Six months after the Call of Duty League kicked off in Minnesota, the regular season will come to close this weekend. The Toronto home series will be the final event before the playoffs start on Aug. 19.

This past weekend saw the end of the Florida Mutineers' hot streak. After winning back-to-back home series, the Mutineers were pushed by OpTic Gaming Los Angeles, beaten by the London Royal Ravens and eliminated from the weekend tournament by the Dallas Empire, the eventual London home series champions. It raised a bit more uncertainty about which team is the best in the league.

Both Florida and Dallas will be in action again this weekend along with the other two teams that have challenged for the league's top spot -- the Chicago Huntsmen and Atlanta FaZe. Friday's slate of matchups will feature the Mutineers taking on the Empire. Can either win a fourth home series this weekend? Will Atlanta or Chicago join them as three-time champions? More important than winning another home series though, these four teams will be competing to finish the season in the top two in the CDL standings order to claim a two-round bye for Champs.

So how did the coaches around the league make sense of all the results this weekend? Below is how they think the teams stack up. The ranking was determined based on an aggregate of votes from participating coaches.
