'Who are the Seawolves' biggest rivals?'

'A match between the Seawolves and the San Diego Legions is always a heated affair. In the first season in 2018, the Seawolves started their campaign against the Legions winning both home games against them, including a semifinal that knocked the Legions out of the tournament. In 2019, the Legions were the only team that beat the Seawolves in both the home and away fixtures. However, it was the Seawolves who had the final say as they edged out Legions in the final of the Championship by a narrow margin of 26 to 23.'
