Finally an exciting week of action! SlasheR claims the format should be changed, could we see the end of the CDL regular season games? Will Activision be concerned over the OpTic playing Valorant? What do LAT do now after a disappointing loss to Paris, could we see yet another change? New York are in shambles, can they turn the end of their season around? OpTic vs FaZe was one of the series of the season so far, with OpTic clutching up. Could this provide the confidence they need to make a deep run on LAN?

CDL MAJOR 2 starts tomorrow! The boys have a long discussion on their thought process of the matchups and who will have the dark horse run? Clay & Crim have stirred the pot on the NYSL rostermania moves, is this the end of the highest winning rate CoD duo? Week 3 matches are analysed with LAT going 0-5, wil Mr Shot blow it up?

The 4th Major is officially here with the return to LAN! Will it make a difference? FaZe are still favorites to win after the Dub against Rokkr.

Meanwhile, NYSL seem forced to replace Asim following visa issues; Who should they grab?

The boys are back to discuss this weekend's CDL matches, with Pred's removal from OpTic Texas and the associated questions being the key discussion of the week. Huke has replaced Pred in the starting lineup, while FaZe struggle to a 1-3 start in the CDL for Major 1.

FaZe are victorious again! Subliners come 2nd, led by Clayster and phenomenal plays from Hydra. Ultra-come 3rd, where they demolish LAT before taking down a much-improved OpTic in Game 5, Round 11. OpTic came to play this weekend, going on a 10-map win-streak, posting a 1.10 or greater KD. Empire fails to win a map on the weekend, as many teams consider changes, with Rokkr already cutting Accuracy for MajorManiak. We break down our current power rankings and the Formal vs Kenny beef!

Rostermania is reaching the business end, with many rumors flying around. LAG has confirmed a major upgrade with SlasheR, Huke, Gunless & Asim, while their counterparts LAT look to acquire Envoy alongside Octane, Kenny & Drazah. Will NYSL’s Clayster, C6, Hydra & Neptune squad work despite the risk, how does the SMG duo match up to Scump & Shotzzy of the alleged OpTic Dallas? London & Seattle seek younger lineups, while Ultra & Rokkr look to stick after all. How will Vanguard fare for competitive?
