Exhibition
NorCal vs SoCal 8v8 crew battle
The main exhibition match of the event was an 8v8 crew battle pitting together the best of NorCal and the best of SoCal. Bob$, along with Hyuga (who did not play), were co-captains of the NorCal team. Mango was the captain of the SoCal team. After garnering a sound 6 stock lead, the SoCal team decided to please the fans and replaced Lucky with Ken to fight the last member of the NorCal team, PewPewU. Ultimately SoCal took the crew battle, with Ken defeating PewPewU with a well spaced tippered forward smash.
