Predictions for the CDL Stage 5 2021 Event!
Following the Stage 4 Playoffs, the standings have definitely been updated. Let’s start from the top.
Naturally, the favourites for the events are none other than Atlanta FaZe – leading the rankings with 465 after winning their third event in the road. Meanwhile, beneath them sit both Dallas Empire and Toronto Ultra. Specifically, Dallas Empire turned heads this past weekend after reaching the Grand Final and pushing FaZe to a Map 9.
Otherwise, New York Subliners are also a question mark. Following the use of a substitute, nobody is sure where the roster sits despite being a favourite for Stage 4.
Meanwhile, further down the likes of OpTic Chicago and Minnesota ROKKR prowl about in 4-5th. Speaking of wonder, Los Angeles Thieves is also looking to climb up the rankings following a roster change, though will it be enough?
At the bottom, the likes of Los Angeles Guerrillas remain 70 points beneath the 8th seed of Florida Mutineers. Bearing this in mind, the bottom four teams will need to work extra hard to try and break the top 8. Namely, Paris Legion, London Royal Ravens and Seattle Surge are looking for a deep run heading into the next Major.
