OpTic Texas 11/10 to win Major 2
Major 2 of the 2022 Call of Duty League takes place in Minnesota, with OpTic Texas looking to continue their domination with a win here.
OpTic are currently on a 12 game winning streak after a great performance in Major 2 qualifying and more of the same is expected in this Major.
Bookmakers have made OpTic 11/10 to make it back to back Major wins at the start of the year after winning their home Major last time out.
| CDL Major 2 Winners | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| OpTic Texas | 11/10 | 47.6% |
| Atlanta FaZe | 7/4 | 36.4% |
| London Royal Ravens | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| Boston Breach | 10/1 | 9.1% |
| Florida Mutineers | 14/1 | 6.7% |
| Toronto Ultra | 16/1 | 5.9% |
Atlanta FaZe are easily the second best team in the league and it looks like for the foreseeable it'll be between them and OpTic for the next few majors.
FaZe player Cellium has been one of the best player's in the CDL this year and is 2/1 to be MVP at this weekend's event.
OpTic beat FaZe 5-2 in the final of Major 1 so it's fair to assume that these two will compete for this weekend's Major too.
Dashy favourite to be MVP in Major 2
OpTic Texas' Dashy has been the best player in the Call of Duty league so far and will want to continue that this weekend.
As mentioned before, Cellium has been FaZe's best player so far this season and he is 2/1 to have a big weekend and get the MVP award.
Dashy though is 7/4 favourite to be MVP at Major 2, following on from a successful Major 1 where he was crowned MVP.
| Major 2 MVP | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Dashy | 7/4 | 36.4% |
| Cellium | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Shotzzy | 3/1 | 25% |
| aBeZy | 4/1 | 20% |
| Simp | 11/2 | 15.4% |
Shotzzy also plays for favourites OpTic Texas and at odds of 3/1, he could well outperform Dashy and be awarded MVP at Major 2.
The other contenders in the Top 5 of the odds in aBeZy and Simp both play for Atlanta FaZe, so bookies are expecting a big weekend for them on the way.
OpTic Texas are 6/4 to win the overall Championship
Championship weekend is the ultimate for all of the CDL teams, with Champs the big event when it comes to the competitive eSport.
Champs doesn't have an exact date yet, but with Major 4 taking place at the end of July we can expect it some point in August to wrap up another big year of Call of Duty.
With OpTic Texas starting the year so impressively, it's no surprise to see that they are favourites with bookmakers to win Champs this year.
| CDL Champs Winners | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| OpTic Texas | 6/4 | 40% |
| Atlanta FaZe | 7/4 | 36.4% |
| Toronto Ultra | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| London Royal Ravens | 11/2 | 15.4% |
| LA Thieves | 7/1 | 12.5% |
| Minnesota RØKKR | 16/1 | 5.9% |
FaZe follow just behind OpTic in the odds, with Toronto Ultra coming in at third place in the bookmakers thoughts to win Champs this year.
Ultra were ultra competitive in the CDL last year, being somewhat of a surprise package throughout the year.
More of the same was expected of them this year, but unfortunately they've struggled to get any form of consistency in Vanguard.
