The Atlanta FaZe became the first squad to move to 4-0 at the Call of Duty League Major 1 qualifiers on Friday.
The FaZe rolled past the Minnesota Rokkr (1-3) in a 3-0 sweep as Atlanta remained one of just two remaining unbeaten teams, along with the idle Seattle Surge (3-0).
In the day’s other action, the Los Angeles Thieves upped their mark to 3-1 by defeating the winless Paris Legion, 3-1. The last-place Legion fell to 0-5. OpTic Texas (2-2) also took down the Toronto Ultra (2-2) in a 3-0 sweep.
The FaZe began with a 250-163 triumph on Tuscan Hardpoint and a tight 6-5 win on Tuscan Search and Destroy. Atlanta finished the match with a 3-1 victory on Tuscan Control.
The Thieves pounced on the beleaguered Legion in a 250-57 rout on Gavutu Hardpoint to take the first map. Paris evened the match at a map apiece with a 6-3 win on Berlin Search and Destroy. But L.A. took the next two maps, winning 3-2 on Gavutu Control and 250-180 on Bocage Hardpoint.
OpTic Texas had no problem with Toronto, charting victories on Bocage Hardpoint (197-184), Tuscan Search and Destroy (6-2) and Tuscan Control (3-1).
