During Pro 9, the Shinobi Pro 9 roster featured a balanced mixture of play-making veterans as well as rookie sleepers. Although underrated through the beginning of their first season, Shinobi quickly managed to earn respect game after game, and shook the league up when they managed to take down the undefeated powerhouse, RoadRunners, in week 5 of the Pro 9 regular season. The ninja would finish with a regular season record of 5-1, but ultimately fell short during the second round of the playoffs against the formidable Goon Squad team. During Pro X, Shinobi would earn a regular season record of 5-1, including a tough win against the undefeated HeadHunters in the final week of the regular season, and secure the 2nd seed to the playoffs. However, they would fall yet again, just a game short of the championship stage against team Grinderz. Tragic. This year, Shinobi will be retaining a familiar core group of players, with some newly added weapons on both sides of the ball, and looks to be a contender for the title (on paper).
