Insane is the only way to describe what took place in yesterday’s last round of Call Of Duty League: Toronto Ultra Home Series. Things did not go as expected for the Dallas Empire prodigies as they gave away the first two rounds, coming extremely close to victory both times. 250-247 on the first Hardpoint followed by 11 rounds of Search & Destroy, which they lost 6-5 to the Canadians. They hit back with an impressive 196-123 victory on the next Domination but Toronto finally got the better of them in the last respawn with a negligible margin of 250-244. They made a comeback yesterday to clinch a semis spot only to give it away, again.

The other semis did go exactly as expected with FaZe sweeping away Optic Gaming with an emphatic 3-0 win. Optic’s wish to be amongst the top #8 seeds came crumbling down as FaZe overpowered them, through and through. Simp cleared up the S&D round with 2 snipes and a pistol in some exquisite gameplay.

That meant FaZe had to win through the next St. Petrograd Hardpoint to be able to continue the title race. And that is exactly what happened; Atlanta forced a 250-143 victory to restore parity at 2-2.

Methodz, however, has been a crucial factor in S&D for Ultra. He had expertly carried out a ninja defuse in the 5 round that left the commentators wild.
