MDL Recap Week 5 - Divine continue their ascension

Divine have taken advantage of ATK and New Identity leaving MDL to clinch first place with an 8-1 record.

The fifth week of MDL has come to a close, and with ATK and New Identity being promoted to EPL, the standings table has shifted greatly compared to last week.

With ATK and New Indentity having pulled out of MDL and set to make their EPL debuts tonight, each of the remaining teams in the division came into week five with two extra wins.

Outside of those, Divine had a strong week, picking up wins over Big Frames and Just Swing to narrowly come out ahead of INTZ to claim first place. Additionally, MAC-51 have seemingly turned their season around, with the squad winning three out of their four matches this week to claim third place. This is likely to change as many of the division's top squads get more matches under their belt, but it’s an important step in working to avoid relegation.

On the other side of the equation, Peeker's Advantage's season has continued to go downhill as they went 0-3 this week following loses to INTZ, Monstars, and Bushido Boyz. Luckily for them, due to there only being sixteen teams, no team will auto-relegate this season; however, they currently sit in dead last. 

Some notable matchups for the upcoming week are:
