OpTic Texas 1-1 last week with a close map-five loss against Boston Breach and a convincing 3-0 sweep of Carolina Royal Ravens. Despite winning just one game, OpTic’s newest arrival, Mason “Mercules” Ramsay, proved to be an excellent addition, posting a 1.33 and 1.51 K/D in the two fixtures, respectively.
Los Angeles Guerrillas M8 added two more losses to their record last week, when they fell against Minnesota RØKKR and Atlanta FaZe. On a more positive note, the Guerrillas played well on Search & Destroy, winning one against RØKKR and forcing the league’s best S&D team to 11 rounds.
LA Guerrillas M8 can be very competitive on Search & Destroy, but they lack on respawns. So while the outsiders are likely to win a map, it is unlikely for them to upset OpTic.

Carolina Royal Ravens and Minnesota RØKKR have managed just one win from their first three games of Stage 4. Royal Ravens bested Boston Breach, while Kenneth “Kenny” Williams and co. edged past LA Guerrillas M8.
Both squads are lacking in key areas. Royal Ravens are decent on Search & Destroy, but they’re only average on Hardpoint and very bad on Control, outside of their best map – Hacienda.
Minnesota RØKKR can hold their own on all Control maps except for Hacienda, while they are serviceable on Dealership and Rewind in Search & Destroy, but they’re not good on Hardpoint either.
This looks like a scrappy affair between two teams who have yet to find their footing.

Best Odds: Breach +700 at SportsBetting | Thieves -625 at BetOnline

Following a very promising run through CDL 2025 Stage 3, Boson Breach have slowed down and are 1-2 from their last three. Los Angeles Thieves are in the same spot, having beaten just Vegas Falcons, but were far less efficient in Week 1, when they lost to Miami Heretics and Atlanta FaZe.
Despite producing the same record, LA Thieves are priced as heavy favourites on the top CoD betting sites. This, considering their past achievements and record in online stages, would make sense, but not at this number.
Even though LA Thieves hold better win rates on all game modes, they are not as efficient on Hacienda and Vault in Hardpoint or on Hacienda in Search & Destroy, so there will be opportunities for Boston to put a dent in the CDL 2025 Major 3 champions.
