All Star Game

Women's 3v3 All-Star game

The event also showcased a Women's 3v3 All-Star game, featuring some of the top talent from around France. Which is super cool because they didn't have a women's division so it gave the oppurtunity for the Ladies to showcase their skill. For a Replay of the Game watch Below.
