MDL Week 3 Recap - Good News for Bad News Bears
Another week of MDL has come to a close, seeing just twelve matches played due to the IEM Sydney open qualifiers taking place throughout the week. Of those, only three matchups saw the losing side claim double digits, while the remaining nine consisted primarily of blowouts by the upper echelon of teams.
The top end of the board remains largely unchanged, with Spacestation, Luminosity, iNTACT, and Final Feature remaining in the top five. oNe also debuted this week after returning from the IEM Katowice Americas Minor, picking up wins over Infamous and Old Guys Club while suffering a suprising 13-16 defeat by the hands of the Final Feature roster
Singularity continued to work their way up the board by taking down iNTACT and Forty Six and 2 in their first two matches of the week. Ian "motm" Hardy's side were later dealt a blowout 4-16 loss by Bad News Bears, who's good form continued into the rest of the week as they took down Infamous 16-2 before going on to qualify for the IEM Sydney 2019 Closed Qualifier with wins over Hysteria, iNTACT, and most surprisingly, Rogue and oNe.
