Who Will Win COD Champs 2025?
The season that we’ve had thus far suggests that the LA Thieves will easily take the trophy in Canada at the CDL Championship 2025 event. The ‘Super Team’ in LA Thieves claimed the top spot at both Major III and Major IV, and is coming into COD Champs with white-hot momentum after a stunning, record-setting season.
Scrap, Envoy, Ghosty, and HyDra stand the best chance of lifting the trophy at this year’s Call of Duty League Championship, and it looks like the only team that could give them any competition is Atlanta FaZe – as usual.
It’ll be a close match, but here are my best COD Champs predictions:
1st. LA Thieves
2nd. Atlanta FaZe
3rd. Miami Heretics
