PwnAlone is off to a career-best MDL season

MDL Recap Week 3 - New England Whalers rise to the top

New England Whalers and oNe are the sole remaining teams with their perfect season intact.

The third week of ESEA MDL Season 35 has concluded, seeing New England Whalers topple Secret Club to climb to first place while claiming a perfect 6-0 regular season record thus far.

In their first match of the week, New England Whalers faced off against Secret Club, narrowly besting them 16-13 game on Overpass thus ending Secret Club's perfect season. As for their second game of the week, it was more one-sided in New England Whaler's favor as they bested Sixth Gear 16-9 on Inferno.

The sole other team in the division to still have a perfect record is oNe, with the Brazilians maintaining it with confident fashion with dominant 16-3 and 16-4 wins against Rugratz and ImPerium, respectively. 

With the addition of Austin "RenZ" Dickman, ex-Polar Ace also had a strong showing in week three, climbing up to sixth place following wins over ex-Recon 5, Kinship, and ex-Warriors International.

In unfortunate news, this week also saw Swole Patrol disband and forfeit their spot in ESEA MDL Season 35 before playing a single match.

This next week does not currently have any MDL matches scheduled, with sources close to ESEA telling Dust2.us that they elected to leave the week open as a now-cancelled DreamHack event was set to have its qualifiers take place.

With that being said, some notable matchups two weeks from now are:
