Defending NHSCA National Duals champion Team Kong United are coming back to Virginia Beach, VA, this weekend and are better than ever. 

Whether you prefer to think of them as the New York Yankees or Lebron James' Miami Heat, this team of all-stars from across the country will enter the dual meet tournament as the prohibitive favorite. 

Kong United were stopped by Young Guns in the finals of 2015 but got their revenge last year in a one-point match, ending Young Guns' streak of NHSCA titles at three.
