3 Things: MLR Round 10

LA is on the Path to the Top Seed in the West Saying that LA will earn a one seed is just about the coldest take in the MLR. However, the path has become clear.

Spoiler Alert: MLR Round 10 – Part 2

Byes: San Diego, Toronto Utah @ NOLA Both of these teams need a win. While Utah is the better team, they’re inconsistent. NOLA just got hammered in San Diego, but it’s easy to think they couldn’t get motivated to play against the hapless Legion. They tend to look much better at home.
