Additionally, the CWL will host the previously announced CWL Anaheim Open on June 16 - 18 – which will include the qualifier for Stage 2 of the CWL Global Pro League. This competition will feature the bottom four placing teams from the CWL Global Pro League Stage 1 against teams from regional qualifiers.
