MDL Recap Week 3 - Mythic stream to first place
The third week of ESEA MDL Season 34 has come to a close, with stream team Mythic rising to the top of the division after winning three matches this week.
Elsewhere in the division, Chaos have continued their good form even with the sudden replacement of Nathan "leaf" Orf with Jonathan "Jonji" Carey, with the team claiming two blowout wins against AA and Polar Ace.
Speaking of Polar Ace, after a strong showing in week one they have struggled to maintain their form in recent weeks, falling to the aforementioned Chaos while also dropping a map to oNe, who have continued to use Olavo "chucky" Napoleão as a stand-in.
Likewise, AA also had a poor week, dropping an additional two maps to Under 21 and Warriors International, with the latter going to triple overtime.
