?London Royal Ravens are the most improved team in the league, having won all three CDL Major 4 Qualifiers matches against Toronto Ultra (3-1), Minnesota R?KKR (3-1), and Florida Mutineers (3-1). But for them to be considered an elite team, the London squad must also take down Atlanta FaZe.
That might be easier said than done, knowing how deadly Atlanta FaZe become as we get closer to the Call of Duty League Championship. However, FaZe have not looked as good across the last two weeks, and they don’t need to win the qualifiers since they’re already guaranteed a spot in the season finale with 280 points.
Atlanta FaZe are still a more talented roster, but at +150, you can’t pass on London Royal Ravens. They found traction just in time, and even though they’ve yet to defeat FaZe this season, this might be their best chance to do so.

?Paris Legion were expected to be the bottom team of CDL Major 4 Qualifiers, and that’s where they sit now. Not only have Legion failed to win a single series, but their map count is 1-9, which is enough to illustrate how bad they’re relative to the rest of the league.
Their only map victory of the qualifiers came against OpTic Texas on Saturday, but even though Paris Legion won a map against one of the league’s top teams, it’s not like OpTic are doing much better (1-3).
This is not a bet on Florida Mutineers to win, but rather a bet on Paris Legion to lose. They’re not playing well, and according to what we can see on social media, the morale in the team is at an all-time low.
