🗓️ Opening Round — June 26, 2025 (All Times EST)
📍 3:00 PM — Los Angeles Thieves vs Boston Breach
LA brings experience and composure into Champs, led by a veteran core with proven stage presence. But Boston enters with momentum and mechanical firepower. Watch for aggressive pacing in early Hardpoints — and who wins opening duels on tighter maps like Embassy or Mercado.
📍 4:30 PM — Vancouver Surge vs Miami Heretics
This series is a stylistic clash. Vancouver leans tactical; Miami thrives in controlled chaos. Heretics’ duo, Hydra and Scrap, have been top performers all season in K/D — but Surge has quietly maintained some of the league’s most balanced statlines.
📍 6:00 PM — Atlanta FaZe vs OpTic Texas
The headliner of Round 1. FaZe’s hyper-coordinated slaying unit takes on OpTic’s raw firepower and S&D depth. This is not just a rivalry — it's a battle of statistical juggernauts. Expect breakout moments in Control, where K/D swings heavily impact round momentum.
📍 7:30 PM — Toronto Ultra vs Carolina Royal Ravens
Ultra’s clinical execution meets a revitalized Ravens roster. While Toronto has been consistent in team K/D across all respawn modes, Carolina’s unpredictability makes them dangerous. Ultra’s performance on Fortress and Hotel could determine early control of the series.
