Five takeaways from Call of Duty League Season 3 Major

1) Atlanta FaZe is in top for overall standings

Even though Seattle Surge took the trophy for Call of Duty League Season 3 Major, Atlanta FaZe still stands on top of the scoreboard for CDL overall standings. Season 4 is about to start in July and it is yet to be decided who will take the trophy there.

Only the top eight teams will qualify as CoD champs after Season 4.

2) Consistency of Florida Mutineers

In the last three years, Florida Mutineers have been one of the hardest teams to beat in CDL. They are, however, in a slightly better spot than before. Having beaten Boston Breach and LA thieves, they have earned their spot within the winners bracket.

Things look pretty good for Florida Mutineers as they might just perform well enough to take the win in Season 4.

3) Sad loss for Atlanta FaZe

Atlanta FaZe failed to win a single map on the last day of Call of Duty League Major Season 3. They fought for their spot with OpTic for a long time.

This also marks the only time where the Atlanta FaZe has failed to win a map in the Major. However, they are on top of the overall standings for CDL 2022. As of now, this might be a great time to pull back and regroup before stepping into Season 4.

4) Accusations raised against LA Thieves

A very sudden accusation has arisen against LA Thieves, which states they were throwing the match against Florida Mutineers. The accusation states that LA Thieves lost on purpose in their match against the Florida Mutineers.

LA Thieves head coach Jordan Kaplan responded to the accusations stating:

"Three dead, he should push out. The rest of the team messed up not getting towards the time. But again, nice try."
