Ranking Every CDL Roster Ahead of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 - Full Tier List
What's up, Call of Duty fans! With the rumored rosters for every CDL team now out in the open, it's time to dive into an early look at how the competitive landscape for Black Ops 7 is shaping up. This is your pre-season guide to which squads are looking elite, which have something to prove, and which might be in for a long year.
We'll go roster by roster, analyzing chemistry, experience, and star potential to build out an early tier list-from the unstoppable to the underdogs. Let's jump right in.
S Tier - The Unstoppables
OpTic Gaming
There's no debate here-OpTic belongs alone at the top. They closed out the BO6 season looking nearly unbeatable, with back-to-back wins at Champs and EWC. The chemistry, confidence, and consistency of this roster make them the clear favorite heading into Black Ops 7. With no changes made, their synergy and momentum should carry right into the new title. Until proven otherwise, OpTic is the gold standard.
Los Angeles Thieves
Right below OpTic-but still flirting with S-tier potential-is the new-look Thieves lineup. Kenny and Azy join Hydra and Scrappy, giving LA one of the scariest mechanical teams on paper. Their blend of aggression and slaying power makes them capable of winning any matchup. The only question: can they match OpTic's consistency across a full season? If they click early, this team could easily challenge for the #1 spot.
A Tier - Contenders on the Rise
Vegas FaZe
The most controversial rebrand of the offseason might actually be one of the smartest. Drazah, Simp, 04, and Abuza form a well-balanced roster with leadership, pacing, and firepower. Abuza and 04 reached nearly every grand final last year, while Simp remains a generational talent. Yes, there are questions about consistency-but when they're clicking, FaZe looks every bit like a championship contender.
B Tier - High Ceiling, Low Floor
Miami Heretics
Losing Real hurts, but bringing in rookie Trace gives this team a fresh dynamic. With Medals, Super, and Renor returning, Miami retains most of its strong BO6 core. Expect them to hover around mid-table early, but if Trace adjusts quickly, they could surprise people.
Gentle Mates
Ghosty, Envoy, Neptune, and Cib make up a squad with massive potential-but also volatility. Each player has shown elite peaks and occasional off-games, which means their results could swing wildly week to week. They have S-tier upside, but until proven otherwise, they're a strong B-tier bet.
Toronto Koi
Koi looks dangerous heading into the new season. JoeDeceives and Real form a lightning-fast SMG duo, Kleenex transitions into a hybrid flex role, and Insight brings structure and composure. The balance of slaying and discipline gives them one of the most well-rounded rosters in the league. Expect frequent Sunday appearances.
C Tier - Capable but Inconsistent
Boston Breach
After an up-and-down year that still saw a third-place Champs finish, Boston retools slightly by swapping Awakening for Nasty. The trio of Cammy, Snoopy, and Purge stays intact, keeping their chemistry alive. On paper, this team can beat anyone-but they can also lose to anyone. Expect another rollercoaster season.
Atlanta Falcons
Selium, Kismet, Exod, and PR form an intriguing lineup. There's undeniable talent here, but chemistry and consistency could be issues early on. They'll flash brilliance but likely struggle to maintain it across multiple events.
D Tier - The Rebuild Zone
Carolina Royal Ravens
Nero joins as a flex alongside rookies Craze and Lurks with veteran Slasher leading as main AR. The youth movement could pay off long-term, but growing pains are almost guaranteed. If the rookies explode onto the scene like past standouts Hercules or Renor, this ranking could change fast-but for now, they start near the bottom.
Cloud9 New York
Beans, Afro, Mac, and Vivid bring together an odd mix of playstyles. Afro is the X-factor-if he has an MVP-caliber season, Cloud9 could outperform expectations. Still, without a clear star duo, it's tough to project much beyond flashes of mid-table potential.
G2 Minnesota
Skies, Estreal, Kremp, and Mamba each bring individual skill, but together this roster feels like a puzzle with mismatched pieces. Unless Mamba emerges as a breakout star, G2 is likely headed for early roster changes and a tough debut year.
Vancouver Surge
Featuring Gwyn, Abe, Luners, and Halo convert Legend, this team has potential but too many unknowns. Legend's transition from Halo to COD will be crucial-if he adapts fast, Vancouver might climb out of D-tier. If not, growing pains will define their season.
Final Thoughts
As Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 nears launch, these rosters will evolve-and so will expectations. The S-tier might look unbeatable now, but one patch, one meta shift, or one breakout rookie can change everything.
For now, OpTic sits comfortably at the top, the Thieves are breathing down their necks, and teams like FaZe, Koi, and the Heretics are poised to shake things up.
Once the season kicks off, the grind begins-and that's when we'll find out which of these squads truly belongs among the best in Black Ops 7.
