Week 4 was the tightest night of the PSL season so far, and the scheduling overlap with WST São Paulo added a layer of chaos before the first trick was even thrown. Technical issues caused delays throughout the evening, and several rosters were forced to adapt on the fly.

Match #1 — Tropics vs. SHS
The Tropics came in with two fresh faces — co-captain Ishod Wair and Alec Majerus joining the lineup for the first time. The additions gave the team a noticeable boost, while SHS struggled to find their rhythm, with Johnny Hernandez having a particularly tough night.
A one-point win for the Tropics, and with it, they became the first team to officially clinch a playoff spot this season.
The WST hangover was real for Los Santos. Felipe Gustavo made the trip back from Brazil after being eliminated in the qualifiers, but it wasn't enough. Ryan Decenzo, meanwhile, stayed in São Paulo to commentate and never made the trip back.
The bigger story was Zach Saraceno finally stepping on his board for Lithium — and delivering. His team secured their first win of the season in another one-point thriller.
Micky Papa flew back from Brazil after being eliminated in the quarterfinals at WST, suiting up just in time for a match that came down to the wire. Braden Hoban wasn't as committed — the Lithium skater stayed in Brazil after his own elimination and never made the trip back.
The Wolverines edged the Soldiers by a single point and clinched their own playoff spot in the process.
