AZ Fear 17 EC Rises Above in 17 Open

Jacob Mayer’s MVP performance drives AZ Fear through a loaded bracket at The Open 2025


Pressure’s always heavier in the 17 Open division. Futures are being shaped. Eyes are everywhere. And still, AZ Fear 17 EC played like a team at peace with the moment. They stayed composed and left as champions of The Open 2025.

Jacob Mayer was the constant. The pace-setter. The MVP. He didn’t just perform—he commanded attention without demanding it. His game was clean. His decisions, fast. He was the kind of player you build around.

NorCal Boys 17-1 made a deep push, fueled by long rallies and hard-earned points. GVA Boys 17u Dark Blue and AFVBC 17 Apex rounded out the top four with fight and grit all weekend.

This was not a bracket won by dominance. It was won by discipline. AZ Fear didn’t chase the moment—they shaped it. 

One point at a time.
