MDL Recap Week 4 - New Identity hold strong
The fourth week of ESEA MDL Season 32 has ended, and with only 33 matches being played this season thus far, the standings are far from being settled.
This week notably saw Riot Squad finally play their first match, with the team finding a relatively easy win over Bushido Boyz. Week four also saw New Identity hold onto their top spot while INTZ climbed to second place as both teams found two wins.
Additionally, recent ECS Season 8 Week 2 winners ATK also had time this week to secure a win over Peeker's Advantage, whose roster continued to struggle even after a number of changes.
