The biggest event in the Call of Duty League calendar has come to a close. The CDL Championship Weekend 2023 took place across June 15 – June 18 at the Thomas & Mack Center UNLV. The event saw season-long rivalries culminate in an action-packed showdown, with teams competing for their share of the $2 million prize pool.
During this year’s Grand Finals, two teams with impressive season performance were facing off for the win: Toronto Ultra and NY Subliners. Despite the fight that Ultra put up throughout the season, having taken down Subliners in an earlier bracket, the New York team dominated where it mattered. Walking away with a 5-0 win, NY Subliners took home the trophy and ultimate bragging rights.
