Las Vegas Legion had a rough opening week, with two defeats against Los Angeles Thieves (1-3) and Florida Mutineers (2-3). They arguably should have won against the Mutineers but threw it away on Search & Destroy. So while the Legion are 0-2, they didn’t play poorly and are not to be overlooked heading into the final week.
Atlanta FaZe are 1-1, which isn’t perfect, but they give an impression of a solid team that will only get better. FaZe showed a glimpse of that in their closely-fought victory (3-2) against the Los Angeles Thieves, and if they can keep at it, FaZe just might end the qualifiers 3-1.
Legion, while a team with potential, have yet to show enough for us to see them as a serious threat for FaZe. But they’re good enough to take Hardpoint, and it wouldn’t be too shocking to see Las Vegas Legion steal S&D. A bet on FaZe to win 3-1 at the offered CoD esports betting odds is a solid choice.

London Royal Ravens got off to a good start to the 2023 CDL season, with wins against New York Subliners (0-3) and Los Angeles Guerrillas (3-2). However, they had a fairly easy schedule, so while London Royal Ravens are 2-0 heading into this week, we need to see a bit more before we can start believing that they’re serious title contenders.
OpTic Texas could easily be 2-0 if not for the drama in the Minnesota R?KKR series, but they did bounce back strong with a 3-0 sweep of Florida Mutineers. This team is very good in Hardpoint, and they did not look bad in Search & Destroy either.
Whether OpTic is as good as the community believes is debatable, but they’ve yet to show anything that would make us doubt them. If they deserve to be priced as short favourites against London Royal Ravens is another question.
OpTic Texas have looked better so far this season, but it’s hard to make any conclusions after two rounds, and it’s not like they’re individually much stronger than the Ravens. The right play in our book is a bet on the outsiders to force a tight series.

NEW YORK SUBLINERS vs BOSTON BREACH CoD BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |

Boston Breach put together a 2-0 run in the opening week, with wins against Atlanta FaZe (3-1) and Seattle Surge (3-1), which has people talking about them being one of the best teams in the league. Unfortunately, that isn’t entirely true, or at least it’s way too soon to get overly excited about the Breach.
They looked very disciplined last week, and their strong Search & Destroy will lead them far, but it’s too early to start talking about a potential title run. New York Subliners are in the same boat as a team that has to show a lot more.
The Subliners are easily the most disappointing team from last week, with defeats against London Royal Ravens (0-3) and Toronto Ultra (1-3). Their only map victory came on Search & Destroy, and even that was poorly executed.
We’re very low on New York Subliners, who look ripe for another 0-3 loss.

Florida Mutineers secured a bit (3-2) win over Las Vegas Legion on Saturday but then looked outclassed against OpTic Texas (0-3) on Sunday. Still, it wasn’t a bad run for Florida Mutineers’ standards.
They have not looked too good on Hardpoint (0-3) but have a 66.67% win rate on Search & Destroy (2-1) and are 1-1 on Control. Overall solid showings, but we wouldn’t expect too much from the Mutineers on Saturday.
Los Angeles Thieves are 1-1 with a win against the Legion (3-1) and a defeat against Atlanta FaZe (2-3). Their weakest mode has been S&D (1-2), but we’re talking about very small sample size, so those figures don’t mean too much. Overall, we liked what we saw from the LA Thieves last round.
Florida Mutineers have the tools to be competitive later in the season, but so far, they’ve yet to see the level for us to believe they can compete with the top dogs. A 3-0 sweep for LA Thieves sounds like a reasonable expectation.
