Champs on the Horizon | BP Power Rankings | 7.5.26

With Paris Major IV in the books and just Champs in Las Vegas left on the Call of Duty League calendar, it finally feels like it’s reached its endgame. The middle of the table has taken a real switch-up, with the Paris LAN showing a clear gap between the top teams and the rest of the field.

Below that top tier, the chaos hasn’t gone anywhere. Form swings, late‑stage roster moves, and Paris breakout performances have scrambled the middle of the league, turning every potential Champs bracket into a minefield for favorites and dark horses alike. With less than two weeks until Vegas, this is the last checkpoint before everything is decided in the playoffs. Here’s how all 12 CDL teams stack up in our latest Breaking Point Power Rankings coming out of Major IV and heading straight into Champs.

How the teams are ranked: The writers, stats team, and Dope Check talent at Breaking Point were polled to rate each of the 12 teams after the Major IV tournament. Each ranks the teams 1st through 12th. After collecting the rankings from the BP team, each team would be given points for each vote, as seen below:

1st – 12 points
2nd – 11 points
3rd – 10 points
4th – 9 points
5th – 8 points
6th – 7 points
7th – 6 points
8th – 5 points
9th – 4 points
10th – 3 points
11th – 2 points
12th – 1 point
