?London Royal Ravens made semi-finals in the first CDL Major of the season, yet they’re +275 underdogs against Los Angeles Thieves, who crashed out in fifth-sixth place. That’s not too shocking, knowing that the Thieves performed well and their last match was a narrow 2-3 defeat against Atlanta FaZe. Furthermore, London Royal Ravens will be without Joey “Gismo” Owen, who is out for two weeks.

In his place, the Ravens will field Paul “PaulEhx” Avila, who is a downgrade, but he is good enough to carry his weight. So assuming PaulEhx can step up and be at least serviceable, the London squad should do just fine until they get back Gismo.

Obviously, London Royal Ravens will have a tougher time beating Los Angeles Thieves without their star player, but they have enough solid pieces to be just as competitive as they were so far. At +125 with a map handicap, it’s hard to pass on London Royal Ravens.

MINNESOTA R?KKR vs TORONTO ULTRA CDL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Best Odds: R?KKR +125 at BetOnline | Ultra -175.44 at BetOnline

Minnesota R?KKR could only manage a top-eight finish in the first CDL Major, where they only won against Los Angeles Guerrillas (3-0). Even in the qualifiers, R?KKR left a lot to be desired, with two wins against the Guerrillas and the disorganised OpTic Texas.

The 2021 CDL silver-medalists, Toronto Ultra, have yet to find their footing this season, but this is still a talented team. They placed sixth in CDL Major 1 Qualifier (3-2) and even took down the Thieves in the first round of the Major before they had to admit defeat to London Royal Ravens (1-3) and Boston Breach (2-3).

Although Ultra’s results are not too convincing, they are not getting enough respect on the betting market. This is the same roster that nearly won the CDL crown last season, and even though they are still shaky, their ceiling is significantly higher than R?KKR’s. Moreover, R?KKR have yet to produce a clean game this season and don’t come off as a team that can upset Ultra.
