TUE 8/20 - eUnited take the Call of Duty World League Championship, Russia surprises at the PUBG Nations Cup

Hello, friends and welcome to Tuesday August 20th. Today we cover eUnited winning the Call of Duty World League Championship, and Russia’s surprise win at the PUBG Nations Cup. Let’s do this.
What is up my friends and welcome back to the UEG podcast. I am your host, the Choice, your voice for esports!
Over the weekend we had the butt clenching matches between the world’s top call of duty players and on Sunday it all came to a head between 100Thieves and eUnited fighting for the title of World Champion.
The matches were quite a display of skill, and after a long back and forth bout, eUnited pull the win and the title for the second time in a row.
Last month eUnited managed to win the CWL Pro League Finals in Miami making them back to back Champions… Someone call DrDisrespect on the flip phone…
Anyways, the team took home a cool $800k and the title, beating 100thieves with a 3-2.

Russia comes in hot with the win in this year’s PUBG Nations Cup. Apparently South Korea was the favorite to win the Cup. 
ESPN writes; “They were the favorite going in, had a constant lead throughout the first three two days of competition, and they had an incredible homefield advantage. But in the last three matches of the tournament, South Korea played it safe, opting to avoid conflict rather than take other teams head-on.”
The only problem is… the event itself had some blatant failures. Teams were disconnecting from their matches in the middle of the tournament, and there were some cries of unfair advantages for teams.
Aside from that, Russia really played their hearts out and it shows.
Next up for PUBG is the Global Championships taking place in Los Angeles and finishing up in Oakland in November. 
Exciting times for PUBG, honestly. Their viewership numbers have really increased and I’m interested to see what kind of interaction there will be in the community.
