With the Major III Pro-Am in Atlanta just a week away, the Call of Duty League hierarchy has started to separate, at least at the very top. The leading contenders have created real separation from the bottom four teams, but that doesn’t mean the picture is completely settled. The upper half of the table is still trading blows, with every matchup between playoff-caliber squads giving fans good matchups and being important for seeding heading into LAN.

Even with a clear divide emerging, the margins among the elite remain thin. The Major will be instrumental to changing the landscape, as a hot stretch can vault a team back into being a title favorite for the rest of the year. With new pieces settling in and Pro-Am storylines already forming around Atlanta, it’s the perfect time to reset expectations and reassess the field. Here’s how all 12 CDL teams stack up in our latest Breaking Point Power Rankings heading into Major III.

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
