Orlando Squeeze and Dallas Flash at MLP: The MLP Las Vegas tournament featured several teams that fell into the “Just OK” category, among them the Orlando Squeeze and the Dallas Flash. While neither team emerged as a standout, both managed to contribute to the competitive atmosphere of the event.
Orlando Squeeze
The Orlando Squeeze entered the weekend with high hopes, showing their potential by earning nine points from five matches. Their initial momentum was impressive, as they dominated early on, defeating the New Jersey 5s in regulation and sweeping the Utah Black Diamonds and the Columbus Sliders with commanding 4-0 victories on the first two days.
The energy among the team was noticeable, hinting at a possible weekend win. However, their ambitions were dashed when they stumbled, suffering back-to-back 1-3 losses to the Los Angeles Mad Drops and Dallas Flash.
Dallas Flash
Much like the Orlando Squeeze, the Dallas Flash also collected nine points from five matches. So why do they find themselves in the “Just OK” category while the New Jersey 5s enjoy a spot in “The Good? The answer lies in their performance.
The Dallas Flash failed to secure a top-two playoff position, resulting in a decisive loss to the St. Louis Shock that raised serious concerns heading into the playoffs. Their overall performance was just adequate, and it appears they will enter the post-season as the third seed, a disappointing outcome for a team with higher aspirations.
