OpTic Gaming Los Angeles

OpTIc surely holds the talented names to finish the season in the top three. The side holds the three-time Call of Duty world champion, Brandon “Dashy” Otell and his teammate, Brandon “Dashy” Otell was absolutely phenomenal in 2019. In the upcoming season, they will team up with the 100 Thieves duo Austin “SlasheR” Liddicoat and Kenny “Kenny” Williams. The last member of the team is former Evil Geniuses superstar, Jordan “JKap” Kaplan. On paper, the roster holds the elements of a remarkable team, but in their latest scrims, the side had its fair share of troubles. We believe that the team needs time to find the chemistry that will surely propel them to victory in 2020.

Florida Mutineers

The Mutineers need to shine. The team has invested big in signing a player from the reigning champions, eUnited. All eyes will be on Preston “Prestinni” Sanderson to take charge of the roster and make things happen for Florida this season. Aside from signing the eUnited superstar, Mutineers have also picked up former Gen.G duo Chance “Maux” Moncivaez and Colt “Havok” McLendon. Both Havok and Maux performed brilliantly for their old team and will have to be consistent against the likes of Surge, Empire and the Huntsman. The team surely holds the recipe of success, but Prestinni needs to become a true leader and inspire his side to success in 2020.

New York Subliners

We’re predicting the Subliners tp be amongst the most exciting teams in the new season. The team has managed to sign a majority of its members from FaZe. Since Dillon “Attach” Price, Trei “Zer0” Morris and Thomas “ZooMaa” Paparatto will be representing New York in 2020. The trio will play alongside Splyce’s Donovan “Temp” Laroda and Lamar “Accuracy” Abedi. The Subliners surely face a big test of formulating the winning chemistry in the team without egos getting involved. Attach is the youngest player to be crowned the world champion. Meanwhile, Temp made it to the All-Stars team of 2019. The duo will have to play around their strengths and weaknesses to propel the Subliners to victory.

Seattle Surge preview

Seattle Surge is one of the few teams to hold a five-man superstar roster for the 2020 season. Damon “Karma” Barlow was clinical in team OpTic’s success last season. Sam “Octane” Larew and Ian “Enable” Wyatt proved to be a dynamic duo for 100 Thieves as they were brutal in delivering aggression and explosiveness. Josiah “Slacked” Berry made phenomenal plays last season and team Luminosity to victory on multiple occasions. Lastly, Bryan “Apathy” Zhelyazkov has won two world championship titles. The side is all set to wreak havoc in the COD League.

Los Angeles Guerrillas

The Guerrillas arrive in the 2020 season with a strong and determined roster that is bound to keep the fans on the edge of their seats. Their roster might hold any reigning champions but accommodates a two-time world champion Patrick “ACHES” Price. ACHES will the core element for the season and will surely inspire the team to get his hand on another title. The only big question mark of the team is Ulysses “AquA” Silva as he has been inconsistent for quite some time. But we believe that his form will improve under the guidance of ACHES.

Atlanta FaZe tips

The most fearful team in the league will surely be the Atlanta FaZe. The team holds two reigning champions with Chris “Simp” Lehr and Tyler “aBeZy” Pharri from eUnited. Joining the duo is McArthur “Cellium” Jove who established a solid reputation last season of being one of the most unpredictable players. Michael “MajorManiak” Szymaniak was amongst reliable players for Gen.G in 2019. And lastly, Preston “Priestahh” Greiner completes the team with his aggressive mindset. Atlanta will have eyes set on the trophy.

Dallas Empire

After signing some of the best players in the league, Dallas Empire is surely on its way to lift the trophy. The most exciting name on the team is James “Clayster” Eubanks who has been playing on the professional level for 10 years and was crowned the world champion last year. He has played the game brilliantly over the years and will surely replicate his success in 2020. The other big name on the team is Ian “Crimsix” Porter he was a dominant force for the OpTic roster in 2019 and will showcase his talents for Empire this season. His fallout with his former team members will surely motivate him to win it all this year.

Chicago Huntsmen

From our perspective, the most dominant team of the COD League 2020 should be the Huntsman. The side not only holds an extraordinary roster but one of the best coaches as well. The big-name on the team is Seth “Scump” Abne who has over 10 years of experience. In his luxurious career, he has won a world championship, several MVP titles and is also al All-Star. He is alongside his T2P partner, Matthew “FormaL” Piper and the duo will only cause problems for the opposing teams. The reigning world champion, Alec “Arcitys” Sanderson will be aiming to win back to back titles. Dylan “Envoy” Hannon was a phenomenal player for Gen.G with consistent placements. And last addition is Pierce “Gunless” Hillman who has been one of the best players in the league for the past two years. These stars will be headed by coach Hector “H3CZ” Rodriguez and it is highly unlikely that the team will meet its match in the season.
