Ben Johns Silenced EVERY Hater, Even Me..

MLP Is BACK: New Format, Team Breakdowns, Controversies, AI Line Calling & Ben Johns vs Hayden In this video I recap the first MLP event of the year — breaking down the new two-pool round robin format, where every match now directly impacts standings points and nothing is throwaway. I cover the major roster changes across all 12 teams, with the St. Louis Shock being the only unchanged lineup after paying $1.3M to keep Anna Bright. I also get into key storylines including Parris Todd's suspension and Alix Truong's impressive fill-in performance, notable Dreambreaker tactics and substitutions, MLP's growing social media momentum, and the debut of AI line calling. Lastly, I revisit my Ben Johns vs. Hayden Patriquin "highest ceiling" take after Ben's dominant performance alongside Jade Kawamoto. 💦SLAMIT Hydration - Stay hydrated and locked in on the court with SLAMIT—the best-tasting electrolyte and clean energy alternative proven to boost reaction time.
