Seattle Surge nearly achieved a breakthrough match against top team Atlanta FaZe, yet their winning momentum was stunted by technical issues and a deadly play from McArthur “Cellium” Jovel.<\/p>\n

On the opening day of the Call of Duty League’s Minnesota ROKKR Home Series<\/a>, the match between Seattle Surge and Atlanta FaZe was expected to be an easy win for the latter – with Seattle placed near the bottom of the standings with only 40 points. <\/p>\n

For the first two games however on Hardpoint and Search and Destroy, Seattle managed to defy expectations – going up 2-0 against one of the best teams in the Call of Duty League. <\/p>\n

When momentum appeared on their side however, the entire Call of Duty League production went down due to technical issues connected to the online format – delaying the rest of the match for 45 minutes. <\/p>\n

    Concerns this could defuse Seattle Surge’s winning streak weren’t unfounded either – with Atlanta FaZe<\/a> managing to pull off a reverse sweep to win 3-2. <\/p>\n

    The final Search and Destroy round was especially close. It went all the way to eleven rounds, with FaZe’s Cellium managing to pull off a winning play mere seconds before Seattle Surge’s Sam “Octane” Larew could plant the bomb. <\/p>\n
