2024’s CDL Championship weekend has wrapped up, and it has crowned OpTic Texas as this year’s champions, their first Champs trophy in the CDL era.
The last time the Green Wall won a ring was at the 2017 CoD World League Championship back with their legendary Scump-led squad.
In their campaign for their 2024 rings, OpTic made a relatively dominant upper-bracket run. They beat LA Guerillas in the first round, which pitted them against a young LA Thieves who were looking to make a deep run.
They beat them in a close 3-2, and would go on to beat the Major 4 winners, New York Subliners, in the Upper-Bracket final in yet another close 3-2.

Subliners would go on to have a shot at revenge and a back-to-back championship, however, OpTic – backed by their home crowd – won when it mattered most with a dominant 5-1 performance in the Grand FInals.
Shotzzy was the tournament MVP while Pred made history as the first APAC player to win a ring.
