Minnesota Rokkr Lost In Heart Breaking Fashion In Front Of One Of The Loudest Home Crowds I've Ever Heard

You can't script a more heart breaking matchup than Rokkr losing in round one of their own Home Major. After a tough qualifying session, they were given the #9 seed - thus starting in the loser's bracket. After OpTic got swept by Seattle Surge in a wild upset, it left Rokkr to face off against one of the best teams in competitive Call of Duty. Ridiculous unlucky, but that's gaming + the madness of Major events.

OpTic went on to win the series 3-1, but the true story was how deafening the crowd was. 

The Minnesota Rokkr are a relatively newer CDL team - they haven't been around in gaming forever like FaZe or OpTic Gaming. So for them to have so much brand loyalty and a crowd that could rival OpTic Texas is truly astounding.

This isn't the end for the Rokkr boys, I have full faith they could pick it back up and end the season on a high note - but right now, they can't seem to get the right mix and chemistry going.

LAT vs NYSL

LAT came into the Major has the team most out of form - they couldn't get a series win to save their life and everything seemed to be falling apart after a great start to the season. After the first two maps, that looked the exact same way as they went down 0-2 against the Subliners. Then after a ridiculous clutch to win Map 3, they had the momentum on their side and took it right to NYSL and ultimately reverse swept NYSL against all odds.

After the Minnesota/OpTic series, LAG faced off against NYSL and pulled off a big time upset to beat NYSL and advance into tomorrow's action.

Spart - one of the best stories during this Major - gives his thoughts on the Volk meta and competing at Major II:

Today, we have 5 more matches and the chaos won't be stopping anytime soon.
