CDL Toronto highlights
While Toronto Ultra were far from the favourites to snatch the win, they did start the Home Series with 3-2 win over OpTic Gaming Los Angeles. This was followed by another 3-2 win over Chicago Huntsmen in the Qualifier match. In the semifinals, Ultra cruised past Dallas Empire with a 3-1 win before upsetting Atlanta Faze in the Finals.
Faze, who hadn't lost a single match up until the finals, were stunned in Game 1 when they lost to Ultra at Gun Runner Hardpoint. The five-game series eventually came down to the last game where Toronto’s Methodz finished the tournament off with a crucial late kill. Ultra won 6-5 at St. Petrograd Search and Destroy to cap off the fine run in the Home Series.
