ActivisionCDL Bounty matches return for Major IV and V Qualifiers. Here’s everything you need to know about the hotly contested games with a little more at stake.
Toronto Ultra silenced the Arlington Esports Stadium by taking down the hometown OpTic Texas in the Major III Grand Finals. CDL teams take two weeks off before returning back to action on March 31 for Major IV Qualifiers. Only eight of the league’s 12 teams qualify for CoD Champs. With only two more stages remaining, teams will be hungry to make one final push for a playoff berth.
Every match means more at this stage of the season, and Bounties add an extra level of bragging rights to Qualifiers. As for teams who essentially already have a CoD Champs spot locked up, the extra wrinkle ensures squads don’t become too complacent.
Without further ado, here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming CDL Bounty matches.
