There's no doubt how talented Atlanta FaZe is. From top to bottom, they arguably have the best roster in the Call of Duty League. They went 1-1 on the first weekend of the Major 4 Qualifiers, so why are there so many questions around them?

Once known as a dominant SnD that couldn't be beaten has shown that they're not as immortal as everyone thought. Their respawn game hasn't been up to par, proving they can't only rely on SnD. 

New York took them to a game five and beat them on Asilo SnD, a map FaZe could fall back on as an almost Guaranteed win. FaZe fell in round 11 and had to answer questions leading up to their next match against the Florida Mutineers. 

But the questions continued to arise after Florida beat them in round 11 of Embassy SnD and took FaZe to a game five. After the Minnesota RØkkr dominated Florida, no one thought they would match up well against FaZe. But they did just that, and many are asking how good FaZe really is.

FaZe went 3-3 in respawn and 2-2 in SnD. Those aren't the results we've been accustomed to seeing from them, especially playing against teams that are supposed to be superior to them. 

They'll look for a big regain next weekend when they take on Toronto Ultra on Saturday. Toronto has found its own struggles following a Major 3 Championship, dropping games to Boston Breach and Seattle Surge, both in five games. This match will be telling signs of how each team is trending.
