The COD Casuals

Author: Justin Yin and Mike Hargens

A podcast about Call of Duty on a casual and professional level. We're two gamers who have been playing Call of Duty for years now and have a passion for it. More specifically, watching professional Call of Duty. The scene is slowly growing with the Call of Duty League being introduced. We are casual players that love the scene and want the CDL to thrive in the future. Our goal for this podcast is to introduce more casual players to the CDL and hopefully resinate the same passion we have for COD in others. Hosted by: Justin Yin and Mike Hargens

OPTIC MAJOR 1 EXPERIENCE | PARIS GENTLEMATES CHAMPIONS | The COD Casuals Ep. 260
Monday, 9 February, 2026

Welcome to episode #260 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!In this episode, we have returned from Major 1 in Dallas, Texas, and we have a lot to share. For those who have never been to a Call of Duty event, or esports event in general, we give a full breakdown of our experience the entire weekend. From the venue and its organization, to the VIP experience and matches, we leave no stones unturned, and give our unbiased review of the weekend. Along with the experience, we break down the matches. From the winners to the losers, we give our thoughts on the teams that we feel cemented themselves as contenders, and who we feel are in serious need of a change in order to contend, and even be in attendance for Major II. Finally, ranked play is finally out, and we give our first impressions on the experience, where we placed after our placement matches, and what we feel are the strongest points of this year’s ranked play system. Did you watch the matches throughout the weekend of Major 1? If so, what did you think about the event overall when watching online? Did it live up to its expectations, or did you feel something was missing? What do you think about our takes on the top teams, and who we think needs to make a change? Is there anyone we are leaving out? Finally, where did you place in ranked play? Are you enjoying the experience so far, or are there some issues you have with it? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more! Hope you all enjoy the episode and we'll see you next week.
