The Call of Duty League held its first tournament-style over the weekend hosted by the London Royal Ravens. The crowd was hyped up and stellar matches highlighted the weekend. Amidst all the great Call of Duty play, one team stood above the rest - the Chicago Huntsmen. The Huntsmen proved once again why they are one of the top teams in the league, essentially dominating everyone in their path to securing a finals victory in London.
The Chicago Huntsmen have gotten off to an electric start throughout their first two events of the inaugural season of the Call of Duty League. They leapt to the top of the standings going 2-0 in Minnesota and retained their top position after a 4-0 sweep in London. Chicago is definitely a force to be reckoned with as the season continues to progress and possess a plethora of talent few teams can match.
Chicago faced the Los Angeles Guerrillas in a quick 3-0 victory before facing a Dallas Empire team that stumbled in Minnesota but bounced back against Seattle in their first match in London. Despite their breakthrough, it wasn't enough as the Empire fell to the Huntsmen with a score of 3-1.
Once out of group play, the Huntsmen faced tough competition in the Paris Legion but walked away from a nail-biter that ended in a close 3-2 scoreline. The final was a rematch with the Dallas Empire in a 3-0 victory. The scoreline doesn't show the true outcome of the match, though as each map was played incredibly close, coming down to last-second moments the Huntsmen executed to secure victory.
Dallas bounced back, Paris continued to show they should be taken seriously and London thrived in front of their home crowd. Still, the Chicago Huntsmen proved they were the best team throughout the weekend and with a 4-0 record, they climb to 6-0 on the season. They are made up of some of the most experienced players in the league alongside younger stars playing lights out.
