Due to the massive prize money offered during the CDL Finals 2020, the top four teams of the championship earned maximum money this year. Dallas Empire, who ranked first, are at the top with their $1.5 million prize, and have earned a total of $1,720,000 this year. As both Atlanta FaZe and Dallas Empire were dominating the first Call of Duty League, they secured the first two places.
Los Angeles Guerrillas and Seattle Surge rank at the bottom of the table, having earned $10,000 each. As per Dexerto, their earning per player are apparently less than what Sam ‘Octane’ Larew was fined in the first season. London Royal Ravens, despite having won only three games, finished in the top four with a cash prize of $500,000 to their name after the CDL playoffs.

Cuyler "Huke" Garland and Ian "Crimsix" Porter dominated the CDL Finals 2020 run for Dallas Empire as they overpowered FaZe's team with their kill-streaks. During their interview with The Dallas Morning News after the finals, Porter stated that he had always believed that their team would win, achieving something significant.
