Launch Weekend

A lot happened in the Launch Weekend. However, one team did step up and earn a decent amount of CDL points.

According to bookmakers, Dallas Empire were the biggest favorite, but they did not look that good. Only one game won out of seven will not help their cause and I believe that they will have to step up massively in the coming weeks.

Another team that looked solid during the Launch Weekend is Minnesota RØKKR. A lot of coaches and professional CoD players are rating Minnesota as the top contender. So far, things are looking really good for them.

Week 2 - London

Top contenders such as Atlanta Faze and Minnesota RØKKR did not attend this event hosted by London Royal Ravens.

Dallas Empire looked much better despite being defeated in the grand final. No one believed that Chicago Huntsmen could do much here in London, but they proved us all wrong by winning the event and bagging themselves additional 50 CDL points in the process.

Who Are the Favorites to Win CoD Season 2020 League?

Now that you are familiar with what happened during the first couple of events, let’s talk about favorites.

First and foremost, a lot of professionals gave their opinion on CoD Season 2020 league and this is the conclusion.

Most of them are leaning towards Atlanta FaZe or Dallas Empire. As you can see from the recap above, Dallas Empire did not have the best start to the CoD 2020 League, but it seems like they are on the rise.

Furthermore, Atlanta FaZe looked dominant during the Launch Weekend. If you are looking to cash-in on the opinion of CoD pros, a lot of bookmakers will provide more than solid odds on Atlanta or Dallas winning CoD Season 2020 League.

If you want to find more information behind their reasoning, make sure you read players and coaches dish on the competition here.

It seems like betting sites do not fancy Minnesota RØKKR at all. Even though this team is ranked really high right now, odds on them winning the event are enormous. If you are a man of betting, you can make a fortune by betting on Minnesota RØKKR going all the way and lifting the trophy.

What to Expect in Week 3 - Atlanta?

There is only one favorite in this event and that is Atlanta FaZe. Chicago Huntsmen is also coming to this event with a tasty victory over Dallas Empire and it will definitely be interesting to see how will they face off against one of the biggest CoD 2020 League favorites.

What do you think, do Chicago Huntsmen have a chance of going all the way and winning the trophy? Will they be able to defeat Atlanta FaZe and grab themselves additional 50 points? Be sure to let us know your thoughts.
