Wednesday, July 8th — and FKsGCardDell just put the entire Midwest Esports Association on notice. The Finesse Kings star went off for 40 points and 15 assists — a double-double — in a dominant 88-64 dismantling of Full Court Pressure, then turned around and dropped 30 points and 16 assists — another double-double — in an 81-74 road win over that same Full Court Pressure squad. That's back-to-back double-doubles against a top-three team in the same day. The man was not playing around.

The Finesse Kings went 2-1 on a wild three-game Wednesday, and their split with No Loyalty Needed is worth talking about. IPlaymakerEI went full playmaker — 27 points and 11 assists, a double-double — to lead No Loyalty Needed to a 78-65 upset win at Finesse Kings' place, handing the Kings their loss on the day. But when the Finesse Kings returned the favor on the road, it was He So Fried cooking up 33 points and 6 steals to pace an 78-60 beatdown. Six steals. That's not defense, that's a heist.

Over in the WDFWU x CSG vs. U Know series, both teams took one — and the stat lines were absolutely stacked. iTroublSh00t of U Know dropped 37 points and 11 assists — a double-double — in each game, yet his squad still split. NeloooFromCSG answered the call for WDFWU x CSG, posting a double-double of 27 points and 16 assists in Game 1, then erupting for 37 points and 9 assists in the Game 2 home win. WDFWU x CSG has now won 3 straight overall and are making serious noise in the Sunset Beach standings.

With the split, the Finesse Kings stay at the top of the Rivet City conference at 18-2, but that No Loyalty Needed loss is a reminder that nobody gets a free night in this league. No Loyalty Needed snaps a recent skid and gets back on track. Meanwhile, Full Court Pressure drops to back-to-back losses and is now on a two-game slide — a tough stretch for a squad that was rolling just days ago.
