Sunday, July 12th in the Midwest Esports Association, and Turkey came out and HANDLED business. The home squad dismantled the Sock Monsters 98–65 in a game that was never close — Turkey led every single quarter and never let Sock Monsters breathe. MoonSurferTV paced the offense with 27 points, but the real story was the all-around brilliance across the roster. Kid_the1 ran the show with a double-double — 22 points and a jaw-dropping 16 assists. Cliff23c was everywhere on the glass, pulling down 11 rebounds to go with 22 points and 4 steals — another double-double. That's three double-doubles from one team in one game. Turkey is cooking, and Sock Monsters are now skidding on a five-game losing streak.

The Full Court Pressure vs. New Vision doubleheader was the drama of the night. Game one went to Full Court Pressure, 90–80, with IIHog going for 32 points and 8 assists, while Vushami put up a valiant double-double effort on the losing end — 27 points and 10 assists for New Vision. Then game two flipped the script entirely. New Vision bounced back at home 88–80, with Vushami going absolutely nuclear for 39 points and 9 assists — that's a 66-point two-game swing for one player. IIHog responded with 11 assists and 37 points in the loss — a double-double — and XW Keller chipped in 24 points with 6 steals for the winners. Ckhavn locked down the glass with 17 rebounds for New Vision in the nightcap. Split series. Both teams leave with something to prove.

In the standings, New Vision picks up a much-needed win to stay in the thick of things at 17–7, while Full Court Pressure drops to the same mark after the split. Meanwhile, Turkey climbs to 8–16 — not a playoff team yet, but they are absolutely trending. No Loyalty Needed stays hot on a three-game winning streak, and the Finesse Kings at the top are sitting on an L1 after their recent stumble, so the race in Rivet City is very much alive.
