Minnesota RØKKR picked up a significant win (3-2) against Texas OpTic on Monday, but they are still a bit shaky, and there is not a single map they’ve looked good on. Their next opponents, London Royal Ravens, are 2-0 after the first week of play with wins against Florida Mutineers (3-0) and OpTic (3-2), which is impressive for a team of this calibre.
Much of the London Royal Ravens’ success is due to their strong performances on respawns, and if they polish their S&D, we would have no problem ranking them as one of the top-four teams in the league. RØKKR, on the other side, might be one of the weakest squads in the current meta.
From what we’ve seen so far, the Royal Ravens are a much more efficient and well-rounded team and are rightly the favourites. Admittedly, the RØKKR have the potential to be good, but until they show a bit more, the potential is all they have.
There is a world where London Royal Ravens finish with a clean sweep, but we’ll play it safe and predict them to win with at least two maps to spare.

Paris Legion showed a phenomenal performance against Atlanta FaZe, who they forced to a five-map series (2-3) last week. But just a day after, Paris Legion got stomped by Florida Mutineers (1-3), which leaves a bit sceptical about the Legion, even though they’ve looked very competitive in respawns.
OpTic Texas were expected to be one of the most dominant teams of the CDL. Yet, they enter the second week of play with a 0-2 record, with defeats against London Royal Ravens (2-3) and Minnesota RØKKR (2-3), which is highly concerning.
This is a must-win match for OpTic, who can’t afford to lose against teams like Paris Legion if they’re serious about competing for the CDL title. And while they should win, OpTic have yet to show anything that would make us feel confident backing them at the offered CDL betting odds.
From what we’ve seen, there’s a good chance the Legion steal S&D and a Control map, so we’re siding with the outsiders to collect at least two maps on Saturday.
