Seattle Surge had a great week. They started with a 3-2 victory against the Call of Duty League Major 3 runners-up, Toronto Ultra and needed just three maps to make it past Minnesota R?KKR.
Seattle Surge have now won four of their last five games, with just one defeat against New York Subliners, who beat them 3-1 in Toronto. Over the last few weeks, Seattle Surge have only struggled against top-four teams in the league, showing remarkable consistency when faced with lesser opponents.
New York Subliners managed a 1-1 record last week with a map-five victory against Carolina Royal Ravens and a map-five loss to Atlanta FaZe. This doesn’t sound bad, but the Subliners didn’t perform well.
New York Subliners are still the fourth-best CoD team in the league, but their recent performances prove they’re not that much better than Seattle Surge. Expect a competitive game.

Minnesota R?KKR are due to a roster change. They barely edged past Boston Breach last week and got smoked by Seattle Surge on the final day. R?KKR are terrible on respawns, and their Search & Destroy isn’t much better – so there isn’t much about this squad to feel excited about.
Miami Heretics played with a substitute last week and lost to OpTic Texas in three maps. This doesn’t prove much, and this week should be a better indication of where Heretics stand ahead of the season’s final Major.
Still, while it’s tough to say how good Heretics are ahead of the second week of the qualifiers, they’re in a much better position than Minnesota R?KKR. Or perhaps it would be fairer to say that the R?KKR have not shown the same level of play as Miami Heretics over the last few weeks.

Carolina Royal Ravens suffered a huge loss in the first match of CDL 2024 Major Qualifiers Week 1 when they had to admit defeat to Los Angeles Guerrillas. A day later, they showed a bit more and forced the New York Subliners to five maps, but again came out short.
The Royal Ravens have also lost three of the last four game-five series, and they typically do poorly on map four, having won just two of the previous four. They’re in a rough spot and even had Carolina Royal Ravens not had as many issues, it would be difficult to justify betting on them against Atlanta FaZe.
The current league leaders played just one series last week against New York Subliners and won — and while it wasn’t a very strong showing from FaZe, they shouldn’t struggle against a lesser opponent.
