The Semi-Pro finals would replicate the same
matchup as the Las Vegas Open finals just
months before. Yet again, another Brooklyn
Bears vs Sacramento DMG showdown. This
showdown though would be a slow, stale
match that would drag on until the final
minute where it came down (tied at 1) to a
1-on-1. DMG rushes to hit the buzzer, takes a
hit simultaneously in the process but is able to
hit the buzzer. Conflict ensues and confusion
fills the stands, pits and commentator booth
as DMG is handed the point and the lead 2
to 1 with under thirty seconds remaining. The
Bears attempt a desperation push in hopes
of a tie, but instead draw a major penalty
that would put the nail in the coffin and hand
DMG their second victory in a row.
The professional finals match would show
a test of patience on both ends as neither

We see this often come Sunday, everything
on the line, a slow, methodical gameplay
starts to come out. Back and forth each team
would trade, and trade, and trade until the
scoreboard sat at 3 apiece. Clock winding
down, Impact would make the push, forcing
Heat to concede as they hand Impact the
4 to 3 lead with 46 seconds remaining. But
if there is one thing we have learned in this
sport, is that every second counts and 46
seconds would prove to be plenty of time
to stage an epic comeback. In an almost
identical fashion to the Las Vegas Open
loss to Dynasty, Impact would be unable to
hold strong in the final seconds as Sergei
Solnishkov barrels down the center of the
field picking off Impact one by one. As the
final seconds wound down, Sam Monville
sprints down to eliminate Nick Leival and
hit the buzzer with 4 seconds remaining in
