There is a new bracket each week. Each matchup is a best-of-five series. Once the teams get to the semifinals, it is single-elimination, also best-of-five.

Week 11 Bracket
Group A
Round 1 (Friday, June 12)
Paris Legion vs Toronto Ultra (4:00 pm ET)
We have two teams that failed to make it into the money last week when Paris takes on Toronto. Toronto did snag ten points from coming in sixth, while Paris came in seventh. The week before, Paris was off while Toronto finished dead last. Then in Week 9, it was Paris in last while Toronto had the week off. Given that this is a battle of two bottom-feeders, I’m not putting a ton of money down, but since Toronto had the better Week 10, I’m taking them here.
- Call of Duty Prediction: Toronto wins
Atlanta FaZe vs Los Angeles Guerrillas (7:00 pm ET)
In Week 8, the Guerrillas came in third place, snagging 20 points, while Atlanta had the week off. In Week 9, Atlanta came in second, while the Guerrillas finished third once again. Week 10 saw Atlanta come in second once again while the Guerrillas had the week off. This should be a great match between two of the top teams…but I like Atlanta to win.
- Call of Duty Prediction: Atlanta wins
Group B
Round 1 (Friday, July 10)
London Royal Ravens vs Chicago Huntsmen (5:30 pm ET)
In Week 10, London snagged ten points with a fifth-place finish while Chicago had the week off. In Week 9, London had the bye while Chicago grabbed ten points for coming in sixth. Week 8 featured a first-place finish for Chicago, while London came in second. This match is too close to call, but since Chicago bested London in the title game for Week 8, I see London reversing that and getting revenge.
- Call of Duty Prediction: London wins
New York Subliners vs Minnesota RØKKR (8:30 pm ET)
In Week 8, Minnesota came in sixth place, two slots behind New York. In Week 9, the RØKKR came in seventh while New York had the week off. In Week 10, New York finished third, while Minnesota had a bye. New York has had the better results lately, so give me the Subliners.
- Call of Duty Prediction: New York wins
