Miami Heretics vs Los Angeles Guerrillas M8 Predictions

Los Angeles Guerrillas M8 will face off against Miami Heretics in the second week of Call of Duty League (CDL) 2025 Stage 2 Major Qualifiers, when LAGM8 will debut their newest addition, Lunarz, who joined the team as a replacement for Priestahh.

One change likely will not help Los Angeles Guerrillas M8 improve massively, but they might do better with Lunarz, especially on Search & Destroy, which is an area they have struggled the most. Miami Heretics do not seem like a team that have been struggling, as they placed third at Major 1, but the eye test proves they are not very stable.

It is not too surprising to see Miami Heretics priced as favourites for this match, but based on their recent showings, the Heretics will not have an easy time.

Head to Head

Miami Heretics and Los Angeles Guerrillas M8 have yet to meet this season.

Miami Heretics Form

Miami Heretics got top three at CDL 2025 Stage 1 Major but had a rough start to Major 2 qualifiers, with a 1-3 loss against Minnesota RØKKR. Apparently, the players were sick on the day, but the Heretics have not looked great this season despite their success at Major 1.

In most of their games, Miami Heretics looked very shaky, and most of their wins seemed lucky. A bit of an enigma of a team, and considering their showings in the first online stage, it is more than fair to question whether Miami Heretics can live up to the expectations they’ve set for themselves after a deep Major run.

Los Angeles Guerrillas M8 Form

Los Angeles Guerrillas M8 got last at CDL 2025 Stage 1 Major and lost (2-3) to Boston Breach in the first match of CDL 2025 Stage 2 Major Qualifiers. After a tough start to the season, managing just two wins from 10 games, the Guerrillas opted to make a roster change and brought in Lunarz as a replacement for Priestahh.

While roster changes were expected, one change does not seem enough for the Guerrillas to improve massively, but they could do better on Search & Destroy, where they are 3-6, with a positive win rate on just Skyline.

Lunarz is a solid addition, but he is not an elite AR player, so it is fair to feel doubtful about the potential improvement Los Angeles Guerrillas M8 might show with the new lineup.

Los Angeles Guerrillas M8 benched Preston "Priestahh" Greiner and brought in Noah "Lunarz" Whillock as his replacement.

Verdict

Miami Heretics v Los Angeles Guerrillas M8

Miami Heretics might appear as an obvious pick due to their deep run at CDL 2025 Stage 1 Major. However, they have not looked good online and in most of their past wins, the Heretics seemed a bit too shaky to believe they would dominate on Friday.

Los Angeles Guerrillas M8 are also a bit of an enigma as they’ve yet to play a match with their newest addition. However, while it is unclear how Lunarz will fit in with the team, Los Angeles Guerrillas M8 should improve, and if they can find more traction on S&D, they should do just fine against Miami Heretics.

This will be a competitive game.
