Boston Breach have been very up-and-down this season, and they lost both of their matches last weekend. While the Breach forced Ultra to five maps, they looked toothless against Cloud9 New York, highlighting just how inconsistent they can be.
Things will not get any easier for Boston on Friday. The Vancouver Surge are on a three-game winning streak after beating Atlanta FaZe, Cloud9 New York, and LA Guerrillas M8, although they have shown some weaknesses through that run — namely on Protocol and Search & Destroy.
Nevertheless, Jovan “04” Rodriguez and co. are in great form, and while they have some cracks, Boston Breach are not good enough to exploit them.

OPTIC TEXAS vs VEGAS FALCONS CDL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |

| Best Odds: | OpTic $1.06 at GG Bet | Falcons $8.00 at William Hill |

Vegas Falcons have yet to taste victory this season, and it is hard to imagine that changing anytime soon. Priced as $8.00 underdogs with the top CoD betting sites, Vegas Falcons are expected to struggle against OpTic Texas.
That said, OpTic enter the CDL 2025 Stage 2 Minor on a four-game losing streak, which includes two 0-3 losses against Minnesota R?KKR and Carolina Royal Ravens last weekend. As much as it is hard to doubt this lineup of players, it is concerning that OpTic have yet to win a map this stage.
This is more of a bet against OpTic Texas than anything else. At $1.67, Vegas Falcons to steal a map is a generous offer.
Vegas Falcons +2.5 maps
MINNESOTA R?KKR vs CLOUD9 NEW YORK CDL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| Best Odds: | R?KKR $2.20 at Betway | C9NY $1.62 at GG Bet |

Cloud9 New York started the second CDL 2025 split with a few promising results, beating Toronto Ultra, Vegas Falcons, and Boston Breach. Three 3-0 sweeps do not take away form C9NY’s rough showings in CDL 2025 Stage 1, but they have shown clear improvement.
Minnesota R?KKR have also done some good things lately, with 3-0 wins against Miami Heretics, OpTic Texas, and Vegas Falcons. Their respawns need some work, but the R?KKR are very good on Search & Destroy, which could be a big factor in Friday’s affair.
Cloud9 New York’s recent resurgence is promising, but Justice “Estreal” McMillan and co. have been more consistent and are a better S&D team. At outsider odds, Minnesota R?KKR are hard to pass on.

MIAMI HERETICS vs LOS ANGELES GUERRILLAS M8 CDL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| Best Odds: | Heretics $1.53 at William Hill | LAGM $2.38 at BetOnline |
| When: | February 28, 2025 | 16:30 PST |

Los Angeles Guerrillas M8 lost to Miami Heretics and Vancouver Surge last weekend. Despite the arrival of Noah “Lunarz” Whillock, the Guerrillas failed to show any improvement — especially on Search & Destroy, which is by far their worst game mode.
Even on a lot of respawn maps, Los Angeles Guerrillas M8 do not seem to be on the same page, suggesting there are deeper issues that a single roster change will not fix.
Miami Heretics ran over Los Angeles Guerrillas M8 last Friday, and while they have not been very consistent this season, it is hard to doubt their chances to defeat LAGM8 again.
