2018 NHSCA National Duals

Will Kong Extend Its Reign At NHSCA Duals?

Will Kong Extend Its Reign At NHSCA Duals?

Team Kong United has won the last two NHSCA Duals, both times over Young Guns Black. Can they make it three in a row?

Four years running now, the NHSCA Duals have featured a showdown between Team Kong United and Young Guns Black in the finals. In 2016, Kong finally broke Young Guns' stranglehold on the title, ending a three-year championship run by the Pittsburgh-based club. Kong defended its title in 2017, by the exact same 25-24 score that allowed them to squeak by the previous year.

Will 2018 see another rematch of the only teams to make the finals since 2015? Both squads are once again bringing loaded lineups to the Virginia Beach Convention Center.
