In order to prepare for the Playoffs, the first thing the Nevada Battleborn organization did for the players was to take them to Las Vegas and bring them to the casinos. This was a test for their mental fortitude and see how they can discipline themselves. Many players like Yuri Boyka III were generally drawn to the casino tables but needed a slap here and there to prevent them from succumbing to their temptations. At last, not one soul played anything there and the mission was a success. Next thing the organization did to get the players ready for the playoffs was bring them to the swimming pool. Many had tears of joy upon hearing the word "pool" but little did they know that it was a training ground. The players had to submerge themselves underwater and then jump onto the edges. This was to train their physicality and build explosiveness for their legs. This will hence translate to faster acceleration on the ice. The last thing the Nevada orgnization did to prepare the players for playoffs was to play practice games against SHL teams. This was to show them, their skills at their current level is subpar and they need to have that mamba mentality to continue to train and become the best version of themselves.
