As the Call of Duty League enters the fourth and final stage of the season, the pressure is at an all-time high. With three Majors in the books and only a handful of matches left before Champs, every series now carries major implications. Some teams are peaking at the perfect time, while others are scrambling to find form and keep their postseason hopes alive. From surging contenders to squads on the brink, the CDL landscape is more competitive than ever. Here’s how all 12 teams stack up in our Power Rankings heading into Stage IV.
How the teams are ranked: The writers, stats team, and content team at Breaking Point were polled to rate each of the 12 teams — putting more weight on recency instead of the entire season. Since there have only been two weeks of play, the team was assigned to rank the teams going into the Minor. 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
