3 Storylines for MLP Dallas! MLP begins today and we have you covered on the top storylines going into the event!⭐ Who will make it out of the group of death? Premier Level Group A is loaded with talent and features the defending champs (Orlando Squeeze), Ben John's Chicago Slice, the Julian Arnold-led AZ Drive and the Texas Ranchers. 2 of the teams will be eliminated in group play.While the odds on favorites for coming in last are the Ranchers, the big question is who will be that second team eliminated. 1 team is leaving this tournament feeling surprised their run ended early.⭐ Riley Newman - the master at getting silver medals and runner-up trophies. Only joking here...well kind of. Riley Newman has often been touted as the second-best men's doubles player on the planet and an exceptional mixed doubles player, but those fan-given accolades haven't earned him an MLP title.His DC Pickleball Team was up 2-0 in games in the finals last MLP before the squeeze completed one of the best comebacks in pickleball history.Now the field is even tighter, more pressure has mounted and everyone is wondering if Riley Newman can prove to the pickleball world he can close matches and win a championship!⭐There's always that one player in the Challenger Level that plays out of their mind, plays better than their draft position and ultimately helps their team in winning the Challenger Level trophy. Last tournament it was CJ Klinger.Last season it was Pablo Tellez, Christian Alshon and Connor Garnett. Who's that player this time around? Emily Ackerman? Erik Pailet? Wes Burrows? The list goes on, but only one of these players will become THAT player! We'll find out starting on Thursday.
