BR Factory continued their roll in the finals with a 5-3 win over the New Jersey Jesters to win their first event of the 2025 season. New York Wrecking Crew beat Shock 4-3 in the consolation game. Divisional Xball Play
Like BR Factory in the Semipro Xball Division, Noobies held the top seed in the Division Two Xball season rankings race coming into Cincinnati without having won an event this year— consistent play beats streaky play when it comes to rankings titles. And as this event ended Noobies would remain atop the leaderboard without a win, as New York Brave, playing their first NXL event of the season, walked away with the Division Two Midwest Open win.
So far this season in Division Three Xball play New Jersey Filthy and AG Knights each won an event, then whiffed in their other. But there were no swings and misses for these two in the Midwest Open as both teams played strong from start to finish. It was New Jersey Filthy taking down AG Knights in the finals, in a very tough battle, 4-3. Eavl beat Eots 1st Degree 3-2 to claim third place.
In Division Four Xball Gunnerz won the opening event of the season in Tampa Bay, while Filthy took home the big trophy in Atlantic City. Neither would repeat in Cincinnati, although Gunnerz would make it as far as the consolation match to claim third place over The Lost Boys. Smoke Red( 35th place in Tampa and 5th place in Atlantic City) would continue their season long climb and get their first win defeating Suwt Hydra 2-1 in the finals.
