Team eLevate's dramatic fall from second place at MLG Anaheim to missing the Stage 2 playoffs marks one of competitive Call of Duty's most notable downturns. The team, consisting of Aqua, Faccento, Nagafen, and FeLony (who replaced Remy), showed immense promise early in the season.

Their unique playstyle and strong Uplink game helped them secure fourth place in Stage 1's regular season. After roster changes and early struggles in Stage 2, they found momentum and peaked with an impressive second-place finish at MLG Anaheim, nearly defeating OpTic Gaming in the finals.

However, their success was short-lived. eLevate won only one of their final six matches in Stage 2, culminating in three crucial losses:

• A defeat to Team EnVyUs in a continued match
• A shocking loss to bottom-ranked 100 Thieves (led by their former teammate Remy)
• A devastating reverse sweep by Rise Nation in their final match

This collapse left eLevate in 9th place, missing the playoffs entirely. The team's downfall appeared linked to declining confidence and team chemistry, particularly evident in Aqua's public concerns about Championship qualification on social media.

With 60 CWL points, eLevate sits precariously in 6th place, with Dream Team, Cloud9, and H2k (40 points each) threatening their automatic qualification for the Call of Duty World League Championship. Their future remains uncertain, with potential roster changes looming, despite Aqua's strong individual performance throughout the season.
