Nenerson was simply unstoppable, and a dunk with 1.6 seconds left in the third quarter put Krashout 2K ahead for good — a lead they would never surrender. Nenerson finished with 34 points on 15-of-24 FG and 4-of-9 from three, single-handedly carrying the offense when Red Tape threatened to steal this one. With 8 lead changes and 9 ties, this was a dogfight from wire to wire — but the fourth quarter belonged entirely to Krashout 2K, who outscored Red Tape 20-13 to seal the 64-56 final.

Nenerson punctuated the win with a three at 0:27.2 that pushed the lead to 64-54 and put it on ice. On the other side, Khari 313 was brilliant in a losing effort — 24 points, 8-of-14 FG, and a scorching 6-of-10 from three to go with 5 assists. Deedthegod posted a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds on 7-of-8 FG for Red Tape, but it wasn't enough. For Krashout 2K, streamer II WHEEL II quietly put together a double-double of their own — 13 points, 16 rebounds, and 8 assists — while Fr Fella chipped in 3 steals on 3-of-4 FG.

Krashout 2K entered this one at 2-0, already having beaten Mean Streets earlier the same day, and they handled their business again. Red Tape was making their season debut at 0-0 coming in — a tough welcome to Midwest Esports Association action.
