Los Angeles Guerrillas M80 crashed out of CDL 2025 Stage 1 Minor<\/a> in the first round with a 2-3 loss against Minnesota R\u00d8KKR. It was another rough defeat for LAGM, who are not doing too well this season, and a lot of it comes down to Preston “Priestahh” Greiner’s underwhelming performances.<\/p>\n

Cloud9 New York went 1-3 across the first two weeks of Major Qualifiers but looked much better earlier this month by reaching the quarterfinals at Minor 1, with wins against Vancouver Surge and a rough game-five loss against the finalists, Carolina Royal Ravens.<\/p>\n

Despite showing improvement, Cloud9 are not getting much respect and are still given just north of 57% implied probability to win this game on the best CoD esports betting sites<\/a>. That is too big of a number to pass on.<\/p>\n

VEGAS FALCONS vs OPTIC TEXAS CDL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

Best Odds:<\/td>\nFalcons $10.66 at GG Bet<\/a> | OpTic $1.01 at GG Bet<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

A rematch from the first round of CDL 2025 Stage 1 Minor sees Vegas Falcons seek revenge against OpTic Texas, who eliminated them from the tournament with a 3-0 sweep. Despite the final result, the game was very close at some points.<\/p>\n

Vegas should’ve won the first map (Hardpoint\u2014Vault), but they ended up short by six points. Likewise, the Falcons held on well on Search & Destroy (4-6) but got bodied on Control, losing the game 0-3. On a more positive note, Saud “Exnid” Alati had an insane performance at the Minor.<\/p>\n

This is OpTic Texas’ game to lose, but while they are the better team, betting on the Vegas Falcons to keep improving and take a bite out of the reigning champions at $2.52 is a more appealing pick.<\/p>\n

MINNESOTA R\u00d8KKR vs TORONTO ULTRA CDL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

Best Odds:<\/td>\nR\u00d8KKR $2.30 at GG Bet<\/a> | Ultra $1.55 at GG Bet<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Minnesota R\u00d8KKR are 2-2 in CDL 2025 Stage 1 Major Qualifiers, and they played surprisingly well at Minor 1, with three five-game series, which included wins against Los Angeles Guerrillas M80 and Toronto Ultra and a loss against Atlanta FaZe.<\/p>\n

R\u00d8KKR are punching well above their weight, for which they deserve respect, but it is fair to question how long they will manage to play at this level.<\/p>\n

After getting reverse-swept by their rivals, Toronto Ultra are priced as favourites to get their revenge against R\u00d8KKR on Friday. And while Ultra should be the better team, R\u00d8KKR are currently playing better Call of Duty.<\/p>\n
