OpTic Texas Makes History by Winning Call of Duty Champs 2025: Full Event Recap

The Call of Duty League season for 2025 has officially come to an end. The Championship Weekend was hosted by Toronto Ultra, bringing together the best teams to compete for the title. This article covers everything that happened during the event, including who won and how the matches played out.

For most of the Black Ops 6 season, the competition seemed to be a two-team race. Atlanta FaZe and LA Thieves were the dominant forces, each winning two of the four major tournaments held throughout the year. However, OpTic Texas had a different plan for the end of the season. They managed to surge forward at the perfect moment, winning CoD Champs 2025. This victory is especially impressive considering OpTic had one of the worst season starts in their organization’s history.

With this win, OpTic Texas has achieved something truly special. They won the championship in 2024, and now they have won again in 2025. This makes them the very first organization in the history of the Call of Duty League to win back-to-back titles. Below is the full schedule and recap of how OpTic made their way to this championship victory.

They won the third map to take the lead again. In the fourth map, OpTic closed out the series with a decisive victory.

This win capped off an incredible comeback story for OpTic Texas. After a rough start to the season, they peaked at the right time to win the biggest tournament of the year. Their victory at CoD Champs 2025 solidifies their place as one of the greatest teams in Call of Duty history.
