CDL Champs 2021: Team of the Week & MVP And that\u2019s that. The Call of Duty League\u2019s 2021 season is over, with Atlanta FaZe securing the bag at CDL Champs. The league\u2019s eight best teams fought through the bracket and the game\u2019s biggest superstars did not disappoint. CDL Champs was a fitting climax to a wild season of professional CoD, with teams like OpTic Chicago and the Minnesota ROKKR falling out despite herculean efforts. Ultimately, the Toronto Ultra robbed the Dallas Empire of a Championship repeat \u2014 before being robbed themselves by the dominant Atlanta FaZe. LAN, fans, and highlight pop-off plays galore \u2014 CDL Champs 2021 had it all. But we can\u2019t only focus on FaZe. Here\u2019s our Team of the Week after the league\u2019s playoff bracket, with these stars truly shining and, trophy or not, deserving of praise. CDL Champs 2021 TOTW It\u2019s rare for an MVP to come from a losing side, but Cammy was in rare form this week. A testament to his individual prowess, the Ultra slayer received 44.2% of our Grand Finals MVP vote \u2014 edging out the likes of FaZe\u2019s aBeZy (29.3%) and Cellium (23.8%). Of course, those two FaZe dynamos deserve the gas as well. While Simp and Arcitys were absolute juggernauts, aBeZy and Cell enabled Atlanta to secure the championship by popping off routinely. But there were incredible performances from players on teams who didn\u2019t make it to the Grand Finals too, with the Empire\u2019s Shotzzy leading the pack. OpTic\u2019s Scump and the ROKKR\u2019s Standy were just barely edged out by 2020\u2019s MVP, who \u2014 once again \u2014 proved he\u2019s the best POV in Call of Duty. Here\u2019s how we came up with our CDL Champs 2021 Team of the Week. MVP: Cameron \u2018Cammy\u2019 McKilligan (Toronto Ultra) “”Operation ‘Do Not Get 4-Pieced By Cammy”” \u2013 @ChanceCasts#CDL2021 pic.twitter.com\/CYr0iJea5L \u2014 Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) August 22, 2021 How do you even pick a top highlight from Cammy? The timeline was littered with capslocked reactions to the Scotsman\u2019s destructive tendencies, as he went on unimaginable sprees when Toronto needed him most. While his ace and pop-off moments against FaZe were instrumental to ensuring the match wasn\u2019t as lopsided as it could have been, it was the performance against Empire that truly took the league by storm. Tied 1-1, Cammy went from an abysmal 12-25 K\/D to\u2026 33-29. Ultra proved, without a doubt, that they are a top-two team in CoD and that was in major part thanks to Cammy\u2019s takeovers. McArthur \u2018Cellium\u2019 Jovel (Atlanta FaZe) And some more trickery, @Cellium apparently saved this spot for months \ud83d\udc80pic.twitter.com\/lyqunZbUY1 \u2014 DEXERTO Call of Duty Esports News (@DexertoIntel) August 23, 2021 The hardest kill in Call of Duty, Cellium doesn\u2019t always get the individual awards, but his impact is practically unrivaled. After Major 5 he got his team to focus on the mysterious L-stick-slide tech and, in Champs, he opened his entire bag of tricks. Game 1 of the Winner\u2019s Finals vs Empire? Cell dropped a 29-13 with 5.4k damage (1k+ more than anyone else in the lobby). Grand Finals vs Ultra? Cell\u2019s clever plays helped secure the 5-3 win. By the end of Champs, Cell had the highest K\/D in the league: 1.32 (via BreakingPoint). Different breed. Tyler \u2018aBeZy\u2019 Pharris Your 2021 CDL Champs MVP: @aBeZy \ud83c\udfc6 pic.twitter.com\/XbcKN3qKNR \u2014 Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) August 22, 2021 Speaking of different breeds, aBeZy was in peak form this Champs. While 2021 MVP Simp could deserve the praise, it was aBeZy\u2019s relentless pace that enabled FaZe to secure the trophy. And, as an added bonus, he walked away with Champs MVP.

Known as the \u201cFirst Blood King\u201d for his S&D prowess, the demon showed why he\u2019s the ideal CoD teammate: a dirty worker who somehow, some way still slays out. Anthony \u2018Shotzzy\u2019 Cuevas-Castro Why is @Shotzzy like this\u2026 \ud83d\ude31pic.twitter.com\/jdKOg5LPeX \u2014 Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) August 20, 2021 Yes, Scump posted a higher Champs K\/D (1.18) and yes, Simp and Bance made it further in Champs. But no, there is not a chance in hell that Shotzzy is being left off of the Champs TOTW. The 2020 MVP was an animal on the map all weekend. From dropping 25-10 in Game 1 against the ROKKR to finishing with a top-five K\/D (1.16), the movement maestro Shotzzy willed the Empire all the way to third place and into our TOTW.
