CDL Championship 2024 betting predictions – Thursday, July 18

ESB’s free Call of Duty betting predictions for Thursday, July 18, focus on the first two CoD League (CDL) Championship 2024 fixtures. Check out our top picks for New York Subliners vs Seattle Surge and Atlanta FaZe vs Miami Heretics.

New York Subliners woke up from a long slumber at the end of June when they won Call of Duty League 2024 Major 4. But even before that, the Subliners posted strong LAN performances, with a bronze medal from Major 2 and a fourth-place finish in Major 3.

Seattle Surge had their time under the spotlight with two top-six finishes in CDL Major 3 and CDL Major 4, as well as a third-place finish in the fourth online stage. Their only notable victory over that stretch was a fluke 3-2 win against Toronto Ultra, however, and their game-to-game performances don’t inspire much confidence.

New York Subliners are the better team in all three game modes, and with their newfound momentum, it is hard to believe Cesar “Skyz” Bueno and co. will slip against one of the more mediocre CoD teams of the 2024 season.

Atlanta FaZe are outright favourites with esports betting sites to win the CDL Championship. This team has no discernible weakness, and although FaZe have slipped in the latter stages of Majors a couple of times this season, that is irrelevant until the weekend.

Miami Heretics barely made the CDL Championship with a 17-22 record and no podium finishes across the four Majors. They have had some moments, but we’ve rarely seen them do well against an elite opponent.

Heretics went 1-3 in their last meeting with Atlanta FaZe in June, but it is unlikely they will emulate that on LAN.
