NHRL 2024: June 1st, Teams Tournament @ Norwalk

The stage is set. The top plates are (almost) on. The arenas await. Rivals will unite. Allies will clash. The very first NHRL Teams Tournament will be an absolutely EPIC showdown, and it's happening at the House of Havoc on Saturday, June 1!

NHRL's top builders from around the world have formed 16 brand-new alliances that are truly jaw-dropping. The competition will follow a World Cup-style series of group stages, followed by knockouts. Teams are competing for a slice of a $50k prize pool, hoping to win their weight class, and the inaugural Teams Tournament Trophy, awarded to the team with the most points overall!

Who's in the lineup?

NHRL legends, friends and rivals Matt Bores, Calvin Iba, and Jamison Go have a super casual total of six World Championships titles 🏆 between them, and on June 1 they'll unite as the Dream Team 🐐 🐐 🐐. When we first heard that, our jaws literally dropped, and just as we started scraping them off the floor, we heard that Bores' longtime teammate, Adam Wrigley, wouldn't be joining him...

Instead, Wrigley has defected (!), teaming up with NHRL All-Stars Champion Alex Grant and his longtime teammate Aren Hill, forming Reasonable Fight Club. And as if combining a scythe-wielding 30-lber and the most competitive, 🔥 most flamiest flamethrower 🔥 we've ever seen wasn't enough...

They're all going up against Team Honey Cracked, which has seen an insane rise to dominance so far this season. Led by the formidable queen bee 🐝 Zoe Lambert, and with Cody Graham, Liam King and Zach Stachelczyk joining her straight from the Hive, hits from this team will sting. After all, they've qualified not one, not two, but three bots for 2024 World Championships already this season.
