Week 2, Night 2 of the 2026 NPPA Elrick “Pat” Beazer 8-Ball Team Tournament belonged to Obsidian.
At Sisters Bar, in a match that opened tight but tilted late, Obsidian pulled away for a commanding 5–2 victory over Ball Breakers, showing depth, composure, and timely execution when it mattered most.
Ball Breakers struck first, with Neil opening the night against Feelinz of Obsidian and took advantage of early missed eight-ball opportunities by Feelinz who played solid throughout but was unable to close when the table opened. Neil fought back and secured a 2–1 win to give Ball Breakers the early 1–0 lead.
It would be their first and last lead of the night.
In what felt like a personal breakthrough, Coach delivered a big performance, earning his first win on Sister’s table in league play and “getting the monkey off his back.” Calm, assertive, and decisive in the closing rack, Coach leveled the team score at 1–1 and gave Obsidian momentum.
Killer, who impressed last week against Sharpshooters, faced Obsidian captain Roots in the third matchup. But this wasn’t last week.
Roots absorbed the pressure, steadied himself after losing the first rack with seven balls still on the table, and produced an excellent deciding rack to take the match 2–1 and claiming the shot of the night with a classic long bank shot on the seven ball to set up the eight ball on his final rack. The captain’s composure pushed Obsidian ahead 2–1 in team scoring and began the shift in tone.
Ball Breakers were now chasing.
Jay, still riding confidence from last week’s highlight-reel masse, stepped up against Havoc. He didn’t need trick shots this time—just clean pool. Jay delivered a clinical 2–0 performance to even the overall score at 2–2. Efficient. Controlled. No drama.
At that point, the match was balanced.
And then Obsidian tightened the screws.
Dennis of Ball Breakers took on Pool Dawg, and that’s where the separation began.
Pool Dog roared back with authority, controlling the table and running through his opportunities. His win restored Obsidian’s lead at 3–2 and shifted the pressure squarely onto Ball Breakers’ middle order.
Next came the battle of the two M’s—Morris versus Molly.
There was no split here.
Molly, a backbone of the Obsidian lineup, showed patience and discipline, taking two clean racks off Morris. No panic, no unnecessary risk. Just structured, percentage pool. With that 2–0 result, Obsidian moved to the hill at 4–2.
Ball Breakers were now one loss away from watching it slip.
And when the door needed closing, ZingZing closed it.
Under pressure but, with momentum firmly on Obsidian’s side, ZingZing delivered the finishing blow to seal the 5–2 victory and cap the team’s performance.
What started as a tight contest turned into a demonstration of depth.
Ball Breakers showed flashes—Neil’s opener and Jay’s response proved they can strike—but Obsidian’s consistency from the middle order downward made the difference.
Coach broke through.
Roots led from the front.
Pool Dog swung momentum.
Molly locked it down.
ZingZing finished the job.
No fluke. No scramble finish. Just steady, layered team execution.
Week 2 is where identities begin to form.
And on this night at Sisters Bar, Obsidian looked every bit like a team building toward something serious.
