Monster Energy athletes and Lunatics by Nature (LBN) teammates Khalifa Al Nahyan, Dany Neville and Sultan Al Qassimi were all on hand to compete at the event and qualifying saw Khalifa put down a score of 78.33 to earn himself a 6th place finish and a spot in the Top 16 stage. Sultan would also go straight to the Top 16 with an 8th place score of 77.67, whilst Dany narrowly missed out on the Top 8 places, scoring 76.33 to finish qualifying in 9th position.
It wouldn’t be long before Dany had the chance to avenge that result though, as Dany and Sultan would meet in battle at the Top 16 stage of the competition. That battle though would see Sultan go 2-for-2, as he defeated Dany to go to the Top 8.
