OpTic Texas Beats LA Thieves In Revenge Mission to Win CDL Major 4
OpTic Texas claimed their first major championship of the season at CDL Major 4 in Paris, France, defeating LA Thieves in the grand finals. The victory marks a revenge win for OpTic, who had previously fallen to the same opponent in a prior Major final.
The tournament was historic for the Call of Duty League, drawing the largest LAN crowd in COD esports history to Paris—a demonstration of the competitive scene’s capacity to draw massive audiences when hosted in regions with strong esports infrastructure and fan bases. The Championship Sunday finals featured the season’s top four teams competing for their share of a $365,000 prize pool, with OpTic securing the lion’s share of the winnings.
As the reigning world champions, OpTic’s Major 4 victory represents a significant milestone for the organization heading into CDL Champs in Las Vegas, capping off what had been a challenging season prior to this breakthrough performance. The win underscores the high level of competition within the league and solidifies OpTic’s position among the elite teams as the season progresses.
