Stage Five will be considered as the final set of games being played while moving into the final Major and ultimately being the Call of Duty champs 2021. Since Stage Five is marked to be the last set, it also means that it is the last opportunity for the teams to earn the highly envied CDL Points to complete in the top eight of the standings. This will help them to qualify for the end-of-season playoffs.

Stage Four was completed last month with the Atlanta FaZe winning their third Major of the season. Achieving this victory, Atlanta was able to secure the No.1 overall seed heading into Call of Duty Champs 2021. But the rest of the teams who are in the league have a lot to play in Stage Five. At the same time, FaZe is headed to complete a three-peat.

Stage Five will start with all the 12 CDL franchises divided into two groups. Over the three weeks, all the teams will have to play five online group play matches to decide their seeding for the double-elimination Major which will be held at the end of July. Stage Five Major will be held on LAN just like we had in Stage Four. This will be held at Esports Stadium Arlington, Texas. Also, this time the fans are allowed to attend the events and cheer for their favorite players from the stands.


When the online group play comes to an end, the top three rosters in each group will get a spot in the winners' bracket of the Stage Five Major. And the bottom three squads in every group will start the double-elimination tournament in the losers bracket.

Although, in the past few weeks we could not see major changes in the roster by any team when there was a break between previous stages. This time there will be the biggest change in the roster from Los Angeles Thieves signing 2016 world champion John. Also, 22-time Gears of War champion MentaL will be making his debut in Stage Five, replacing Cheen in the Los Angeles Guerrillas roster.
