Sixteen teams entered the semipro division at the Virginia
Beach Open, many of which you’re probably heard of—
teams like Los Angeles Collision, Distortion, Rock City
Clutch, DC Devastation, Seattle Uprising and Revo II just to
name a few. Seattle Uprising and Rock City Clutch were the
only two semipro teams to make it out of the preliminaries
unscathed, each winning their four-game schedule. Seattle
Uprising, St. Louis HuSTLe, Distortion and New York
Outlaws all won their quarterfinals games. Seattle Uprising
dominated Distortion in their semifinal game, winning and
advancing easily 6-1. And although it wasn’t easy, New York
Outlaws beat St. Louis HuSTLe 2-1 to advance to the finals.
In another one-point Sunday match it was Seattle Uprising
taking the semipro division Virginia Beach Open title with
a tough 3-2 victory over New York Outlaws.
