CDL London Home Series won by Dallas Empire

This past weekend, Dallas Empire took down Paris Legion to win Call of Duty League London Home Series. As the second to last event for the CDL main season, there was a lot riding on this event.

Paris Legion attracted the eyes of fans by surprising the community and reaching Call of Duty League London Home Series finals. Unfortunately for Paris Legion, the team’s story ended when playing against Dallas Empire in finals. Dallas won its third event of the season by sweeping Paris Legion 3-0.

Hackney Yard Hardpoint and Gun Runner Search and Destroy ended poorly for Paris Legion. On Gun Runner Domination, Paris was ahead at halftime thanks to strong plays from Zach “Zed” Denyer. But Dallas soon controlled two flags, resulting in a Dallas Empire victory with a 167-134 score. Dallas previously lost to Paris during the tournament once, proving that the team thought through its counterattack, winning when it really counted.
