Toronto Ultra, the Canadian Call of Duty League (CDL) team featuring several UK players, finished in the top three at the Call of Duty (CoD) Major 3 earlier this month.

They lost their first match of the live LAN tournament 3-1 to Atlanta FaZe, before going on a solid run in the lower bracket. They beat Paris Legion 3-1, Minnesota RØKKR 3-0, Florida Mutineers 3-0 and LA Thieves 3-1.

Toronto Ultra were eventually beaten 3-2 by Atlanta FaZe in the lower bracket final, who went on to face the eventual champions of the tournament, Seattle Surge.

Surge defeated FaZe 5-3 in the grand final to lift the trophy and take the $200,000 first place prize money, while FaZe took home $120,000 as runners-up and Toronto Ultra claimed $80,000.

Toronto Ultra enjoyed the support of the home crowd at the major, which took place at the Mattamy Athletic Centre in Toronto.

Toronto Ultra’s players include England’s Bance, Insight and Hicksy (sub), Scotland’s Cammy, Denmark’s CleanX and the USA’s Scrappy (sub).

Back in May, Esports News UK spoke with Toronto Ultra UK CoD talent on playing in front of a live crowd in Canada for the first time. Several players had friends and family fly out from the UK to Canada to watch the team perform live on stage.

We’ve rounded up some of the reaction from the players after the latest Major here:

Earlier this year, London Royal Ravens reached top three at CoD League 2022 Major One, which was won by Optic Texas, and Major Two was won by the LA Guerrillas.

The Ravens are currently fourth in the 2022 CoD League with 150 points, while Toronto Ultra are fifth with 140 points.

Toronto Ultra’s parent company Overactive Media (which also operates the Mad Lions and Toronto Defiant teams) also has a partnership with Team Singularity for its CoD Challengers teams.
