LA Thieves beat Atlanta FaZe to win maiden Call of Duty League Championship
The Los Angeles Thieves beat Atlanta FaZe 5-2 at the Call of Duty League Championship finals to take home their first ever CoD League Championship and took home the grand prize of $1.2 million. It was quite the turnaround for the Thieves, who at one point, were at the risk of missing the playoffs early on due to a host of inconsistent performance but when it mattered most, at the Major Four, the Thieves stood up and bagged the trophy. In the Grand Finals, the Thieves got a map veto advantage as a result of qualifying through the upper bracket. They started off with Gavutu Hardpoint and Control and were untouchable on Hardpoint. While they won on Gavutu Control and Tuscan Hardpoint, FaZe managed to avoid a complete whitewash by winning Bocage Search and Destroy. LA Thieves won Berlin Control to go 4-2 up and in the final match on Tuscan Search and Destroy, the Thieves fought tooth and nail to make sure FaZe couldn't mount a comeback.
