FaZe Vegas, the Miami Heretics and the Riyadh Falcons picked up wins Sunday to wrap up Week 2 of Call of Duty League 2026: Stage 1 Major qualifiers.
Vegas took down Toronto KOI 3-2, Miami did the same to Cloud9 New York and Riyadh defeated the Boston Breach 3-1. The losses by Toronto and Boston mean that OpTic Texas is the only team still undefeated through two weeks.
A group of 12 teams will play seven matches during qualifying, each win earning them 10 CDL points. While all 12 qualify for Major 1, Jan. 29-Feb. 1 in Dallas, the results will determine whether teams begin the major in the upper or lower bracket.
On Sunday, Toronto took the early lead on Vegas with a 250-231 win on Exposure Hardpoint, but Vegas answered by squeaking out a 6-5 win on Den Search and Destroy. Toronto notched a 5-4 result on Exposure Overload only for Vegas to steamroll its way to a 250-72 win on Colossus Hardpoint.
The final map was Scar Search and Destroy, where FaZe prevailed 6-4.
Miami and New York went back and forth in similar fashion. The Heretics won 250-154 on Exposure Hardpoint, fell 6-3 on Den Search and Destroy, prevailed 4-1 on Den Overload, lost 250-165 on Scar Hardpoint and finally triumphed 6-3 on Scar Search and Destroy.
The Breach opened with a 250-233 win on Exposure Hardpoint, but the Falcons swept the next three maps: 6-1 on Scar Search and Destroy, 4-3 on Exposure Overload and 250-233 on Colossus Hardpoint.
The qualifiers will take a pause for the holidays and Week 3 will begin Jan. 9.
