🏟 Matchups & Mini-Stories

Premature EJeantylation 184.12 def. White Center Rats 163.66A clean, low-mistake lineup from Premature was enough to cool off the high-powered Rats. Premature stacked steady double-digits across the starters and kept the floor high wire-to-wire.

Boom Goes The Dynamite 209.32 def. The OG Champ 201.69The tightest game of the slate. Boom found just enough late juice to hold off the Champ in a back-and-forth tilt that stayed within a possession most of Sunday.

The Many-Faced Squad 234.22 def. Baby Back Gibbs 185.61An explosive showing from The Many-Faced Squad—multiple 20+ spikes across the lineup—was too much for Gibbs to match this time.

Gimp Squad 237.50 def. Prestige Worldwide 224.82A heavyweight shootout. Prestige cleared 220 and still came up short as Gimp Squad’s ceiling game turned this into one of the week’s best watches.

Hit and Ruggs 189.21 def. Love Hurts 🦿😬 160.45Ruggs grabbed a momentum win with contributions at every level. Love Hurts couldn’t keep pace after a sluggish middle window.

Lickety Splitz Squad 226.78 def. Strokin McConkey 152.87Splitz reasserted top-tier status with the week’s biggest rout—balanced production and a couple of big pops put this one away early.
