The 2025 Call of Duty League (CDL) Championship marks the fifth time the franchised league will determine its eventual champion. This year’s event takes place in Kitchener, Canada, marking the first time the biggest event in the Call of Duty esports calendar has occurred outside of the United States.

Boston Breach will compete in its third Champs since joining the CDL in 2021. After overhauling its roster in 2024, the franchise has a chance to make an unprecedented run to championship glory.

Esports Insider sheds light on Boston Breach’s eventful regular season and its chances of impacting the season’s final Call of Duty League LAN event.

Boston Breach Current Roster

Below are the players representing Boston Breach at Championship Weekend: 

  • Eric ‘Snoopy’ Pérez Lozano
  • Cameron ‘Cammy’ McKilligan
  • Joseph ‘Owakening’ Conley
  • Evan ‘Purj’ Perez

Like several players competing in the CDL, Snoopy rose through the ranks competing in Challengers while representing Boston Breach’s academy roster. Regular top-eight finishes in online Elite competitions, followed up by a third place at the 2023 Toronto Open, saw the Mexican promoted to the main roster for the 2023 CDL Championship, resulting in an impressive top-six finish. 

After joining the CDL in 2019, Cammy has become one of the most experienced players from the UK. In July 2024, Cammy joined Boston ahead of the inaugural Esports World Cup, recording a top-eight finish and a share of $80,000 (~£58,976) in prize money.

Owakening has cemented himself as an established name in North American Call of Duty, having represented several franchises since 2020. The player caught the attention of many in his debut season under the Florida Mutineers, winning weeks nine and ten of regular-season competition.

Having competed alongside Cammy and Owakening under the OMiT Brooklyn banner throughout most of the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 season, Purj joined his teammates in the highest tier of Call of Duty esports. With plenty of experience, the 22-year-old will be key if Boston can end the season on a high. 

The Story So Far

The Black Ops 6 season has been a season of struggles for Boston Breach, despite possessing plenty of skill and experience on its roster. The opening Major of the year saw the franchise towards the top of the table, securing the third seed.

Despite a strong online showing, Boston was unable to translate its form onto a LAN setting, falling at the hands of Atlanta FaZe and Cloud9 New York, dumping the team out of the tournament with a disappointing top-12 finish. 

Major 2 saw a dip in online form, resulting in the franchise locking in the eighth seed. Despite a tricky draw against the Los Angeles Thieves, Boston managed to overcome a huge hurdle, advancing to the next round. Any momentum generated from the victory was short-lived.

A 3-1 defeat to Vancouver Surge, followed by a 3-0 sweep at the hands of Toronto Ultra, sent the team home. Although the losses stopped a potential run to the winner’s bracket final, Boston left the second Major with a top-six finish and a platform to build on for the second half of the season. 

Major 3 qualifiers were another step in the right direction, ending three weeks of matches with the second seed. A victory against an out-of-sorts OpTic Texas saw the organisation advance to the next round, where Vancouver stopped Boston Breach’s winner’s bracket campaign before it could build any steam.  Another elimination bracket defeat to Toronto Ultra marked Boston’s second top-six finish, a sign of some consistency building. 

Boston Breach’s fourth and final Major campaign began on the back foot, finishing ninth in qualifiers before a 3-2 defeat to Minnesota Rokkr rounded off a disappointing run of form following back-to-back top-six placements.

Championship Weekend Expectations

Boston Breach heads into Championship Weekend hoping it can rekindle the form which saw it solidify its place in the highly competitive midfield pack. With a wealth of experience and skill at its disposal, there is a chance of the franchise breaching its way into the latter stages of the tournament. 

However, the Los Angeles Thieves stand in its way in the first round. Boston has bested the Major 3 and 4 winners and could do it all again if the team manages to fire on all cylinders on the big stage.
