Toronto Ultra was the last team to break through the 300-point mark regarding the 2023 CDL Regular Season, beating Los Angeles Thieves by 20 points for the 4^th seed of Champs. They had a very successful year, as their worst placing in a Major was top 6, and they managed to get 2 4^th places. Their greatest accomplishment was the Stage 3 Major victory, where they demolished OpTic Texas in the Finals 4-2 after beating everyone in the Upper Bracket.

However, Los Angeles Thieves won it all last year when they defeated Atlanta FaZe in the Championship finals. They couldn’t really live up to the hype they received at the start of the season, as LAT finished in the top 6 at the Stage 1 Major. Later, they made it to the finals of Stage 2, where they face FaZe again, but couldn’t slay the giant that time around. After a weaker Stage 3, Kenny and co. stepped their game up and crushed the entirety of Stage 4, winning the Major Finals against OpTic Texas. While they had some great performances, they weren’t consistent, so they only finished 5^th in the regular season.

While Toronto Ultra ranked higher than LAT, the Thieves don’t have as much of a disadvantage as it seems. However, when you look at the head-to-head of the teams, you can see that Toronto won 4 out 5 clashes against LA – can Kenny and co. step up to defend their title?
