Cleveland Imperial beat Asylum TrueBallers 5-0, Brooklyn
Bears beat Carolina Breakout 3-1 and Supreme sent P.C.
Katana home early with a 4-3 win. Advancing through the
quarterfinals were AAF, TMG Outlaw, Cleveland Imperial
and Palm Beach Vipers. In the end it was AAF dominating
TMG Outlaw in the finals with a 6-1 win. Cleveland
Imperial took third place with a 6-1 win over a really good
Palm Beach Vipers team.
Division Three Xball saw the return of Miami Rage, the
one-time pro powerhouse franchise. In their four first
round games Rage won three, easily enough to move on.
In fact they made it all the way to the semifinals where
they finally were knocked down by DZ All Stars 2-1. Rage
would eventually finish in fourth place after losing the
game for third place 4-3 to Ralph Boys. In the finals it was
DZ All Stars handling business against Competitive Edge
to take the the Division Two Cleveland title.

Twenty teams entered Division Four Xball in Cleveland
and somewhat surprisingly not a single one of those
teams won its four prelim games. Houston Notorious
came close, winning three and tying their fourth. As the
event moved forward it became clear that Notorious was
the team to beat and as it turned out, they never lost
a single game on the way to winning the division. DBS
Supersonics finished second, Chicago Warped Black
third and One Nation 2 fourth.
Five teams entered the NXL’s ten-man bracket. Storm
Riders would beat Rogue in the finals to take the division.
Pekin Prestige won the Division Four, five-man division.
Next up is the NXL’s Mid Atlantic Open, August 7-9, 2015.
