TOURNAMENT
In the professional semi-finals at the 2012
World Cup, Edmonton Impact battled to a
five-three finish that ended the Ironmen’s
event, while in a Texas-only fight, X-Factor
edged by the heavily-favored Houston
Heat by a point to advance. In what can
only be described as an epic final battle worthy of Sunday afternoon, World
Cup glory, Edmonton Impact squared off
against X-Factor in an Eclipse-powered
game for the gold. Though Impact came
out and took a lead, X-Factor refused to
go down quietly and battled back with the
help of three major penalties on Impact
late in the match. X-Factor used these penalty power-plays to pull ahead and stay
