They were ejected from the lower bracket without any contest. LAG and Seattle Surge effectively left the competition without a single map won, too. First, the Florida Mutineers (who may never be seen again in the CDL) wiped out Texas, followed by a devastating match-up against the LA Thieves that ejected OpTic Texas from the tournament. For example, OpTic Texas, considered the favourite to win Major V, crashed out of the tournament without winning a single map. It was a phenomenal story all around for the Subliners, but elsewhere, things weren’t so positive. It was a flashback to December 2022, when the Subliners did the same thing against: In a string of successes, NYSL laid waste to (and eliminated from the tournament): Well, by ‘no commendations’ – we should clear up that HyDra was the MVP of the Major.įollowing an instant dismissal into the lower bracket by Toronto Ultra, the Subliners locked in and said, ‘Not today, buddy’. While HyDra and KiSMET destroyed the board, there are no special commendations to be earned – this was a masterclass in full-team representation, and every player in the squad pull their weight during Major V. It was a display worthy of the history books, with HyDra, KiSMET, Skyz, and Priestahhh all putting in immense work to pull off back-to-back wins. In a mind-blowing sweep, the New York Subliners cemented their legendary status this season by locking in their second Major win of the year, having won Major I way back in December 2022. That’s what happened during Major V, the tournament that nobody could have really predicted. It says something when the London Royal Ravens, the worst team in the Call of Duty League, finish higher than OpTic Texas, Boston Breach, and Seattle Surge. What a phenomenal weekend for Call of Duty esports. It was the best performance out of Rokkr all season, considering a while ago the team was recovering from an eight-match losing streak.
When it came down to it, the final stages were owned by Toronto Ultra, the New York Subliners, Atlanta FaZe, and bizarrely, Minnesota Rokkr. OpTic Texas, the only team in CDL history to have two perfect qualifying stages back-to-back fell in ninth place, with reigning champions, the LA Thieves, ending up in fifth place. It absolutely was not the way that everyone thought this Major would play out, but the script truly was flipped on its head this time around. In a sweep of the lower bracket, the New York Subliners defeated all comers to be branded the Major V champions, making NYSL the first team to win more than one Major in a single year since Atlanta FaZe during the Cold War season.
It happened in December during Major I and it happened again this weekend.
