The Boston Breach and OpTic Texas blitzed their way to sweeps Saturday to each remain undefeated at Call of Duty League Major 2 qualifying.
The Breach blasted the Florida Mutineers 3-0, while OpTic took care of the Los Angeles Guerrillas by the same 3-0 decision. In other matches Saturday, the New York Subliners defeated the Minnesota Rokkr 3-1 and the Seattle Surge took down the winless Los Angeles Thieves, also 3-1.
