 100 Thieves throughout the week.
Each match win will net eUnited a $2,500 bonus and 1,000 CWL Pro Points per player.

PUBG continues to fight in NPL Phase One
After three weeks, eUnited’s PUBG team finds themselves with work left to do.
