The 2021 Season of the Call of Duty League<\/a> is now over, and after months full of incredible plays and memorable moments, a new champion has been crowned during its Championship Weekend<\/a>, being none other than Atlanta FaZe.<\/p>\n

In a kind of Cinderella story after falling in the 2020 finals, Atlanta managed to achieve their redemption following a fantastic season where they conquered three out of five majors<\/a>, closing this year’s run with the crown on their heads.<\/p>\n

FaZe managed to silence doubters, after they weren’t considered favourites to take the dub due to their poor performance in the last major before Champs.<\/p>\n

Thanks to this, their mindset changed as soon as the finals started, as they stomped both New York Subliners and 2020 Champions Dallas Empire<\/a>, to secure their ticket into the finals, where they would face Toronto Ultra from the losers’ side.<\/p>\n

While Toronto showed their potential throughout all the bracket, even after their initial defeat against Dallas in a close five-game series, their momentum suddenly disappeared as their dominance wasn’t as close as we expected in the ultimate stage.<\/p>\n

At first, Toronto Ultra managed to rise with a hard fought victory, although they couldn’t handle everything their opponents were saving, as Atlanta would win three straight rounds to take the advantage.<\/p>\n

Afterwards, both teams interspersed rounds with Toronto almost having the tie by putting the score at 4-3, but at the end Atlanta would be the ones who succeed by taking the last point on Hardpoint and Apocalypse, in a more than unstoppable performance worthy of a champion.<\/p>\n

After his impressive plays during the year, Simp took over the season’s MVP renewing his legacy as one of the best players of all time, while the so-called “first blood king” aBeZy with his K\/D results and utility in Express Search and Destroy, received the Playoffs’ MVP award.<\/p>\n

With this win, not only Arcitys, aBeZy and Simp have won their second Champs, and Cellium his first, it also cements a new dynasty in the CoD scene, which before its next cycle in Call of Duty: Vanguard<\/a>, has seen the rise of Atlanta FaZe as the best in the world, taking the trophy and the 1.2 million USD prize to home.<\/p>\n
