LA Thieves beat OpTic Texas to win CDL Minor Tournament II
LA Thieves turned Minor Tournament II into a 4-2 win over OpTic Texas, banking $20,000 and 30 CDL points from a single-elimination bracket that punished every mistake.
LA Thieves left Minor Tournament II with the clearest statement of the weekend, beating OpTic Texas 4-2 in the grand finals and taking the $20,000 prize plus 30 CDL points. In a single-elimination bracket, that kind of result mattered far beyond the modest payout: one bad series could erase momentum, reshape seeding, and swing the standings in a rush.
The Major IV Minor bracket ran June 5-7 online in North America and pulled in all 12 Call of Duty League teams, seeded by CDL points after Major 3. Matches were best-of-5 all the way to the grand finals, which were best-of-7, and that format made every round feel like a pressure check. The teams that needed stability found it in short bursts, while others had to live with how quickly the weekend could turn.
OpTic Texas reached the final with a 3-0 semifinal win over Riyadh Falcons, but LA Thieves handled the last hurdle and walked away with the biggest payoff. Paris Gentle Mates also made noise, sweeping Toronto KOI 3-0 in the quarterfinals, while FaZe Vegas edged Vancouver Surge 3-2 in another tight knockout match. Those results underscored the event’s central tension: there was no room to recover from a flat map, and the bracket rewarded the squads that arrived ready to stack clean series.
The stakes sat well above the cash. Second place still earned 20 CDL points, while third and fourth picked up 10 points each, and every point mattered with Major IV in Paris, France serving as the last chance to secure CDL points before Champs. The league’s season plan also has Championship Weekend heading to Las Vegas, Nevada, hosted by FaZe Vegas, which only sharpened the importance of every result that landed this weekend.
Minor Tournament II did what it was supposed to do. It separated the teams that could hold up under knockout pressure from the ones still looking for the right level before Paris, and LA Thieves were the ones who turned that stress test into a title run.
