FaZe roll, R0kkr bounced in CDL Week 7

The Atlanta FaZe and Minnesota R0kkr entered Week 7 with eyes on the top of the Call of Duty League standings. While the FaZe continue to bear down on the first-place Dallas Empire, after a disastrous Saturday, the R0kkr are already done for the weekend.

Entering the day 50 points behind the Empire with 50 points going to the weekend champ, the R0kkr followed-up Friday's first-round win with a pair of stunning losses, losing 3-1 to the Toronto Ultra and 3-0 to the New York Subliners. To contrast, the R0kkr have 100 points through six weeks. The Ultra and Subliners have 40 -- combined. The FaZe opened play Saturday and advanced to Sunday's semifinals with a 3-1 win over the London Royal Ravens in the Group B winners' bracket. After taking Hackney Yard Hardpoint 250-104, FaZe lost 6-1 on Arklov Peak Search and Destroy. But they rebounded with a 155-145 win on Hackney Yard Domination and 250-130 win on Gun Runner Hardpoint to close it out.

In the Group B losers' bracket, OpTic Gaming Los Angeles went a perfect 6-0 to grab the group's other spot in Sunday's semis. First, OpTic took care of the Paris Legion with a 250-231 win on Rammaza Hardpoint, a 6-5 win on Arklov Peak Search and Destroy, and a 174-133 win on St. Petrograd Domination, making the Legion the weekend's first team eliminated. In the losers' bracket final, OpTic eliminated London with a 250-199 win on Azhir Cave Hardpoint, a 6-1 win on St. Petrograd Search and Destroy, and a 174-154 win on Hackney Yard Domination.

As for Group A, the Toronto Ultra got things started with the stunner over the R0kkr. Toronto opened with a 250-192 win on Hackney Yard Hardpoint, but Minnesota responded with a 6-4 win on Piccadilly Search and Destroy. The Ultra got the lead back with a 157-149 win on Hackney Yard Domination, and they closed out the match with a 250-109 win on Rammaza Hardpoint. Then came the losers' bracket, which looked a lot like the Group B losers' bracket as the Subliners pulled off back-to-back sweeps.

First, New York eliminated the Florida Mutineers with a 250-194 win on Rammaza Hardpoint, a 6-5 win on Rammaza Search and Destroy, and a 177-143 win on Hackney Yard Domination. The Subliners then ended R0kkr's tournament with about as close of a match a sweep can be. New York won 250-249 win on Rammaza Hardpoint, then 6-5 on St. Petrograd Search and Destroy, and finally 159-150 on Gun Runner Domination. Three wins by a total of 11 points. Week 7 ends Sunday with both the semifinals and grand final.
