MDL Week 4 Recap - Changes come in after eight matches played
The MDL has finished up its fourth week with the likes of oNe struggling to find their footing in the NA league, Spacestation cleaning up the station's residents, and ex-Fam143 simply cleaned house.
oNe didn't enjoy a week of pleasantries as it was mostly a struggle throughout the three games the Brazilians had to play. With Old Guys Club allowing in some younger clientele, oNe would end up losing 16-11 on Overpass, even after the map had to be postponed at 14-11 due to an admin not arriving after the bomb had fallen through the map.
Alencar "trk" Rossato and co. would venture into muddier waters against Vireo.pro, losing a close 16-14 game on Dust 2, and tried to clear the way to a better record replicating the last games score in their favor against ETHEREAL.
Having gotten their required eight matches from Dave "seziwana" Schrage, Spacestation began their roster cleaning. Their first order of business saw Teric "Bibby" Ingram being relinquished of his coaching role, as well as Trevor "FrostayK" Bandle and Logan "Voltage" Long being removed. The players were replaced with David "DAVEY" Stafford and Chad "oderus" Miller while Michael "Grim" Wince made his way into the active roster.
The new squad would find early success early beating Blight 16-5 on Dust 2 in their debut, and they will have to test their new strength against Gorilla Gang and Vireo.pro up next in their schedule.
Fam143, now Think Outside the Box, was featured on headlines with their decision to release their roster this past week. The team's roster page is nothing but "TBD" under the roster except Justin "NEX" McLellan with a "Coach/Manager" label.
With the "TBD" looming, the roster still features Alex "lanhero" Suaraz, Ahsan "draek" Ismailzadah, Caleb "jaychancE" Davis, and newly added player Nash "lenon" Lenon.
