Toronto Ultra have managed four wins from six games played this stage, which includes a 3-1 victory against Vegas Falcons and a dominant 3-0 sweep of OpTic Texas last week.
While Ultra got some of their best maps against OpTic, they are a team with a very deep map pool, which their opponents will have to respect. They are especially hard to beat on Skyline – Hardpoint (100%) and Vault – Control (83.3%).
Vancouver Surge ended Week 3 of CDL 2025 Stage 2 Major Qualifiers with a 0-3 loss to Los Angeles Thieves and a 3-1 victory against Miami Heretics. It was a bit of a down weekend for the Surge, who did not look as good as they had earlier in the stage.
While one rough weekend does not prove much in the bigger picture, Vancouver will face a very solid team who are on the upswing. At outsider odds, Toronto Ultra are a solid bet.

OpTic Texas are 0-5 in CDL 2025 Stage 2 Major Qualifiers, losing against Atlanta FaZe, Minnesota R?KKR, Carolina Royal Ravens, Miami Heretics, and Toronto Ultra. Over that stretch, OpTic have not managed to win a single map.
This roster should be playing better than they are, but something is not clicking, suggesting more changes are around the corner. And considering how much Optic have been struggling, it is very hard to find a good reason to feel confident about their chances in this match.
Los Angeles Thieves are in excellent form and enter the final week of CDL 2025 Stage 2 Major Qualifiers as the only undefeated team, with a 15-1 map record. They are in cruise control, and while the Thieves tend to try out different things in the final week before the Major, there is a good chance they sweep the struggling OpTic.

Miami Heretics are a bit of an enigma. They crushed OpTic Texas 3-0 last week, then played a competitive game against Vancouver Surge but choked on the final two maps to lose 1-3.
The Heretics have proved they can beat anyone on a good day. But they are one of the most inconsistent Call of Duty teams in the league, due largely to their poor Search & Destroy record and lacklustre Control map pool.
Carolina Royal Ravens played just one game last round, beating Cloud9 New York 3-1. It was one of their best games for the stage, and they looked excellent on Hardpoint, yet it remains to be seen whether the Royal Ravens will manage to keep playing at this level.
This is Carolina Royal Ravens’ game to lose, but you have to show some respect to Miami Heretics, who are resilient and a much better Hardpoint team. A close game is likely.
