(Photo credit: Bruce Kluckhohn-Imagn Images) After a pair of thrilling semifinals, the final turned out to be the most one-sided match of the tournament as OpTic Gaming dominated the Vancouver Surge 4-0 on Sunday to win the Call of Duty Black Ops 6 tournament at the Esports World Cup in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The win not only netted OpTic the $600,000 grand prize but also earned the team a berth in the 2026 Esports World Cup. OpTic also received 1,000 club points in the EWC standings, their first points of the event. The Surge took home $320,000. The day began with the four group winners facing off in the semifinals, sporting a combined 12-0 record since play began. The Surge opened the day with a 250-241 win over KOI on Red Card Hardpoint. KOI responded with a 6-2 win on Dealership Search and Destroy. The teams split the next two maps, as well, with the Surge winning 3-2 on Vault Control and KOI taking Vault Hardpoint 250-161. In the deciding map, the Surge escaped with a 6-5 win on Protocol Search and Destroy. OpTic took a much different path to the final, losing the first two maps in their semifinal against Team Heretics -- 250-249 on Skyline Hardpoint and 6-5 on Rewind Search and Destroy. But it was all OpTic from there, as the club won 3-2 on Hacienda Control, 250-186 on Rewind Hardpoint and 6-3 on Protocol Search and Destroy. Then came the stunner. After jumping in front with a 250-236 result on Rewind Hardpoint, OpTic took a 2-0 lead on the Surge by winning Protocol Search and Destroy 6-1. Vancouver could not mount any sort of comeback, however, and fell 3-1 on Protocol Control and 250-118 on Hacienda Hardpoint. KOI edged Heretics 3-2 in the third-place match, winning $200,000.
