MDL Recap Week 4 - FURIA rushes to the top
The fourth week of MDL Season 31 has concluded, leaving just three weeks remaining before the top eight teams are determined. The past seven days saw FURIA rocket up the board to first place as they won eleven of the twelve matches they played, while the majority of the remaining teams maintained their positions as few other games were played.
Included among FURIA's wins were dominant takedowns of Chris and the boys, Variance, Ascent, ex-Zone, Mythic, Thunder Logic, and BLITZKRIEG. Narrow victories over ATK, Singularity, Polar Ace, and The Quest also added to FURIA's run over the week, while Jaccob "yay" Whiteaker helped to claim the sole scalp over the Brazilian roster for Bad News Bears with a 16-7 victory on Mirage.
Aside from FURIA's twelve matches, only four other matchups were played, with Singularity grabbing a pair of wins over ex-Zone and Polar Ace, Polar Ace taking down Chris and the boys in double overtime, and Ascent edging out a 16-14 victory over Chris and the boys.
