A 6-5 win on Checkmate Search and Destroy evened up the series and seemed to be a major turning point in the matchup.

On Raid Search and Destroy, a map Atlanta lost to Toronto a few hours earlier, FaZe decimated New York in seven rounds. https://twitter.com/CODLeague/status/1394096466625454081?s20 The tournament victory extends FaZe's lead over the rest of the league in CDL Points.
