After 8 months, the inaugural season of the franchised Call of Duty League is finally drawing to a close through the Toronto Online Home Series this weekend. Running from the 24-26th July, there’s so much more than $100,000 as the 8 competing teams desperately fight for points ahead of the seeding for the largest event in the competitive Call of Duty League history – Call of Duty Champs 2020.
The following are the eight teams attending the event according to their groups:
Group A
- Chicago Huntsmen
- Seattle Surge
- Toronto Ultra
- Optic Gaming LA
Group B
- Atlanta FaZe
- Minnesota Rokkr
- Florida Mutineers
- Dallas Empire
To begin with, one could say that this is the most stacked event of the season, as the top 4 teams in the standings are here and all have the opportunity to finish in first place this season with ATL Faze at 250, Dallas at 240 with Chicago and Florida at 220 points respectively.
The other 4 attending teams have the opportunity to shake things up too – by denying and upsetting supposedly better teams and also shaking things up at the lower end of the leaderboard.
In terms of predictions, for Group A, it seems clear that the two favourites to emerge victoriously are the Chicago Huntsmen and beside them a strong Optic Gaming LA. Seattle Surge is looking too weak to shake things up at this stage of their roster while although Toronto managed to take down FaZe last event, nobody can rely on them to step up again.
Meanwhile over on Group B, things are a lot trickier, it would seem. Rokkr sits between a rock and a hard place as they helplessly sit between one large dog fight. Most have Florida Mutineers and Dallas Empire coming out on top – having to doubt FaZe Atlanta due to their poor showing in the last few events.
The stakes for the 2020 Call of Duty League Championship:
- Top 2 start off in the Winner’s Semi-finals
- 3-4th start off in the Winner’s Quarterfinals
- 5-8th start off in the Winner’s Round 1
- 9-12th start off in the Loser’s Round 1
