Indianapolis, IN — The 2nd Annual Indy Flickway Binho Major in Indianapolis, Indiana was one for the history books. With a fully loaded bracket of 64 competitors, more than 200 spectators in attendance, and our first-ever live broadcast drawing over 400 online viewers, the stage was set for a night of elite Binho competition under the bright lights.
Nolan Shanahan Claims His Second Major.
Fresh off his 2024 San Diego Major win, Nolan Shanahan delivered a dominant performance en route to capturing his second Major championship ring — along with the $1,000 prize purse.
Shanahan went 3–0 in group play and controlled nearly every moment in the knockout rounds, culminating in a decisive finals victory over Jose Medellin, who claimed his third runner-up finish.
“I did what I had to do, and the long hours of practice in the basement paid off.”
- Shanahan said after the win.
Shanahan lives and trains with two other Major champions: Andrew Ramey (2024 Indy Flickway Champion) and Michael Pramawat (2024 Fuego de Flicks Miami Champion).
With the win, Circle City Binho earns its fourth Major title, second only to OKC Binho Club’s five.
Familiar Names, Fierce Competition
The bracket was packed with big names and breakout performances:
-
Ryan Noe (3x Major Champion) and Charles Felipe (2x Champion, 2x Runner-Up) both went 3–0 in group play but were upset early in the knockouts. Noe fell to Michael Pramawat in the first knockout round, and Charles was eliminated by eventual champion Shanahan in the quarterfinals.
-
Defending Indy Flickway champion Andrew “American Dad” Ramey struggled in group play and did not advance — a surprise to many.
-
Shawn Laborde (Northwest Indiana Binho Club) posted a strong 3–0 in groups and entered knockouts as the #1 overall seed.
-
Jorge “Sapo” Parra showed continued growth and made a Final Four appearance — his best finish to date.
-
Chris Page, representing the original Indy Binho Club, made noise with a defensive showcase that earned him his first Final Four appearance.
Binho Competition Is Rising
This year’s Indy Flickway Major proved how far the competition has come. Players across the bracket showcased sharper strategy, tighter defense, and clutch finishes — signs of a growing, maturing Binho community.
But at the end of the day, it was experience, composure, and elite shot-making that carried Nolan Shanahan to another championship ring for both himself and Circle City Binho.
