The inaugural season of the Call of Duty League kicks off this weekend in Minneapolis, Minn. The next big push from Activision-Blizzard into eSports is just days away now and the professionals and coaches have spoken on who is expected to be the best.
Topping the list is the Atlanta FaZE squad. If you haven’t been paying attention this offseason, Atlanta FaZE has been absolutely dominant. At one point, they went on a 52-map winning streak, lost one map, and then went on to win the next 42 maps. it is easy to understand why they top the list going into Week 1.
Sitting at No. 2 on the list is the Dallas Empire followed by Chicago Huntsmen. Coming up at the bottom of the list is the L.A. Guerrillas and Paris Legion. Keep in mind, all of this voting is based on scrimmages, and the two last teams have hardly had any.
