Los Angeles Thieves finished the Call of Duty League 2024 Major 3 Qualifiers in fourth place and looked set to make a splash on LAN. But the Thieves failed to make it far in Toronto, suffering an early second-round exit against Miami Heretics.
Losing to Heretics isn’t that worrying, but the Thieves also had an iffy showing against Boston Breach in round one, suggesting they might not be as good as they seemed a few weeks back.
Los Angeles Guerrillas are not as much of an enigma. While you could rank them above Boston Breach, anything more is too optimistic. Still, the Guerrillas are much more efficient online and are 3-1 up in the head-to-head against the Thieves, who haven’t shown enough recently to earn the tag of -333.33 favourites.

Toronto Ultra are the clear third-best team in the league, behind Atlanta FaZe and OpTic Texas. They had some distinct issues over the first three stages of the season, namely with Search & Destroy, but even that doesn’t seem to be a problem anymore.
In CDL 2024 Major 3, Toronto Ultra managed to grind out some great wins on Search & Destroy and showed great consistency on respawns, earning them a silver medal and a ticket to the CDL Championship.
Las Vegas Legion exited CDL 2024 Major 3 in the first round, which marked their worst LAN result of the season, but that was expected after what they showed in the qualifying stage.
Legion took a map in two of their three meetings with Ultra this season, but they’re now in worse form, whereas Toronto Ultra are improving. A 3-0 sweep seems likely.
Toronto Ultra -2.5 maps

Miami Heretics placed fifth-sixth at CDL Major 3, which is a massive improvement on their consecutive 9th-12th finishes in the first two LAN events. That result didn’t come easy, but Miami Heretics earned it with solid performances against the Las Vegas Legion and Los Angeles Thieves.
Their only loss of CDL 2024 Major 3 came against OpTic Texas, who beat them 3-1 in the third round of the lower bracket. That doesn’t sound too inspiring ahead of this fixture, but we can’t ignore Miami Heretics’ recent improvement.
By winning CDL 2024 Major 3, OpTic Texas earned the tag as the strongest CoD team in the league. They’re still 20 points short of catching up to FaZe in the season standings, yet their improvement since the second stage is noticeable.
It’s very difficult to doubt OpTic Texas and their chances to defeat Miami Heretics. Still, there’s a very good chance they drop a map — as OpTic typically do online.
