Call of Duty League Major II Qualifier Schedule
Afro $9 - Minnesota RØkkr
The RØkkr had a ton of success throughout the Major 1 qualifiers despite falling short in group play. Afro was the main reason they came into group play as the number one seed. He is currently tied with Scrap in overall K/D with a spicy 1.14. He's reliable in all game modes and someone the entire RØkkr leans on. Afro is on the pricy end, but he'll pay off with another strong Major.
Owakening $8 - Boston Breach

After signing with Boston in the offseason, Owakening has been the caffeine this team needed after a solid season last year. He proved how valuable he is, making insanely clutch plays repeatedly in Major 1. He owns a respectful 1.08 overall K/D, but where he shines is on SnD. Owakening is destructive in that game mode and completely dominates his opponents. With the Major in Boston, expect Owakening to make a case for Major 2 MVP.
Skrapz $4 - London Royal Ravens
London was one of the teams that shook up their roster after a terrible showing in Major 1. Replacing PaulEhx will be Skrapz, who brings a ton of experience to the roster. While the pick is a bit risky, we can get away with it, having Afro and Owakening anchor the team. Skrapz is a high-upside selection and could pay off in his first Major of the season.
Vivid $4 - Boston Breach
After a rough performance in Major 1, selecting Vivid might be a bit concerning, but when he's playing his game, he can hang with anyone in the CDL. Add the fact that he's playing on his home turf will help fuel the fire he needs to have a strong Major 2. Vivid was consistent throughout each game mode, but that consistency wasn't up to his standards. As a cheap option, look for Vivid to have a strong Major and give you the boost to win your fantasy pick 'em.
