🎙️ DUPL Week 2 at Rob’s Warehouse – Full Breakdown

Date: August 28, 2025
Venue: Rob’s Warehouse

Rob’s Warehouse turned into the Madison Square Garden of pinball last night. The buzz was electric, the machines were hungry, and the players left everything on the flippers. Week 2 was more than just pinball — it was a statement night. Legends flexed, underdogs rose, and the league standings are tighter than ever.

🔥 Headline Matchup: Diane S – Still the Queen

Diane S walked in cool, calm, and collected — and left the undisputed leader.

• Her 42M on Elvis had the crowd gasping.
  
  

• A monstrous 123M on Starship Troopers showed she doesn’t just win; she dominates.
  
  

• Diane’s consistency is unmatched — she walked away with 17 match points and now sits at 33 league points overall, #1 in the league.
  
  

She’s setting the bar, and right now, the rest of the league is just trying to keep up.

💥 The Walking Dead Explosion – Derek H Steals the Spotlight

You want fireworks? Derek H delivered them. On The Walking Dead, Derek put up 286M — a score that silenced the warehouse and had heads turning. That performance alone propelled him into 2nd place overall (27 points).

Paired with steady wins across the night, Derek showed he’s not just a highlight reel — he’s a legitimate contender. The league now knows: ignore Derek at your own risk.

🎸 Brittany P’s Rock-Solid Night

If Diane and Derek grabbed headlines, Brittany P quietly kept pace in championship form. Her big 3.4M win on Heavy Metal proved she can slug it out on any machine. Add in smart play and consistent finishes, and Brittany closes the night with 26 points, holding 3rd place in the league.

She’s the definition of a grinder — always there, always dangerous.

🚀 Whitney T – Warehouse Warrior

Some players thrive under pressure, and Whitney T was built for Rob’s Warehouse.

• A staggering 56M on Starship Troopers.
  
  

• A huge 590M on Jack-Bot that shook the group.
  
  

Whitney’s blend of raw power and precision vaulted her to 26 points and a spot in the Top 4. She’s coming for Diane, and everyone can feel it.

⚔️ The Brothers Bentley & the Mitch Factor

• William B and Mitch R treated fans to a duel worthy of prime-time.
  
  

• Mitch’s 851M Jack-Bot score was the highlight, but William’s wins on Elvis and Earthshaker gave him just enough to leave with 25 points (5th overall).
  
  

• Mitch isn’t far behind with 24 points, cementing himself as the dark horse of this season.
  
  

This rivalry is heating up — and the league will be watching closely.

💪 Tom B – Relentless and Resilient

Every league has a player who refuses to go quietly. Last night, that was Tom B.

• He gutted out wins on Earthshaker and Iron Man, showing grit when it mattered most.
  
  

• He walks away with 25 points (6th overall), putting himself squarely in the chase pack behind Diane.
  
  

Tom may not have had the single massive score of the night, but his steady accumulation of points screams contender.

🎯 Group Two Madness – Theresa vs. Chris vs. Rob

This pod was chaos in the best way:

• Chris L’s 169M Walking Dead score was a showstopper.
  
  

• Theresa R answered with a jaw-dropping 711M Jack-Bot, proving she can swing with the league’s best.
  
  

• Rob Y quietly stacked points, never flashy but always in the mix.
  
  

When the dust settled, three players were essentially tied in the standings, each hovering around 22 points. Expect this pod to be a storyline all season long.

🧩 Other Key Highlights

• Aaron K had flashes of brilliance but still sits mid-pack at 18 points.
  
  

• Jason J stumbled early but remains in striking range with 21.
  
  

• Shannon F continues to scrap hard, sitting at 23 and looking for a breakout week.
  
  

• Glenn, Jack, and Greg battled in the undercard, each snatching small victories to stay alive in the standings.

🏆 The ESPN Take

This league is already shaping up to be a heavyweight brawl. Diane is the clear #1, but Derek, Brittany, Whitney, William, and Tom are all circling. Mitch is lurking with knockout power, and Chris/Theresa proved they can go nuclear on any given night.

The road to the Season 12 championship isn’t a sprint, it’s a war of attrition. And after Week 2 at Rob’s Warehouse, one thing is crystal clear: this season has the makings of a classic.
