The San Diego Tidal’s top rival early in their tenure is the Nevada Battleborn. Geographically the closest matchup for the Tidal, the games with the Battleborn have been decidedly more intense than other Tidal games, with a very high average shot count. Theres also the added pressure of the team staffs’ personal ties, being somewhat close and therefore more driven to get one over on their friends. Captain Skyler Stevens also has decided, he just, hates Nevada. Why? Well, because, he’s a shark, and, well, the desert. So the captain has beef with the geography, and drives his team that much harder to get results. Stevens has been quoted as saying, “Frick that desert thing, the sea is much better”. The Tidal, it seems, agree, and not only are driven by Stevens, but their own motivations, to prove their habitat superior to the arid Nevada. Thus, a grand geographical beef.
