The third weekend of the Call of Duty League is here with Atlanta playing host. After two successful weekends in Minnesota and London, the stage is set for another exciting tournament-style weekend with some of the best teams in the league ready to take the stage. Will it be Atlanta that takes it? Or will Chicago continue their hot streak? Here are some of the teams to be on the lookout for.
OpTic Gaming Los Angeles
OpTic Gaming LA found their way to the bottom of our power rankings after an abysmal showing during the opening weekend in Minnesota. They have a lot working against them in the inaugural season of the new Call of Duty League including a fan base that touts them as the "New OpTic" or "Fake OpTic" while still considering Chicago the "Real OpTic." With group play including Atlanta and London, LA has a tough task ahead of them. It's time to see what sort of fight they have in them.
Minnesota RØKKR
Minnesota had a great opening weekend as the host city. They won both of their matches including the "Battle Of The North" against the Toronto Ultra. The RØKKR have some of the best team chemistry in the league and will need that as they do battle against the best in Atlanta. Minnesota has all the makings to keep themselves in the top-five of the league all season and their first tournament weekend will be a big indicator of where exactly they truly stack up.
Paris Legion
The Paris Legion have continued to surprise throughout their first two weekends. Many claimed the Legion were one of the worst (if not the worst) teams heading into the season, but they have proven everyone wrong with a 4-2 record and a narrow defeat by the Huntsmen in the semi-finals in London. The Legion are one of the better teams in the league and look to keep the momentum in Atlanta with some stiff competition.
Chicago Huntsmen
The Chicago Huntsmen sit atop the leader board after two weekends and boast a 6-0 record. They swept everyone in London to take home the victory and will face their toughest task yet as all roads lead to the Atlanta FaZe. With a roster of legends and exciting young guns, I expect the Huntsmen to continue their domination, but it will be interesting to see how they fair against Atlanta when the time comes. It's going to be exciting for sure.
Atlanta FaZe
Even though they have only played twice so far, it's safe to say the Atlanta FaZe look like the best team in the entire league. They have some of the best young talent the teams have to offer and dominated their opponents in Minnesota. The FaZe have the crowd on their side this weekend and will look to cement themselves as truly the best team in the league when it is all said and done. Can we just write their ticket to the finals right now?
