Welcome to episode #227 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!We have finally made it to the end of the CDL main season. Champs is this week, and we finally get to see a conclusion to the season-long battle between FaZe and Thieves…assuming they are both in the grand finals. That being said, the hype and promotion for COD Champs has not been anywhere near the level you would expect for the biggest event of the year. We share our opinions on why this is the case, and give our opinions on what we think the CDL could do to be giving constant content during this long break we have been on. Finally, we close with our final bracket predictions, and give our case as to why we think we have the perfect bracket for the tournament. What do you think is going on with the lack of CDL promotion? Does the CDL care, or do you think it's just something they need to work on for next year? What do you think of our bracket? Do you agree or disagree? What do you think is going to be the outcome of this year's COD Champs? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more!

Welcome to episode #224 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!In this episode, Major 4 has concluded, and the battle for champs is ahead. Following our predictions in the previous episode, we cover the actual results, and the biggest takeaways from the major. We had lots of surprising upsets that sealed their fates for making champs, and some who have made serious strides in the potential of making a deep run at champs. With Thieves taking the win, and now being tied with FaZe 2-2 in major wins this year, we have a serious battle for who is the superior team, and with their current performance they most likely will return to grand finals. Finally, we end with the discussion of Attach announcing his retirement from professional COD, and we cover the legacy that he leaves behind, and the path that is ahead for him.Do you think it will be a FaZe and Thieves rematch at champs? If so, who do you think is winning it all? Who is your dark horse team going into champs? Finally, what do you think is next for Attach? Did he retire too early, or was the timing right?
