Minnesota RØKKR vs Cloud9 New York Predictions

Minnesota RØKKR and Cloud9 New York will face off in the first round of Call of Duty League (CDL) Stage 2 Minor on Friday, February 28, in what should be a competitive series between two squads who have shown some improvement lately.

Both squads have looked great in CDL 2025 Stage 2, and they’re both trending in the right direction. But as Minnesota RØKKR and Cloud9 New York have had a rougher start to the year, so we have to see more from them before making any conclusions.

This looks like a coin-flip game at best, as it is hard to draw a clear line between the RØKKR and Cloud9.

Head to Head

Minnesota RØKKR last met with Cloud9 New York during CDL 2025 Stage 1 Major, when they won in four maps.

Minnesota RØKKR Form

Minnesota RØKKR are 3-1 from their last four games. They lost to Carolina Royal Ravens (0-3) but bested Miami Heretics (3-1), OpTic Texas (3-0), and Vegas Falcons (3-0).

Those are promising results, but I would like to see them continue on this run before I can tag them as a good team. On a more positive note, Minnesota RØKKR do well on all three game modes, so they do not have any clear weaknesses.

Some may argue that Minnesota RØKKR are an average team, but they’re definitely closer to the line of breaking into the group of “good” teams than the other way around.

Cloud9 New York Form

Cloud9 New York looked very rough early into the season. But they’ve recently found serious momentum.

Last weekend, they took down Boston Breach (3-0) and Vegas Falcons (3-0) after crushing Toronto Ultra (3-0) and losing one series against the Surge (2-3). It’s been a great split for Cloud9 New York, who look like an entirely different team.

They seem to have improved across all three game modes, and there is a noticeable improvement in the individual outputs of the players. It seems like Cloud9 New York have cracked the code, but much like Minnesota RØKKR, they have to keep playing at this level for a while longer.

Verdict

Minnesota RØKKR v Cloud9 New York

It is hard to pick a favourite in this match, as both Cloud9 New York and Minnesota RØKKR have been improving, and they both looked good in the first part of CDL 2025 Stage 2. While Cloud9 arguably have a higher ceiling due to the star names on the roster, it should not be viewed as the superior team just yet.

This is a 50/50 match, so I would much rather be on the side of Minnesota RØKKR at outsider odds.
