New Article: Minnesota RØKKR Dominates Eliminations, Secures Spot in Winners Bracket

Minnesota RØKKR has emerged as a dominating force in the Call of Duty League (CDL) Season 2024 Major I Eliminations, securing a spot in the winners bracket. While some teams struggled during the last week of eliminations, RØKKR rose to the occasion and showcased their prowess on the battlefield.

Entering the weekend with a 1-4 record and sitting on the 9th place, just below the cutoff for the winners bracket, RØKKR knew they had to win their last two matches to surpass Boston Breach and Los Angeles Guerrillas. Their first match was against Guerrillas on Friday, where they mercilessly swept them 3-0, with an intense battle in the Search and Destroy map that RØKKR won in the 11th round.

With their win against Guerrillas, RØKKR tied in the standings with Breach and Guerrillas. Their fate now relied on defeating Seattle Surge. On Saturday, RØKKR faced Surge and claimed victory in a hard-fought match. They won the Control map in the 5th round, finishing the series 6-3 in the SnD map. With these wins, RØKKR secured their place in the winners bracket, currently sitting at 6th place in the standings.

Another team that needed a turnaround in the final week of eliminations was Miami Heretics. After a strong start in the first two weeks, they suffered two losses in the third week. However, they made a stunning comeback. On Friday, they faced off against OpTic Texas, a formidable opponent known for their impressive performances. Despite the challenge, Heretics crushed OpTic with a convincing 3-0 win.

Continuing their winning streak, Heretics then clashed with Los Angeles Guerrillas. The match was intense and came down to the wire, with Heretics emerging victorious in the 11th round. They once again swept their opponents 3-0. It is impressive that Heretics managed to regain their form just before Major I, particularly considering that this is their inaugural season.

OpTic Texas faced difficulties in the last week of eliminations. Despite a promising start with a 4-1 record, things took a turn for the worse. Their loss against Heretics was just the beginning of their troubles. In their final match of the weekend, they confronted Atlanta FaZe, a highly competitive team. Once again, OpTic fell short. The match was closely fought, but FaZe proved to be better than a lackluster OpTic.

One hotly debated topic is the influence of online latency on the match results. OpTic experienced higher latency in these series of matches, which may have given their opponents a slight advantage. However, ultimately, a loss is a loss. With Major I being held on LAN, fans will finally get a definitive answer as to whether latency had any impact on OpTic’s underwhelming performances.

Despite these losses, OpTic’s position in the standings remains relatively unaffected, currently placed 5th with a guaranteed spot in the winners bracket.

In a surprising turn of events, Toronto Ultra put an end to New York Subliners’ five-win streak, dominating the series with a flawless 3-0 victory. This result propelled Ultra to the second place in the standings, while Subliners concluded eliminations with a win against Breach. Unfortunately for Breach, the loss meant landing in the losers bracket for Major I. As the hosts of Major I, they have a lot of work ahead if they want to leave a mark on their home ground.

With eliminations concluded, fans can eagerly anticipate the first live events of the season. Major I, organized by Boston Breach, commences on Thursday, January 25th, and concludes on Sunday, January 28th.
