LAS VEGAS – Day 2 of the Call of Duty League Championships begins with the Toronto Koi (-170) and Miami Heretics fighting for their tournament lives. Miami and Toronto each got 3-0’d by their respective opponents (Optic Texas, Paris Gentle Mates, respectively), but Esports betting sites favor the Koi to win and advance to elimination round 2.
Miami Heretics vs Toronto Koi Betting Lines
| Team | Spread | Odds To Win | Total Maps |
|---|---|---|---|
| Miami Heretics | +1.5 (-185) | +130 | O4.5 (+145) |
| Toronto Koi | -1.5 (+140) | -170 | U4.5 (-190) |
Koi’s sweep loss to Gentle Mates was far more competitive than Miami’s sweep loss to Optic Texas. Miami got blanked 6-0 in search and destroy (SnD) while Koi managed a 4-6 loss on Raid. If Raid survives the veto, Koi are a sharp bet on the 1.5-map spread at +140 odds.
G2 Minnesota vs LA Thieves Betting Lines
| Team | Spread | Odds To Win | Total Maps |
|---|---|---|---|
| G2 Minnesota | +1.5 (+160) | +375 | O3.5 (-200) |
| LA Thieves | -1.5 (-210) | -600 | U3.5 (+150) |
G2 are massive +375 underdogs against an angry LA Thieves squad, but their key to victory is a Fringe or Gridlock SnD. Thieves got smoked 6-1 on Fringe against the Riyadh Falcons, while G2’s lone map win against FaZe was a 6-4 Fringe SnD victory.
Back in Major 4, G2 managed to steal a Gridlock SnD and a Hacienda SnD off Optic Texas, so they could cover the +1.5-map spread (+160) if they can manage another SnD win against LA Thieves.
FaZe Vs Falcons, Optic Vs Mates Cap Off CDL Champs Day 2
FaZe Vegas are -240 favorites against Riyadh Falcons in the first game of winners round 2. Both teams are respawn-heavy, but the legal sports betting odds don’t seem to be calculating for the arrival of Alluka.
Faze Vegas vs Riyadh Falcons Betting Lines
| Team | Spread | Odds To Win | Total Maps |
|---|---|---|---|
| Faze Vegas | -1.5 (+100) | -240 | O4.5 (+165) |
| Riyadh Falcons | +1.5 (-130) | +180 | U4.5 (-220) |
The rookie made his Champs debut known with a 1.33 K/D against back-to-back Major winning LA Thieves. Based on the 4.5-map total, this is the best match of the day.
Optic Texas vs Paris Gentle Mates Betting Lines
| Team | Spread | Odds To Win | Total Maps |
|---|---|---|---|
| Optic Texas | -1.5 (-175) | -500 | O3.5 (-240) |
| Paris Gentle Mates | +1.5 (+135) | +325 | U3.5 (+180) |
The back-to-back CDL Champs winners in Optic Texas are expected to keep rolling against Paris Gentle Mates on their way to a third-consecutive championship. There are -240 odds for over 3.5 maps, assuming that the Gentle Mates will get at least one map win.
Optic’s respawn identity could be tested against a slow-mode team like the Gentle Mates. Paris prefers Scar in both respawn modes, where Optic scraped by Heretics 250-243 yesterday in Hardpoint. A Hardpoint-focused series favors Optic, but the Mates could push for an upset with overload and SnD.
