Priestahh and Simp combine for the first two kills before Asim and GodRx answer straight back to force the 3v3. GodRx wins another with the pistol before the rest of Atlanta fall to draw first blood.

Nothing doing for Simp and his sniper as Minnesota take the lead. 3-2 to the RØKKR.

2-2. Nothing is separating these two teams. Such a high level of play.
Sunday, March 8th - 11.14PM GMT

Atlanta get the spawns for the first cave hill! Minnesota are still holding strong but must consider the rotation to stay in the game.
Sunday, March 8th - 11.00PM GMT
Still all to play for after the first rotation of hills! It could still go either way.
Sunday, March 8th - 10.59PM GMT
The AR battle begins! Minnesota hold strong as Atlanta move towards the next hill. The boys in purple manage to take the lead but the early rotation immediately pays off for the FaZe.
Sunday, March 8th - 10.57PM GMT
Minnesota opt for the early rotation but there's a FaZe player playing the sneaky beaver! The RØKKR need to flush him out.
Sunday, March 8th - 10.56PM GMT
He does just that! The FaZe players spawn close to the hill but Minnesota are still trying to flood through the cave.
Sunday, March 8th - 10.55PM GMT
Minnesota do a much better job at preventing any Atlanta players getting spawns but Simp sneaks past in an attempt to get spawns for the next hill.
Sunday, March 8th - 10.54PM GMT
We are back underway on Azhir Cave Hardpoint and we are going to have a FULL RESTART!
Sunday, March 8th - 10.51PM GMT
How is this pause going to affect the teams? Atlanta were starting to build some momentum but Minnesota did manage to secure early control of the second hill when the pause came in. It's going to come down to which team can get back up to speed the quickest.
Sunday, March 8th - 10.49PM GMT
What a start from aBeZy! His early slaying secures spawns for the second hill. AND WE HAVE A PAUSE!
Sunday, March 8th - 10.48PM GMT
Here we GO! Azhir Cave will be our first game. This map is a paradise for the AR players so keep your eyes on them to make the impact around the map.
Sunday, March 8th - 10.46PM GMT
This next match has all the makings of a classic! I don't think I can call it!. If Alexx and GodRx are on top form, then Minnesota has a real chance at toppling the league leaders.
Sunday, March 8th - 10.41PM GMT
The Empire makes its second consecutive grand finals! Do they have what it takes to secure the W?

Sunday, March 8th - 2.43AM GMT
Hard to argue with the keys to victory! GodRx and Alexx have been dominating as two of the more aggressive players for Minnesota. Can this Anglo-American partnership achieve success against OGLA and maybe go all the way and take the tournament?!

Sunday, March 8th - 1.23AM GMT
One of these two teams is going to walk away with no points from the Los Angeles Home Series. If Florida advance, it's a W after making a last minute substitution but if New York continue, it's a sign that demoting Zer0 to the bench may have been the right decision after all.

Sunday, March 8th - 12.22AM GMT
Here we go. The Empire respond with a very strong hold of the Restaurant hill. They're right back in it as the second rotation of hills gets underway.
Sunday, March 8th - 12.21AM GMT
We are off to the races on St. petrograd Hardpoint! Atlanta have a huge lead as we near the end of the first rotation of hills. Any response from Dallas?
Sunday, March 8th - 12.15AM GMT
The winner of this match secures a place in the top four. Shotzzy and iLLeY are going to have to be on top form if they are to have any chance of overthrowing Atlanta.
Sunday, March 8th - 12.13AM GMT
A bold prediction from caster Merk who thinks that this is going to be a simple sweep for Atlanta. What do you think? Tweet us!

Arguably the match of the day so far, the Empire and the FaZe are both looking to advance into the knockout bracket
Sunday, March 8th - 12.01AM GMT
Does the Empire have what it takes to take down the best team in the league? Is it going to be business as usual for Atlanta? This has all the makings of a classic.

GG! OpTic Gaming LA complete the reverse sweep and reign supreme in Los Angeles! They advance to play Minnesota in the qualifying game while the Guerrillas drop down to face Seattle Surge.
Saturday, March 7th - 11.54PM GMT
Map and match point for OGLA! Surely not another throw from the Green Wall?!
Saturday, March 7th - 11.52PM GMT
4-3 to OGLA... This is going the distance isn't it.
Saturday, March 7th - 11.51PM GMT
All tied up! The new members of the Guerrillas proving their value.
Saturday, March 7th - 11.50PM GMT
We need to take another look at that filthy play from Vivid:

Vivid obliterates three OGLA players and gets the bomb down to force the hand of the Green Wall! 3-2 in favour of OGLA.
Saturday, March 7th - 11.47PM GMT
OpTic find a third round. Can the Guerrillas assert some authority back into the game?
Saturday, March 7th - 11.42PM GMT
First blood for OGLA. Guerrillas score the first kill once again but to no avail.
Saturday, March 7th - 11.40PM GMT
Game five, Arlkov Peak S&D. The bragging rights are on the line. OGLA looking to secure the reverse sweep while the Guerrillas want to close out the series.

Think I spoke too soon... OpTic expertly flip the spawns in preparation for the fifth and final hill of the rotation.
Saturday, March 7th - 11.33PM GMT
Oh my Decemate! He takes down five OGLA players to keep hold of P2! They also secure early control of the third hill! GAME ON!
Saturday, March 7th - 11.31PM GMT
OpTic are running away with this. It's all going to come down to the battle for P2 spawns. Can the Green Wall pull away or can the explosive slayers of the Guerrillas stop the bleeding.
Saturday, March 7th - 11.30PM GMT
The Guerrillas rotate early but the Green Wall comes flying in to break the hold as they take the lead.
Saturday, March 7th - 11.27PM GMT
OpTic has the spawns for the second hill but the Guerrillas still try to force the issue! LAG eventually give up and make the early rotation to coal.
Saturday, March 7th - 11.23PM GMT
Does the Green Wall have what it takes to take the series to a deciding S&D? Can the Guerrillas win the battle of LA? We are about to find out as we head to Gun Runner Hardpoint!
Saturday, March 7th - 11.20PM GMT - LA Guerrillas 2-1 OpTic Gaming LA
OpTic has two flags on lockdown. It's all but over for the Guerrillas as OGLA take Hackney Yard Domination to close gap in the series.
Saturday, March 7th - 11.16PM GMT
HT: Guerrillas 66-94 OGLA. The Green Wall is still standing... just. Can they hold on to take the series to a game four?
Saturday, March 7th - 11.13PM GMT
OGLA show some signs of life, securing a 17-point lead the Guerrillas battle to establish control of the warehouse.
Saturday, March 7th - 11.11PM GMT
We head to Hackney Yard once again for game three. Is there anything left in the tank for OpTic Gaming? The Green Wall is about to be knocked to the ground by the Guerrillas, who have been seriously impressive on the tournament debut.
Saturday, March 7th - 11.08PM GMT
If OGLA lose then what is next for them? A roster change? Who stays and who goes?
Saturday, March 7th - 11.05PM GMT
Is there any way back for OGLA as they stare down the barrel of their fifth consecutive loss?

ROUND 11!!!
Saturday, March 7th - 11.00PM GMT
Slasher secures the 1v2 but there's no time left on the bomb! 5-4 to OGLA... Is the comeback on for the Guerrillas?
Saturday, March 7th - 10.57PM GMT
The Guerrillas aren't done yet. They secure their third round but OG only need one to tie up the series.
Saturday, March 7th - 10.55PM GMT
Despite the first blood success for the Guerrillas, OGLA secure map point as they look to level the series.
Saturday, March 7th - 10.53PM GMT
The Guerrillas answer back immediately with a round of their own. 4-2 to the Green Wall.
Saturday, March 7th - 10.53PM GMT
4-1 to the Green Wall. The aggression from Kuavo really paying off as he leads the lobby with 10 kills to his name.
Saturday, March 7th - 10.51PM GMT
Just like that! The Guerrillas halt the A push to get their first round on the board.
Saturday, March 7th - 10.50PM GMT
Three in a row for the Green Wall. Looking like the lack of practice might be showing for the Guerrillas.
Saturday, March 7th - 10.49PM GMT
Kuavo with the hot hands! OGLA take the opening two rounds leaving the Guerrillas looking to respond.
Saturday, March 7th - 10.47PM GMT
OGLA draw first blood in game two. Some very nice aggression from the Green Wall.
Saturday, March 7th - 10.44PM GMT
Gun Runner S&D is next. The quality of practice for the Guerrillas is about to show as they take on a more practices OGLA team.
Saturday, March 7th - 10.43PM GMT
The newcomers to the Guerrillas excelled, bringing in some much-needed aggression to the team while Dashy and Slasher looked so much more comfortable with an SMG and an AR in hand.
Saturday, March 7th - 10.41PM GMT - OpTic Gaming LA 0-1 LA Guerrillas
The LA Guerrillas draw first blood in the battle for LA! They take Hackney Yard Hardpoint 250-234 to grab the early lead in the series. Expect the Green Wall to bounce back with a vengeance in game two.
Saturday, March 7th - 10.39PM GMT
The Guerrillas take the lead as we head to the final hill of the game!
Saturday, March 7th - 10.38PM GMT
The Guerillas have the early offices set-up leaving OpTic to make the break.
Saturday, March 7th - 10.37PM GMT
Excellent control of the tyre shop once again for the Green Wall. This is quickly getting out of hand for the Guerrillas. They need to respond.
Saturday, March 7th - 10.35PM GMT
OGLA hold a nine-point lead after the first rotation of hills. Which LA team is going to break the deadlock?
Saturday, March 7th - 10.32PM GMT
The Guerrillas now have the tricky task of breaking the tyre shop but OGLA are looking very strong in the early stages.
Saturday, March 7th - 10.30PM GMT
OGLA start on the favourable side of the map so keep an eye on the early battle for P2 spawns.
Saturday, March 7th - 10.30PM GMT
HERE. WE. GO. The battle of LA is... LIVE!
Saturday, March 7th - 10.23PM GMT
Hackney Yard is our first destination for the battle of Los Angeles. It's going to be interesting to see how Dashy performs in the SMG role against two top-rated amateur players.
Saturday, March 7th - 10.21PM GMT
The man, the myth, the legend that is Goldenboy! The CoD community has missed you.
Saturday, March 7th - 10.20PM GMT
I think this is the time OpTic Gaming LA get their first points on the board. Although the Guerrillas has bought in three new players to its starting line-up, I think that the Green Wall will manage to hold strong, but it's not going to be easy.
Saturday, March 7th - 10.16PM GMT
Are we going to see OpTic Gaming LA score its first points of the season? The Green Wall needs to before it falls too far behind the rest of the pack.
Saturday, March 7th - 10.12PM GMT
LA versus LA. I suspect that LA have a very strong chance at taking home a win here.
Saturday, March 7th - 10.07PM GMT
Looking back at previous events, new teams have often come out swinging during the first event after a change. Will this be the case or will the sheer amount of experience that OGLA possess stand strong in this series?
Saturday, March 7th - 10.02PM GMT
Vivid, Spart and Blazt in, Lacefield, Aches and Saints out, will that be the difference against an OpTic team that has undergone a role change? Slasher is back in familiar territory as the main AR player for the team while Dashy has moved into a more aggressive SMG role.
Saturday, March 7th - 10.00PM GMT - Los Angeles Guerrillas v OpTic Gaming Los Angeles
It's time for the battle of Los Angeles! A new-look Guerrillas take on the Green Wall who are still without a victory this season.

Great to see CoD legend RamboRay back on the mainstage! He'll be impressed with his Empire team as look to prepare for a showdown against Atlanta.
Saturday, March 7th - 9.52PM GMT - Dallas Empire 3-1 New York Subliners
THAT'S IT. The Dallas Empire take a very close Hackney Yard Hardpoint to secure the 3-1 series win. The Empire advance to take on the Atlanta FaZe later this evening! New York drop down to face the Florida Mutineers in an elimination match.
Saturday, March 7th - 9.50PM GMT
New York rotate early for the offices, leaving Dallas to flood into the hill and they break it! They're heading towards the win.
Saturday, March 7th - 9.49PM GMT
Dallas break the tyre shop AGAIN! This battle for the Smokestack is going to be crazy.
Saturday, March 7th - 9.48PM GMT
Here we go! Both teams spawn near the tyre shop and it's New York that manage to set up for the next hill.
Saturday, March 7th - 9.46PM GMT
Dallas has the slight slaying advantage but it is New York maintaining control of the offices to take the lead.
Saturday, March 7th - 9.45PM GMT
A WILD AK-47 APPEARS! You should go check out our weapon guide for that.
Saturday, March 7th - 9.44PM GMT
Cool, calm and collected communication from Dallas as they nearly breach the second hill.
Saturday, March 7th - 9.43PM GMT
This is the battle. Can Dallas break the sticky spawns for the second hill?
Saturday, March 7th - 9.42PM GMT
Hackney Yard Hardpoint is a GO! Dallas looking to secure the series win while New York are looking to stay alive.
Saturday, March 7th - 9.39PM GMT
A mercy rule for Domination would be perfect. Would make so much sense for it to be added when a game becomes out of reach for the losing team.
Saturday, March 7th - 9.38PM GMT - Dallas Empire 2-1 New York Subliners
Dallas take Hackney Yard Domination to take a 2-1 lead in the series. We stay on Hackney Yard for game four! New York won the first Hardpoint, can they rally and take the series to a fifth and final game?
Saturday, March 7th - 9.36PM GMT
It's looking very good for the Empire as they lock in two flags once again. New York has to act quickly before this game is done and dusted.
Saturday, March 7th - 9.33PM GMT
HT: Dallas 99-63 New York. A huge second half for the Subliners needed.
Saturday, March 7th - 9.31PM GMT
Dallas looking to end the opening half on the front foot with a solid hold of two flags.
Saturday, March 7th - 9.28PM GMT
Hackney Yard Domination is next! If game one is anything to go by, this is going to be so very close.

Not a bad debut for Happy so far. If he and the Subliners replicate the slaying performance from game one, they are right back in this series.
Saturday, March 7th - 9.21PM GMT - Dallas Empire 1-1 New York Subliners
All square as the superior defence from Dallas proves to be the difference. All to play for as we head to game three!
Saturday, March 7th - 9.19PM GMT
The Subliners stay alive. 5-4 in favour of the Empire.
Saturday, March 7th - 9.18PM GMT
The Dallas defence holds strong as they secure map point. Can New York answer back?
Saturday, March 7th - 9.16PM GMT
New York answer right back with some efficient trading. 4-3 to Dallas.
Saturday, March 7th - 9.15PM GMT
Accuracy has the positioning but iLLeY takes him down to secure a 4-2 lead for Dallas. Is it time for them to run away with the game?
Saturday, March 7th - 9.13PM GMT
Clayster wins the 1v1 by the narrowest of margins to give Dallas the lead! Two very evenly matched teams going toe-to-toe!
Saturday, March 7th - 9.11PM GMT
A very clean retake from Dallas levels the game at 2-2. Which team is going to grab the advantage?
Saturday, March 7th - 9.10PM GMT
New York taking it to one of the stronger S&D teams in the league. All to play for!
Saturday, March 7th - 9.08PM GMT
One round apiece as Huke hits some crisp snipes for the Empire in round two.
Saturday, March 7th - 9.06PM GMT
The patience pays off as New York retake the site to secure the opening round.
Saturday, March 7th - 9.04PM GMT
Piccadilly S&D is next! Keep a look out for the double sniper set-up for the Emipre when they attack an objective.
Saturday, March 7th - 9.01PM GMT - Dallas Empire 0-1 New York Subliners
New York strikes first! They take Gun Runner 250-219 to take the early lead. An extremely strong slaying showcase from the Subliners.
Saturday, March 7th - 9.00PM GMT
This is going to be a tall order for Dallas if they are to take the map. The battle for P2 spawns is on!
Saturday, March 7th - 8.58PM GMT
Dallas prioritising the spawns rather than commit for the hill. It gives New York a solid lead but a lot of pressure for Dallas to hold the warehouse to stay in the game.
Saturday, March 7th - 8.56PM GMT
New York hold P2 despite a full-blown offensive play from Dallas. They give it up and rotate, allowing the Subliners to hold a slender lead.
Saturday, March 7th - 8.54PM GMT
Dallas take the lead! Despite a very strong first rotation for New York, it's the Empire that finally establish some control heading into the second rotation.
Saturday, March 7th - 8.50PM GMT
A very good start for New York. They lock in the spawns for P2 and begin to establish the early lead.
Saturday, March 7th - 8.48PM GMT
Off we go!

We still haven't seen Dallas running on full cylinders. This is a real opportunity for the Empire to excel as we head towards the halfway stage of the season.
Saturday, March 7th - 8.44PM GMT
Gun Runner Hardpoint will be our first game of the series. Happy has the chance to stamp his authority in his first game for New York.
Saturday, March 7th - 8.41PM GMT
With many questions surrounding the team change for the Subliners, what can we expect from Happy? Can he make a resurgence after being out of the pro scene since 2016?
Saturday, March 7th - 8.34PM GMT - Players To Watch
Watch out for the young guns of Shotzzy and iLLeY for Dallas. For New York, ZooMaa and new addition Happy are going to be the ones to keep your eyes on.

Saturday, March 7th - 8.28PM GMT - Seattle Surge 1-3 Minnesota RØKKR
And it's GG! The Minnesota RØKKR take Rammaza Hardpoint to wrap up the series 3-1 over Seattle Surge. An improved performance for Seattle but they drop down to the lower bracket where they play either the LA Guerrillas or OpTic Gaming LA.
Saturday, March 7th - 8.26PM GMT
Just as Seattle look to have a perfect hold of the construction site, Minnesota break through to earn some valuable scrap time as we head to the arches.
Saturday, March 7th - 8.24PM GMT
The early rotation from Minnesota looks to have paid off as they begin to pull away. Is this the beginning of the end?!
Saturday, March 7th - 8.23PM GMT
Can you SMELLLLLLL what the RØKKR is cooking? The killfeed is all purple as they halt the progress of the Surge as we go to P2 for a second time.
Saturday, March 7th - 8.21PM GMT
And as soon as I say Seattle are leading, Minnesota come roaring back into the game.
Saturday, March 7th - 8.20PM GMT
Seattle respond with great control of the third hill to take a slight lead as we head to the construction site.
Saturday, March 7th - 8.19PM GMT
ALEXX IS ON FIRE. He has certainly had his Wheatabix.
Saturday, March 7th - 8.16PM GMT
The momentum is fully on the side of Minnesota heading into Rammaza Hardpoint. Seattle MUST shut down Alexx, who has been on fire throughout the series.
Saturday, March 7th - 8.13PM GMT - Seattle Surge 1-2 Minnesota RØKKR
It's mathematically impossible for Seattle to get back into the game. Minnesota take St. Petrograd Domination to re-take the series lead. Looking very good for the RØKKR to close out the series. Can Seattle force the game five?
Saturday, March 7th - 8.09PM GMT
Triple-cap secured for Minnesota. This is going to get rough quick for Seattle...
Saturday, March 7th - 8.08PM GMT
HT: Seattle 61-100 Minnesota. The Surge are going to have to come out swinging if they are to reduce the deficit.
Saturday, March 7th - 8.05PM GMT
Early control in favour of the RØKKR. How are Settle going to respond to this excellent slaying performance from Minnesota?
Saturday, March 7th - 8.03PM GMT
This is going to be a close one! Who takes the lead in the series? Seattle or Minnesota? Tweet us!
Saturday, March 7th - 8.01PM GMT
We stay on St. Petrograd for Domination. Do Seattle have what it takes to take down the strong slayers of Minnesota?
Saturday, March 7th - 7.58PM GMT
Perhaps Enable was the problem for Seattle... Pandur seems to be performing well alongside his new teammates. A solid tournament debut for him so far.
Saturday, March 7th - 7.56PM GMT - Seattle Surge 1-1 Minnesota RØKKR
ALL TIED UP! Seattle secure round eleven to take St. Petrograd S&D to level the series. The second S&D win for the Surge this season and what a time to do it.
Saturday, March 7th - 7.53PM GMT
ROUND 11! Can Seattle make the comeback?
Saturday, March 7th - 7.52PM GMT

Alexx continues to make plays! He secures Minnesota's fourth round.
Saturday, March 7th - 7.45PM GMT
Apathy pops his Dead Silence and scores two quick kills, opening up the bombsite for the Surge to secure their second of the game. Game on?

SEATTLE WIN A ROUND! Down but certainly not out. 3-1 in favour of Minnesota.
Saturday, March 7th - 7.43PM GMT
3-0 for Minnesota. The S&D woes for Seattle continue once again!
Saturday, March 7th - 7.42PM GMT
Pandur almost makes the flank work but it's the RØKKR who are first to win two rounds.
Saturday, March 7th - 7.40PM GMT
The opening round goes in favour of Minnesot despite GodRx getting unlucky with the sniper.
Saturday, March 7th - 7.38PM GMT
St. Petrograd plays host to game two. Home of Seattle's only S&D win, is win number two on the cards?
Saturday, March 7th - 7.35PM GMT
I thought the Surge were about to make the comeback. Moving to S&D, can Seattle score their second win of the season or is the RØKKR going to run away with the series?
Saturday, March 7th - 7.34PM GMT - Seattle Surge 0-1 Minnesota RØKKR
Well that was close! Seattle almost rally back but it's Minnesota who hold strong to take Hackney Yard Hardpoint 250-235. 36 kills and over two minutes in the hill for Alex, a great performance from the Brit!
Saturday, March 7th - 7.31PM GMT
The Surge hold strong on P2 once again to take a slender lead but Minnesota come bouncing back with some impressive control of the Warehouse.
Saturday, March 7th - 7.29PM GMT
It is so very close between these two teams after the first rotation of hills! Who is going to walk away with the W?

Saturday, March 7th - 7.19PM GMT
It's hard to think that Seattle is the underdog heading into this match. With such talented players on the team, a win against Minnesota has the potential to turn their season around.
Saturday, March 7th - 7.17PM GMT
Hackney Yard Hardpoint is the first game of the series. Aggression is the key to success on one of the smallest maps in the CDL map pool.
Saturday, March 7th - 7.09PM GMT

GGWP! Atlanta dominate Gun Runner Domination to secure a comfortable 3-0 sweep over the Florida Mutineers. They drop to the lower bracket while Atlanta move to the bracket qualification game.
Saturday, March 7th - 6.55PM GMT
Unless Florida perform some sort of miracle, Atlanta look in a very comfortable to round out the map and the series. A ruthless slaying performance from the young stars.
Saturday, March 7th - 6.54PM GMT
That was fast! After five minutes, Atlanta lead 91-64 over Florida. Cellium is FRYING.

THE ASSASSINATION FROM CELLIUM! The young star appears to be feeling confident to say the least.

Atlanta maintain their undefeated record on Arlkov Peak S&D! They're looking to secure the sweep in game three.

Saturday, March 7th - 6.39PM GMT
Map point for Atlanta. Looking very good on S&D as always.
Saturday, March 7th - 6.35PM GMT
Two-straight for Atlanta. It's going to take something special for Florida to get back into the game.
Saturday, March 7th - 6.34PM GMT
2-1 to the FaZe. They were lucky that Maux didn't catch sight of more Atlanta players on the flank.
Saturday, March 7th - 6.32PM GMT
Atlanta answer straight back thanks to a sublime triple kill from Priestahh!
Saturday, March 7th - 6.30PM GMT
A team ace for the Mutineers to kick off game two! The gamble pays off for Florida.

Arklov Peak S&D up next! Can Florida bounce back or are Atlanta going to continue to showcase its supreme S&D gameplay?
Saturday, March 7th - 6.22PM GMT - Atlanta FaZe 1-0 Florida Mutineers
First blood for Atlanta! They secure St. Petrograd Hardpoint 250-220 to take the early lead. What a start to CDL LA!

Just like that. Florida are right back in contention with a strong hold on the first hill. Still anyone's game!

The FaZe begin to establish some sort of control in what has been a very close game after the first rotation of hills.

AND IT'S LIIIIIIIVE! CDL Los Angeles is a go! Check out the stream below:
Saturday, March 7th - 5.15PM GMT
Opening proceedings is a rematch of the Atlanta finals, as the FaZe take on the Mutineers. It's going to be difficult for Florida, who are playing with Maurice "Fero" Henriquez in place of Preston "Prestinni" Sanderson this weekend. Can they cause an almighty upset in the first game of the day? Or is it going to be business as usual for the best team in the league?

Saturday, March 7th - 4.16PM GMT
Los Angeles marks the first chance for a team to win two tournaments in a row. As the in-form team, Atlanta FaZe is in a prime position to become the first team in CDL history to go back-to-back. I think Minnesota and Dallas may have something to say about that!
Saturday, March 7th - 3.57PM GMT

First-Round Predictions
Atlanta FaZe v Florida Mutineers
The first match of the LA home series is a rematch of the Atlanta Grand Finals.
I can see the end result slightly differing from the Atlanta match, with the Mutineers managing to take one map but I think that the FaZe still end up taking the win. I’m going 3-1 to Atlanta.
Minnesota RØKKR v Seattle Surge
The LA home series will be the first time we get to see Casey “Pandur” Romano compete under the Seattle Surge banner while Minnesota are fresh of a very strong showing in Atlanta.
Despite the change in personnel for the Surge, I don’t think they come anywhere close to the RØKKR, a team that came very close to taking down Atlanta in the previous tournament. I’m going with a comfortable 3-0 win for Minnesota.
Dallas Empire v New York Subliners
With just 10 points on the board, LA is a prime opportunity for New York to begin their ascent towards the hectic mid-table battle.
There is plenty of talent on the Subliners and not attending Atlanta has given them extra time to practice and refine strategy ahead of a tough game against the Empire.
Dallas looked solid in London, making it all the way to the finals but falling short against Chicago once again. I think this particular game is closer than it looks, so I’m going to say the Empire takes it 3-2.
Los Angeles Guerrillas v OpTic Gaming Los Angeles
The fourth and final match is a battle for Los Angeles. With both teams rumoured to be making some form of change before the event, it is going to be tricky to see which of the two sides comes out on top.
If OGLA fail to beat the Guerrillas then something is going badly wrong for the Green Wall.
Going off recent form, the Guerrillas have a real opportunity to be the best LA team in the league and I think that they are going to do that with a victory over OpTic. I’m saying 3-1 to the Guerrillas.
Top 4 Predictions
1st: Atlanta FaZe2nd: Minnesota RØKKR3rd: Dallas Empire4th: Florida Mutineers
Atlanta are the team to beat despite Minnesota coming close to defeating them back in Atlanta.
It’ll take something very special for the seven other teams to take down the FaZe in LA, so they are my pick to take it all and be the first team to go back-to-back this season.
As for second, I’ve opted with Minnesota. After giving the FaZe a run for their money in Atlanta, the RØKKR impressed with Adam “GodRx” Brown proving to be one of the stars of the season so far.
The Dallas Empire finishing in third isn’t out of the question given their recent performances.
If the young prodigies in Anthony “Shotzzy” Cuevas-Castro and Indervir “iLLeY” Dhaliwal can find some form, then perhaps they give Minnesota and Atlanta a scare but I don’t see that happening for a while yet so I think they’ll place in the top four easily.
Florida’s appearance in the Atlanta final was certainly no fluke. With two very talented AR players on the team, the Mutineers are quickly rising to the top of the mid-table battle.
I think they continue their run of form and round out the top four. I think they do what have what it takes to defeat Dallas so they may even secure third place! It is very close to call between those two sides.
