Enable & Pacman: OpTic facing biggest test yet | CDL Reverse Sweep Preview DexertoThe 2021 Call of Duty League Season is through to Week 3 with the Dallas Home Series. Before we get there, join our Reverse Sweep crew of \u2018Enable\u2019 Wyatt, Jonathan \u2018Pacman\u2019 Tucker & Katie Bedford to preview all the biggest matchups. With the Stage 3 Major fast approaching, there\u2019s only one event left for teams to improve their spot going in. The Dallas Home Series is right around the corner and our Reverse Sweep team is here to break it all down. From the biggest matches to the players you need to keep an eye on, here are the biggest talking points heading into the next week of CDL action. OpTic looking to break out of a slump The past week wasn\u2019t all too kind to OpTic. Suffering a 1-3 loss against the LA Thieves, they now find themselves battling for a better spot in Group B. A rough showing could be lead to a lower bracket start in the Major and they just so happen to be up against two of their toughest opponents. First on the agenda is NYSL but close behind is FaZe, a match Pacman \u201cdefinitely expects\u201d OpTic to lose. Enable backed him up, arguing \u201cFaZe is just a little too much for Chicago.\u201d Both games will be extremely important as Stage 3 comes to a close. If OpTic doesn\u2019t perform, it could be their downfall, according to the Reverse Sweep crew. Stage 3 Major Losers Bracket predictions 3-11 in RESPAWNS?! \ud83d\ude2c @PacmanJT & @Enable discuss OpTic\u2019s struggles against top teams.#CDL2021 Stage 3 Week 2 Review: https:\/\/t.co\/UmyVZauyDY pic.twitter.com\/RK5yifeNEE\u2014 Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) May 4, 2021 On the back of their predictions for OpTic, both Enable and Pacman believe they could end up in the lower bracket at the Major. \u201cEven if they go 1-1 [this week], I don\u2019t know if that will guarantee them the winner\u2019s bracket,\u201d Enable said. \u201cRealistically, OpTic has the most chance to go 0-2 this week compared to other teams,\u201d he added.\u201d Meanwhile, Pacman also threw Seattle and London into the mix as two teams all but destined for the lower bracket start. Seattle\u2019s Stage 3 roster shuffle Just days out from the Dallas Home Series, Seattle announced that Loony would be moving to the bench. In his place, Decemate is returning to a starting CDL lineup. Despite the shakeup, Enable and Pacman don\u2019t see it working out for the Surge. \u201cDecemate\u2019s been in the League before, I\u2019m not expecting much from this change,\u201d Pacman said. \u201cHe\u2019s not a better player than Loony.\u201d Continuing the argument, Enable outlined how Seattle\u2019s problems can\u2019t be boiled down to a single play. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to say that he\u2019s going to make them any better. Seattle has bigger issues.\u201d Players & teams to watch during the Dallas Home Series It’s the last week before the Stage 3 Major and pressure is higher than ever. 5 players’ Dallas Home Series performances can dramatically impact #CDL2021 momentum: \ud83d\udd39 @ColtHavok \ud83d\udd39 @Huke \ud83d\udd39 @MackMelts \ud83d\udd39 @FormaL \ud83d\udd39 @Decemate pic.twitter.com\/sLOTzc7j5x\u2014 Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) May 6, 2021 With 10 games scheduled for the week, there\u2019s plenty to keep on top of. As for the most important rosters though, OpTic and the Subliners stand out for Enable and Pacman respectively. \u201cThis is a make or break week for [OpTic],\u201d Enable said. \u201cIf things go south, they could start in the losers bracket and have a very hard time in the Major. They\u2019re either going to excel or end up having to make a team change.\u201d For NYSL, this week is equally important heading into the Major, according to Pacman. If they can secure back-to-back wins, they\u2019ll have confidence \u201cgoing into the Major knowing they could win it.\u201d On the flip side, a 0-2 week could have New York \u201cdoubting themselves.\u201d Bold predictions for the Dallas Home Series Closing things out with some bold predictions for the week, Pacman is confident NYSL will come through unscathed. \u201cNYSL\u2019s gonna go 2-0 this week,\u201d he said. \u201cBeat OpTic and Thieves, then they\u2019re gonna go on to at least Winner\u2019s Finals in the Major. Meanwhile, Enable had to go with his boys in the LA Thieves. Not only can he see them \u201cgetting first in [Group B],\u201d but he predicts a finals appearance in the Stage 3 Major as well.
