?London Royal Ravens enter this match off a painful 1-3 loss against New York Subliners, who won the series thanks to a remarkable 1-5 comeback on Express – S&D. Regardless, the Royal Ravens put up a solid fight, so we wouldn’t criticise them too much, especially after their wins against Los Angeles Thieves (3-1) and Los Angeles Guerrillas (3-0).

Toronto Ultra’s only won of this stage came against the Guerrillas on Saturday (3-2), having previously lost to Atlanta FaZe (0-3) and LA Thieves (2-3). Unlike the Royal Ravens, Toronto have not impressed us this season; they have only really looked good during the Stage 1 Major, when they won against London (3-2) and Minnesota R?KKR (3-2).

The Royal Ravens have been somewhat inconsistent this season, but they have had much higher highs than the Ultra. Toronto might have won their previous head-to-head bout with London, but we don’t believe they can recreate that on Friday.

Atlanta FaZe enter the final week of CDL Stage 2 with a phenomenal 12-0 record and 38-9 map differential, meaning they’ve won 81% of all maps played. Alec “Arcitys” Sanderson and co. have yet to meet a team that could threaten their status as the CDL’s top dogs.

Even though we expect FaZe to fall sooner or later, we can confidently say that LA Guerrillas won’t be derailing the Stage 1 Major champions this weekend. The Guerrillas’ only notable performance so far happened on Saturday when they forced the Ultra to five maps, and even that is not something to be too proud of.

Clean sweeps are not all that common in the CDL, but it’s hard to imagine anything other than a 3-0 win for FaZe this Friday.

?Dallas Empire enter the LA Guerrillas Home Series off a 2-3 loss against Minnesota R?KKR, having previously beaten Paris Legion (3-1) and Seattle Surge (3-2). The latest CoD betting odds price the Empire as favourites, which seems fair even though they will face a team that is known for causing problems to the top dogs.

While backing the outsiders might seem like an appealing option given how many upsets there have been this CDL season, we don’t believe this is a spot where you would take the Mutineers over Dallas. Florida might have beaten OpTic Chicago, but we wouldn’t overreact to that result.

The Empire’s only loss so far in this stage came against the surging Minnesota, and even that was a close 2-3 series, so they’re still one of the top-performing teams in Group B. Expect a 3-1 win for Dallas.

The almighty Green Wall did not look all that mighty last week when they failed to win a single map in their losses to Minnesota R?KKR and Florida Mutineers. In OpTic Chicago’s defence, the R?KKR looked extremely good and went on to beat Dallas Empire 3-2 a few days later, whereas the Mutineers are known to do well against the top teams.

Seattle Surge enter this match off a crisp 3-0 sweep of Paris Legion on Sunday, marking their second win of the stage after a 3-1 victory over Florida on day one. We noted in our previous CDL betting preview that Seattle should improve sooner rather than later, and it seems like that’s exactly what has happened. The whole Surge squad stepped up over the weekend, but especially Peirce “Gunless” Hillman.

It’s hard to say how this match will go, and it all comes down to how much you value the recent results of these sides. Are OpTic really as bad as their last two series suggest? And does the 3-0 sweep of the Legion mean Seattle are no longer one of the weakest team in the league? Either way, the Surge have shown enough for us to believe they can take the series.
