The East City Brawlers, a grav-ball team hailing from the planet Lothal, were notorious for their formidable presence. Their lineup included two powerful fullbacks, and their coach was recognized for devising strategies that were anything but conventional.
In a game against the AppSci SaberCats, the Brawlers employed aggressive maneuvers that typically would have resulted in penalties. However, the referee overlooked these infractions. Later in the match, the referee controversially ejected a SaberCats player for supposedly attacking a Brawler, despite the fact that the Brawler was the instigator of the physical altercation.
