LA Thieves and Octane set unfortunate CDL Search & Destroy record in Atlanta FaZe loss Call of Duty League\/ActivisionCDL\u2019s Major 4 qualifiers are underway and unfortunately for Octane\u2019s LA Thieves, things are off to a tough start. They played Atlanta FaZe close through five games, but a tragic Search and Destroy performance has them going into the record books for all the wrong reasons. It\u2019s nearly Champs time and that means that teams should be approaching their final form as they prepare to lock in for the most crucial stretch of the year. For the Los Angeles Thieves, things have been quite up-and-down this season and the most recent qualifiers only highlighted that even further. While the team has looked better ever since making some role changes back in April, their hard work still couldn\u2019t save them from being on the less-pleasant side of history in their first qualifying matches for Major 4. LA Thieves S&D woes in Major 4 qualifiers Things started out hot for LA as they trounced the series-favorite in Gavutu Hardpoint, claiming a 250-128 victory over the defending world champions in Atlanta FaZe. However the wobbles started to show as FaZe responded back with a decisive 6-0 victory on Berlin S&D. Despite claiming the second-highest damage in the lobby, Octane found himself exiting the map without a single kill when it was all said and done. Still Thieves bounced back stealing away a 3-2 Tuscan Control victory before once again being cooled off in a 250-185 Hardpoint loss on the same map. The stage was set for a final Search showdown and that\u2019s where the wheels completely fell off. Once again FaZe caught fire and the Thieves were trounced 6-0 once more. While that\u2019s tough enough to handle, Octane once again failed to find a kill through six rounds. I dont think anyone in the history of CoD esports\u2026. has ever gone double donuts in 2 SnDs in the same series.@OctaneSam You have set a record. Congrats. \u2014 Brice (@Bricetacular) June 26, 2022 This means that not only did Octane have the CDL\u2019s first \u2018double donut\u2019 series but his team also claimed the distinction of being the first squad to lose both S&Ds in a series without taking a single round. For all the improvements they\u2019ve made so far this year, this performance indicates there\u2019s still a long way to go if they\u2019re going to retain their 7th place spot and qualify for Champs come August.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
