Trivium and blood, sweat, and tears through to MDL Season 34

AA and Thunder Logic will not be returning to the league.

The final matches of MDL Season 33 Relegation have concluded, and have seen Trivium and blood, sweat, and tears upset incumbent MDL sides AA and Thunder Logic, respectively.

A heroic, 27-kill effort from Sean "Inseaniac" Morrison helped put Thunder Logic over the finish line on Dust2. The team started strong with a 10-5 T-side, but then Kevin "4pack" Przypasniak and co. brought things all the way back with six straight to start the second half and take the 11-10 lead. That was as close as blood, sweat, and tears got to taking the map, however, only managing one other round beyond that streak as Thunder Logic closed out the game.

The venue then shifted to Overpass, the worst possible map for a Thunder Logic opponent facing elimination, which blood, sweat, and tears learned as they found themselves down 6-0 and then 11-1. The Advanced representatives managed to claw back to an 11-4 halftime deficit, and then replicated the 11-4 half on their own T-side to force overtime, which they took convincingly.

blood, sweat, and tears did not squander the opportunity to take the series, pummeling Thunder Logic on Nuke.

Trivium got off to a good start on their map pick of Vertigo, winning their T-side 10-5 and then slammed the door shut before AA could hit double digits. Brett "hyper-" Rhein and Daniel "bokumbop" Yoo each had 25 and 24 kills, respectively.

AA bounced back on their home court, winning Dust2 on the back of 28 kill performances from Chris "riku" Piasecki and Robert "robby" Brown. Trivium kept it close, but eight rounds in each half for AA got the job done to force a decider map.

Derek "Hendy" Hendrixson and bokumbop were pretty absent from map two with a combined K/D of -21, but that was not the case on Mirage, where they combined for 61 kills and each had above a 1.40 rating. Trivium were down 12-9 when they won seven of the last eight rounds to clinch the map, the series, and an MDL berth.
