Call of Duty League coaches poll: Another homestand, another champion

Just when you thought you knew exactly where the Call of Duty League teams stood, the Los Angeles Call of Duty happened to introduce a bit of chaos. The previously invincible Atlanta FaZe lost to a Minnesota ROKKR team that seems to be showing steady improvement. After losing 3-2 to the FaZe in Atlanta two weeks ago, the ROKKR flipped the script and beat the FaZe 3-2 to reach the L.A. homestand final. That's where they lost to the Dallas Empire, a team that sort of flew under the radar as the Empire were neither favored nor a dark horse pick to win it all in Los Angeles. Then you have the previously winless OpTic Gaming Los Angeles finally showing how good they can be, with two wins, including a 3-0 over Minnesota.

Amid all this, OpTic Gaming made one of the biggest jumps in the poll this season, and both Dallas and Minnesota moved in this week's poll.
