After the Reverse Sweep gang\u2019s last review of the CDL, there are huge implications for league teams heading into the next Major \u2013 where everyone is expecting big upsets early on in the brackets. From the Round 1 matchup in the Winners Bracket between New York Subliners and Dallas Empire to seeing LA Thieves\u2019 big (already-impressive) attempt at a Losers\u2019 bracket run, there\u2019s plenty to unpack in the $500,000 Major. Winners Bracket Predictions Two teams that have all the firepower to be in the Grand Finals, Empire and Subliners, are matched up in the first round of the Winners Bracket. This is the game that Pacman can see having ripple effects across the Major regardless who wins. Meanwhile, the panel thinks OpTic are a sure bet on the other side of Winners. Enable gave his perspective of the Green Wall\u2019s drive in the lead-up to their game vs Toronto Ultra, especially since OpTic members have hardly been streaming in order to grind for the Major. Losers Bracket Prediction The rest of the teams in the Losers Bracket have a chance of making it far, but the Reverse Sweep crew were liking one group in particular to have the most impact. Pacman and Enable like the Seattle Surge as being an extremely dangerous team in the lower bracket. Ones to Watch Enable is still riding the R\u00d8KKR hype. The team did everything in their power to top out the LAG Home Series Group B standings and were rewarded with a prime position to go far in the second Major. But Pacman is also looking at OpTic\u2019s frontman, Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner. This is a big event for OpTic, who want to establish themselves as a top-three team in the league. As for Katie, she wants to see New York Subliners\u2019 James \u2018Clayster\u2019 Eubanks take the next step in his leadership over his team to bring about meaningful results. Bold Predictions and Grand Finals The biggest prediction came from Pacman, who thinks FaZe Clan are going to go to the Losers Bracket at the hands of OpTic. But \u201cFaZe is FaZe,\u201d and Pacman can still see them taking the whole Major. As for Enable, he\u2019s taking the R\u00d8KKR all the way to Grand Finals. While he\u2019s not saying the team is a lock to take the entire tournament, he\u2019s confident that Minnesota can break a few brackets in their run. The entire Reverse Sweep crew agreed on one thing: FaZe Clan in the Finals. But they were all split on who they were going to go up against.
