FaZe completed a three-peat after winning the Esports World Cup, CDL Major 1, and CDL Major 2.
The Atlanta FaZ,e made it look easy en route to their second consecutive Major tournament triumph this past weekend in Allen, Texas. After conquering Major 1, FaZe entered CDL Major 2 2025 as the number two seed behind only the Los Angeles Thieves. They went wire-to-wire to reaffirm their stance atop the Call of Duty League.
Here’s how the events played out at the Optic Texas-hosted CDL Major 2.
Atlanta FaZe dominate on their path to the Grand Finals
Cellium, aBeZy, Simp, and Drazah moved effortlessly through the upper bracket until the Winner’s Finals. They defeated the Minnesota ROKKR and Cloud9 New York before encountering their most formidable task yet in the Vancouver Surge.
This match-up would prove their most challenging at CDL Major 2 2025. FaZe dropped both Hardpoints to the Surge before ultimately pulling off a “neslo,” winning Control and Search and Destroy maps. From there, the eventual winners waited patiently for the outcome of the Loser’s Finals.
Sure enough, the Vancouver Surge handily took down the dangerous Toronto Ultra, setting up a rematch between FaZe and Surge.
