Epsilon Esports’ all-British Call of Duty team will not be playing at London’s Gfinity Arena World League tournament this month due to an email blunder.
It seems that team captain Stephen “Vortex” Allen (second from right) forgot to send the email needed for team registration on time, as reported by Millenium.
Can’t go because I fucked up the email that had to be sent the other night, would’ve been 10th seed, nothing to do with PPs

His teammates posted some frustrated tweets following the news:
Not going gfin now, due to our own faults, now we’ve gotta play in open bracket at Atlanta and ESWC, ahhh this is gonna be fun?

Dave “dqvee” managed to see the funny side and make a meme of his teammate Vortex berating him for the mistake:

Epsilon were the tenth seed but because they failed to send the registration email on time, they will now look to play in the open bracket at MLG Atlanta and ESWC Winter instead.
Unless a team willingly drops out to make way for Epsilon at the CoD World League in London from January 27th to 29th, it looks like they will be missing out on it.
The Call of Duty World League will be stopping off in London, Birmingham and Sheffield this year.
