New York Subliners have yet to find their footing this season, which was unexpected with the talent on this roster. With a 1-5 record and 6-17 map difference, the Subliners have a lot of catching up to do, but based on what we saw from them so far, things likely won’t get better anytime soon.
In contrast, London Royal Ravens went from a team no one believed could achieve much to reaching the semi-finals in the first major of the CDL season. And that alone is a solid testament to the Royal Ravens’ quality as a team.
Like the CDL betting odds suggest, London Royal Ravens should easily defeat New York Subliners, but we can imagine the Subliners winning at least one map. Admittedly, their performances on respawns are a bit iffy, but they are good on S&D, while the Royal Ravens are not. A 3-1 victory for London Royal Ravens seems like the most likely outcome.
London Royal Ravens 3-1

Boston Breach and Seattle Surge are stylistically two very similar teams, and they share the same trait as squads that can be very tough to dominate. Breach have lost 0-3 only once this season, and even that was against Atlanta FaZe, while Surge’s only clean-sweep defeat happened in the final week of CDL Major 1 Qualifiers against Florida Mutineers.
The latest Call of Duty betting odds suggest Seattle Surge should win, which sounds fair considering they field a more talented roster. However, Surge are very unpredictable. They lost against Paris Legion in the first round of CDL Major 1, but they also defeated Toronto Ultra and took a map off London Royal Ravens during the qualifiers.
If Seattle Surge can show their best side, they should come out ahead, but we would expect a very close series even then. There’s a good chance this match goes to five maps, but if we had to pick a side, Boston Breach, at even money or better, are the way to go.
