Last year’s champion Whipsnakes, and Chaos, who won the most regular-season games last season, will face off against each other on Friday at 7 ET on NBCSN.

Chaos are coming off of an overtime loss to the Redwoods. In their last match, their defense was up to the task, but the offense got stuffed by excellent goalkeeping.

For Chaos to pick up their first win in pool play, the usual high-octane offense will have to return to form.

This game will be the second leg of a back-to-back for the Whipsnakes who blew out Atlas, 15-6 last night.

The Whipsnakes will be battling fatigue and also trying to keep pace with the league-leading Archers/Chrome by staying undefeated.

Storylines to Watch 

Chaos Looking For First Win
So far, for Chaos, the Championship series has not gone according to plan.

After dropping their first game to Chrome, Chaos then lost in OT to their rivals, the Redwoods.

In both games, the offense was uncharacteristically bad. Through two games last season, Chaos had put 32 points on the scoreboard. In their first two games of 2020, they’ve put up half of that.

The Chaos may want to revert to their deadly transition game from last year to take advantage of a team coming off a game 24 hours ago.

The Stripe
Thomas Kelly had a rough start to the Championship Series, he got dominated in his matchup with Connor Farrell. Kelly went 7-24 in that matchup but came back more forceful against the Redwoods, winning 71% of his faceoffs.

Kelly is going to be going up against the hottest man at the stripe, Joseph Nardella.

Nardella has been on fire in his first two matchups, and currently leads the league in faceoff percentage at an astounding 7#%.
