Call of Duty League Favorites
Atlanta FaZe and Dallas Empire are two of the strongest teams in the Call of Duty League 2021. True to their rankings, the two teams won their respective groups in Stage 1. Dallas Empire 1 went 4-1 while Atlanta FaZe won all of its games and sits pretty with a 5-0 score.
However, despite their strong performances, the teams face stiff competition from the likes of OpTiC Chicago, Los Angeles Thieves and New York Subliners. Stage 2 is a hard reset for all teams and an opportunity for many to catch up.
Call of Duty League’s format requires teams to take each match seriously. The top eight teams at the end of the season will earn a spot in the playoffs of the $500 tournament. For now, Atlanta FaZe leads the pack with 50 CDL points but others are close behind. CDL Stage 2 begins next week on March 18.
