\u2028London Royal Ravens will welcome back Joey “Gismo” Owen for this week, but it’s not like the London squad struggled without him – far from it. The Royal Ravens won both of their CDL Major 2 qualifiers outings against New York Sublinbers (3-1) and Los Angeles Thieves (3-0) in quite a dominant fashion.<\/p>\n

The fact that London Royal Ravens were able to perform that well with Paul “PaulEhx” Avila as a temporary substitute is an excellent indication of how good Royal Ravens actually are. It might be a hot take, but they look like the most well-rounded in the CDL currently.<\/p>\n

It will take a lot more than Paris Legion to stop London Royal Ravens, who should be in for a quick and easy 3-0. The top esports betting sites<\/a> are offering better than evens for that result.<\/p>\n

SEATTLE SURGE vs OPTIC TEXAS CDL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

Best Odds:<\/td>\nSurge +350 at BetOnline<\/a> | OpTic -625 at BetOnline<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Seattle Surge lost their opening match of the CDL Major 2 qualifiers against Boston Breach (1-3) but quickly bounced back with a 3-2 victory against Atlanta FaZe on Sunday. So even though we’re not sold on Seattle Surge just yet, they have started showing some signs of improvement.<\/p>\n

They might not be one of the top CDL<\/a> teams record-wise, but the Surge were a bit unlucky, lost a couple of bad maps, and had many missed opportunities. They now have a chance to prove themselves through a very tough schedule, starting with a clash against the reigning CDL Major champions, OpTic Texas. The latter are expected to win; however, Seattle Surge have the right tools to make this match interesting.<\/p>\n

Seth “Scump” Abner and co. are technically the best team in the CDL, but they have their weaknesses, mainly Berlin, where they’re 0-4. And even if OpTic ban Berlin, this leaves Gavutu, a map that can go either way. Moreover, Surge are by far the best team on Tuscan, so map pool-wise, they’re in a good spot.<\/p>\n

This will be an entertaining series that will be much closer than people think. A correct score bet on OpTic to win 3-2 might be worth a shot, but we’re on the Surge with a map advantage.<\/p>\n

MINNESOTA R\u00d8KKR vs BOSTON BREACH CDL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

Best Odds:<\/td>\nR\u00d8KKR -120.48 at BetOnline<\/a> | Breach -120.48 at BetOnline<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
When:<\/td>\nMarch 18, 2022 | 19:30 CDT<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Boston Breach had a great run through the first CDL Major last month when they beat Florida Mutineers (3-2), Paris Legion (3-1) and nearly took down Toronto Ultra (2-3). They’ve since added one more victory (3-1) against Seattle Surge in the first round of CDL Major 2 qualifiers.<\/p>\n

Minnesota R\u00d8KKR have so far beaten only Paris Legion, Los Angeles Guerrillas (twice), and OpTic Texas in the first week of the season. That isn’t a terrible record, but it’s far from great, knowing that R\u00d8KKR have yet to win against a tough opponent.<\/p>\n

That’s not to say R\u00d8KKR are much weaker than Boston Breach, but their showings don’t inspire much confidence. Talent-wise, these two rosters are evenly matched, so it all comes down to which team we have less faith in, and currently, that’s Minnesota R\u00d8KKR.<\/p>\n
