CDL Stage 5 groups & delayed match schedule announced: FaZe, OpTic, NYSL in Group A Call of Duty LeagueThe Call of Duty League has announced details for Stage 5. Here\u2019s everything you need to know about CDL 2021\u2019s last stage, including the delayed schedule and a Group A that\u2019s stacked with FaZe, OpTic, and the Subliners. The CDL finally returned to LAN for the Stage 4 Major and now it\u2019s time for the final stage before CDL Champs. With only eight teams making it into this year\u2019s postseason, Stage 5 is the last chance to cement a place in the standings and secure placement. On June 25, the league revealed how the Stage 5 groups shook out \u2014 with Stage 4\u2019s champion Atlanta FaZe and runner-up Dallas Empire starting the selection process off. Interestingly, this draft has left us with a particularly stacked Group A. Here\u2019s how the groups are looking for Stage 5, as well as the schedule for the next three weeks (which is delayed by one week, unlike earlier stages). CDL 2021 Stage 5: Groups A and B GROUP A: Atlanta FaZe (30-4) – OpTic Chicago (20-15) – New York Subliners (21-12) – LA Thieves (14-17) – Paris Legion (7-17) – London Royal Ravens (7-20) – GROUP B: Dallas Empire (21-15) – Toronto Ultra (22-14) – Minnesota ROKKR (13-15) – Florida Mutineers (14-16) – LA Guerrillas (8-20) – Seattle Surge (7-20) – How the CDL Groups get chosen After the Stage 4 Major, the tourney\u2019s two Grand Finalists \u2014 FaZe and Empire \u2014 were placed in groups. After that, in order of final placements at the Major, each team got to choose who would stay in their group or be put in the other. As such, it\u2019s clear that FaZe wanted Ultra in Group B, while Dallas opted to put OpTic in Group A \u2014 a potentially surprising move since many consider New York to be a top-three squad. CDL 2021 Stage 5 full match schedule As for the schedule, it\u2019s much like earlier stages except delayed by one week. Here\u2019s when the three weeks of group play will take place: Week 1: New York Home Series (July 8-11) – Week 2: Minnesota Home Series (July 15-18) – Week 3: Seattle Home Series (July 22-25) – Interestingly, while there are usually one-week breaks between a stage major and the following stage\u2019s first week, the CDL has revealed a two-week break. Fans are likely wondering if this is due to time spent on the World Series of Warzone or because teams need more time to prepare for potential LAN opportunities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
