Major I is officially in the books, and with the first LAN of the season complete, the Call of Duty League hierarchy has shifted. On-stage performances carried far more weight than online results, separating true contenders from teams still searching for consistency as Stage II approaches.
Some squads proved they can thrive under the lights, while others left Dallas with more questions than answers. With Major I heavily influencing the outlook moving forward, here’s how all 12 CDL teams stack up in our Post–Major I Power Rankings heading into Stage II.
How the teams are ranked: The writers, stats team, and Dope Check talent at Breaking Point were polled to rate each of the 12 teams after the Major I Qualifiers. Each ranks the teams 1st through 12th. After collecting the rankings from the BP team, each team would be given points for each vote, as seen below:
1st – 12 points
2nd – 11 points
3rd – 10 points
4th – 9 points
5th – 8 points
6th – 7 points
7th – 6 points
8th – 5 points
9th – 4 points
10th – 3 points
11th – 2 point
12th – 1 points
