Call of Duty XP: Brits Splyce make history by reaching final but lose 3-1 to Americans Team EnVyUs who bag $800,000

BRITS Splyce made history today by reaching the final of the Call of Duty World League Championships - before being beaten in the final by American hotshots Team EnVyUs.

The UK squad became the first non-US outfit to reach a final of the COD Championships in its history after some incredible performances throughout the tournament.

But they were beaten 3-1 in the final at The Forum in Los Angeles, US, by Team EnVyUs who bagged themselves an eye-watering $800,000 (£600,000).

Jordan “JKAP” Kaplan, Team EnVyUs team captain, said: "Winning this event, in front of this crowd is a dream come true.

"The energy, the tension, and the competition were all amazing. This is a moment that I will remember for the rest of my life."

More than 110,000 gamers watched the action-packed final on Twitch along with a rammed Forum in Inglewood played out on a PS4 version of Black Ops 3.

Splyce took a surprise 1-0 lead by winning the first game 250 to 196 in Hardpoint.

They were pegged-back 6-2 in Search and Destroy before being defeated 13-10 in Uplink then painfully losing 4 to 2 in Capture the Flag.

Rob Kostich, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Call of Duty at Activision, added: "The excitement and energy today was huge.

"What a great finals match and tournament.  We created the CWL to celebrate great competition and the best fans in the world.

"Congratulations to Team EnVyUs and thanks to the entire Call of Duty community for making Call of Duty XP the most amazing fan celebration in the world."

Meanwhile, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare multiplayer and COD: Modern Warfare Remastered were revealed at XP.

Infinite Warfare launches on PS4, Xbox One, and PC on November 4, this year.
