Slvsh Cup Sunset Park Recap

Games under Sunset Park’s lights were not uncommon as many games wouldn’t start until 4 or 5pm. Given the short window of this Cup, multiple games had to be played simultaneously.

Now you’re free to hook into them and do transfers on to cliffs and combo other cliffs. 1080 on and stomped 1080 off is my best single cliff combo so far.
