MDL Season 27 Week 5 Recap
Once again, a myriad games took place, with many of the results propelling teams towards the top of the standings. Other results put teams further into the bin. Furthermore, roster changes also took place this week, meaning there is plenty to explore.
As far as interesting match results go, there were a good amount to be had. LFAO took down Mythic, a team which has been having serious troubles lately. Also, Iceberg demolished Grizzlys, Não Tem Como made their debut against NTN and Freedom 35, and Torqued dropped their first map to Etherian.
Atmosphere continued their good form, barely losing to Torqued in overtime, but taking down (the now dead) Say No More and subtLe along the way. For notable roster moves, Corey "ruin" Hartog made his exit as coach of Swole Patrol. Additionally, Jonathan "JonY BoY" Muñoz left No Tenemos Nada to pursue other opportunities.
Looking into the next week, here are four matches to keep an eye on:
