Miami Heretics enter this best-of-five Call of Duty League Stage 4 Minor Playoff matchup with momentum from consistent mid-table finishes in prior majors and standout individual performances, particularly from flex player Traixx across Hardpoint and Search & Destroy maps. Vancouver Surge, meanwhile, has posted mixed qualifier results and lower placements in recent events, relying on a roster featuring Lunarz and Gwinn for map control. Head-to-head history shows Miami holding a slight edge in map score over the past year, though both squads face a deep map pool that rewards strong communication and adaptation in a single-elimination setting. Roster health and recent scrim form will likely dictate series length.
