It was a day of blowouts at the Call of Duty League Stage 2 Major on Friday, as all three matches to open Week 2 saw 3-0 sweeps.

Two of the matches saw clubs pick up their first wins of the event — the Miami Heretics and Carolina Royal Ravens — while in the day’s final match Cloud9 New York improved to 2-1.

The Stage 2 Major qualifying round consists of 12 teams, with each playing seven qualifying matches through March 16 to determine seeding for the Stage 2 Major playoffs, slated for March 20-23 in Dallas.

On Friday, the Royal Ravens opened play with a 3-0 win over Minnesota, handing the Rokkr their first loss in three matches. Carolina won 250-198 on Skyline Hardpoint then 6-5 on Red Card Search and Destroy before putting the match away with a 3-1 win on Protocol Control.

Miami then faced fellow winless club the Los Angeles Guerrillas M8 and won by nearly identical scores as the Carolina-Minnesota match: 250-193 on Vault Hardpoint, 6-5 on Protocol Search and Destroy and 3-1 on Protocol Control.

Finally, the Vegas Falcons became the first team to fall to 0-3 when they lost to Cloud9 New York, 250-105 on Protocol Hardpoint, 6-4 on Skyline Search and Destroy, and 3-1 on Protocol Control.

Week 2 continues Saturday with four matches with three more scheduled for Sunday.
