Final Qualifying Push for Teams

Atlanta Faze Clash with London Royal Ravens
Both Atlanta FaZe and London Royal have proved worthy in the qualifying round of the Call of Duty League’s Major 4 with victories over the Toronto Ultra and the Minnesota Rokkr, respectively. FaZe defeated Toronto Ultra by a 3-0 score, while the Royal took down Minnesota by a 3-1 win.
Although this will be a tough matchup on Friday, Atlanta Faze is predicted to come out on top as Chris “Simp” Lehr might be too much for the Ravens to handle.
Roster Move Should Help Paris Legion
Paris Legion made a roster change before the Major 4 qualifier, replacing John with Johnny. While they have been posting gameplay footage of players capable of scoring over 100 points, this version of the Legion did not show during the tournament’s first two weeks. They remain at 12th place on the table with 20 CDL points and have not shown much promise. Minnesota ROKKR, on the other hand, also sits in 9th place on the table but has performed better in the first two weeks.
Regardless, Paris Legion is predicted to win this matchup as Johnny is a player to look out for. This will be a tough matchup, but Paris Legion just might hold out against Minnesota ROKKR.
L.A. Thieves Look to Steal Qualifier Against Florida Mutineers
The Call of Duty match between Los Angeles Thieves and Florida Mutineers on Saturday will be a hot one. Florida Mutineers have been inconsistent in the Call of Duty League so far. They finally got a roster change with the additions of 2Real and Majormaniak, and they have performed well with skyz as a carry.
However, LA Thieves is predicted to win this matchup as they have proven to be the stronger team with Drazah on their side.
iLLeY Leading OpTic Texas
Optic Texas remains in second place, with iLLeY performing remarkably. Although they lost their last match in week 2, Optic Texas is predicted to win against Toronto Ultra. This is because they have maintained peak performance through most of their matches. Toronto Ultra, however, has not been able to find its mark.
