League Points Leader – @GrantAment
League Saves Leader – @BRiorden10
The players available for the game were already chosen, with the starters selected by fan vote and the reserves picked by the league’s players. But was it was up to Grant Ament of the Adversaries and Blaze Riorden of the Defenders to decide what the team rosters for the 2021 PLL All Star Game would look like.
After a one-round bout of rock, paper, scissors to determine who would get the first pick, Ament made the opening selection official, bringing his Archers teammate Tom Schreiber over to the Adversaries.
Here is how the roster for each team in this year’s PLL All Star Game turned out:
