CDL 2021 Major 5 - Day 4 Preview

The final Major of the 2021 Call of Duty League season concludes tonight, here’s the odds and our preview of the matches.

Dallas Empire (1.61) vs OpTic Chicago (2.18)

In the words of Crimsix, Dallas Empire were “playing scared” in their against LA Thieves. While they secured a 3-1 win, it came close in every map and Empire struggled to close out maps at times. Going up against OpTic, Dallas can't afford to be scared.

OpTic Chicago secured a 3-2 win over a momentum filled Seattle Surge to advance at Major 5. They were extremely dominant in the Control, and the energy of the fans without a doubt helped them in this series. Dashy was dominant in the AR battle, and he’ll need to continue that today. However, as their Hardpoints took a hit in this series, they need to be on top of their Search and Destroy game against Dallas.

The winner of this matchup will take on Toronto Ultra, before facing Minnesota ROKKR in the Grand Finals. We think that the fans will play a major part in these matches, and if OpTic wins their first match, we think they’ll go on to win it all.
