CDL Atlanta has now wrapped up, with hosts Atlanta FaZe crowned champions. Make sure to check our CDL Atlanta tournament recap for final placements, highlights, and more.
The Call of Duty League got into its stride at CDL London, which saw the first tournament-style event of the new year take place. With only eight teams participating at each home series after the launch weekend, however, CDL Atlanta will be the first time several teams are competing in a tournament format.
There’s plenty to look forward to at CDL Atlanta, but for many fans the highlight will undoubtedly be the anticipated meeting of home team Atlanta FaZe and Chicago Huntsmen. In the absence of FaZe, the Huntsmen secured a dominant win at CDL London, but the real battle for the top spot could still be to come.
Meanwhile, OpTic Gaming LA will have their first chance to bounce back from an underwhelming showing at the CDL Launch Weekend, with Minnesota ROKKR and Florida Mutineers also participating in their first tournament of the season.
Here’s everything you need to know to keep up with all the action at CDL Atlanta.
