Ultra in control of CDL \u2018Group of Death\u2019 | CDL Reverse Sweep Stage 3 Preview Dexerto \/ Call of Duty LeagueThe Call of Duty League crowned its Stage 2 champions, the Toronto Ultra, and now moves toward Stage 3. The Reverse Sweep crew, Enable, Pacman, and Katie Bedford, preview how crazy the CDL\u2019s groups and rosters are about to be. After reviewing all of the Stage 2 Major\u2019s madness, Ian \u2018Enable\u2019 Wyatt, Jonathan \u2018Pacman\u2019 Tucker and Katie Bedford are ready for a wild Stage 3. The Ultra shocked everyone by demolishing the Atlanta FaZe in the Major, but things should get even spicier in Stage 3. The first thing on the Reverse Sweep\u2019s communal mind? Stacked groups. The crew broke down just how nasty the groups can be after Toronto makes its first choice: throwing the Dallas Empire into FaZe\u2019s group. Then, after looking into what caliber of groups might be in play for Stage 3, the group also dove into official and rumored roster shakeups. All things considered, the CDL could be a different world in its third stage. The Group of Death \u201cThis is terrifying,\u201d Pacman said about the groups that are about to get wild. Toronto can put Dallas in Atlanta\u2019s group, then FaZe can put the Minnesota ROKKR in Toronto\u2019s group. Next, they predict Minnesota puts OpTic Chicago in FaZe\u2019s group \u2014 and you can sense how frightening things can get. \u201cThe top three would be FaZe, Empire, OpTic in one group. I don\u2019t even have words to explain\u2026\u201d As evidenced by Enable\u2019s inability to elaborate, in all likelihood there will be a very intimidating \u2018group of death\u2019 in Stage 3. The roster moves: Mutineers, Legion, and Guerrillas? Touching on the LA Thieves\u2019 decision to bench Austin \u2018SlasheR\u2019 Liddicoat, Pacman explains the mantra of all CDL teams: \u201cSometimes you just have to take a risk and act.\u201d Read more: CDL announces long-awaited return to LAN – As such, the crew agrees that three teams need to make changes: the Florida Mutineers, Paris Legion, and Los Angeles Guerrillas. While the Legion have already picked up Donovan \u2018Temp\u2019 Laroda, the other two rosters have some serious candidates to consider in the midseason Rostermania. \u201cThere\u2019s players that are waiting for their opportunity. They\u2019re on the sidelines right now, hungry. Saints, Temp, Havoc, Sib, Decemate. There is a lot of talent that are ready to come and take your spot.\u201d As Enable explains, should the Mutineers and Guerrillas elect to make a change \u2014 there are some intriguing prospects lying in wait. OpTic can\u2019t make a change, but the Subliners should Speaking of teams that could make changes, both OpTic and the New York Subliners had disappointing performances in the Stage 2 Major. The group agrees that OpTic can\u2019t make a change unless a player decides to retire, as there are no reasonable replacements for the team\u2019s talent and stardom. Pacman explains OpTic\u2019s position succinctly with regards to making a roster change: \u201cCould they? Of course they could. Will they? No.\u201d As for the Subliners, pointing out that rookie Paco \u2018HyDra\u2019 Rusiewiez\u2019s English is good enough for his team to dominate in Challengers, the Reverse Sweep gang agrees it\u2019s time to give him a chance. \u201cMack and Diamondcon are great. So is Asim and Clay. They\u2019re all great players, but is it enough firepower? And you have this generational talent, that everyone\u2019s telling me, on the bench.\u201d With Enable touching on HyDra\u2019s growing reputation, the group thinks it\u2019s time for New York to give their \u201cgenerational talent\u201d a chance. Stage 3\u2019s X-Factors: Temp, iLLeY, and Octane As for established players who need to be watched in Stage 3, the group each broke down one player who they think is in must-watch territory. For Pacman, it\u2019s Temp, who he believes can form a dangerous tandem with Nicholas \u2018Classic\u2019 DiCostanzo. \u201cFor whatever reason, him and Nick have this really good duo chemistry thing going \u2014 and they could really, really make a team that\u2019s been on the cusp be really scary.\u201d In Enable\u2019s eyes, the most interesting player in Stage 3 is the underperforming Indervir \u2018iLLeY\u2019 Dhaliwal, who \u201cneeds to become [Empire\u2019s] SND superstar. That\u2019s what he\u2019s there for. Because if he doesn\u2019t \u2026 he would be the scapegoat if they ever decided to make a roster move.\u201d And, finally, Bedford kept it simple and went with the infamous Sam \u2018Octane\u2019 Larew because she\u2019s ready to see him return to his ceiling: \u201cI want him to prove that he deserves the paycheck that he\u2019s getting from Seattle. Where\u2019s Black Ops 4 Octane? Where is that Octane that wins those sub-range gunfights with his AR?\u201d Enable and Pacman weren\u2019t so sure BO4 Octane could resurrect in Black Ops Cold War, but their argument is best understood in the full preview show!
