Turtles N Sharks never let CJ00s breathe, leading for 19:45 of 20:00 and never trailing a single second on their way to an 85-57 blowout. The biggest run of the night — a 12-unanswered stretch by Turtles N Sharks — told the whole story: this one was over early and it only got worse from there.

antoinelove was the engine of the demolition, going for 36 pts, 11 ast, and 3 stl on 14-of-26 FG and 7-of-16 from three — a double-double that had no business being that efficient at that volume. Good Vibes Mud was every bit as dominant on the glass, posting a 22-pt, 20-reb double-double on a scorching 11-of-14 FG. IIIIupfye chipped in 11 pts and a jaw-dropping 5 stl while finishing with 0 turnovers. On the CJ00s side, CEOGreenBeam refused to quit — 28 pts on 11-of-17 FG and 6-of-11 from three was a genuinely elite individual line that deserves its flowers, even in a loss. Capaholicss added 14 pts and 13 ast for a double-double of their own, but the deficit was simply too steep.

Turtles N Sharks came in at 2-0 and have now climbed to 4-2 in the Midwest Esports Association standings. CJ00s, who dropped a 63-100 decision to Krashout 2K the night before, fall to 0-6 — a tough stretch that the squad will need to answer for next time out.
