Rainbow/Season 5 marked Louisville Illusionists 's revenge against the Fargo Flea Flickers . The Flickers and Illusionists both came into the Championship Series hot, and like a rematch of their Rainbow/Season 3 Cup Series struggle, it was gritty, hard-fought, and came down to the wire. The Flickers clinched first place, the Illusionists second, and both secured an appearance in the Rainbow Cup series against Phoenix Freshrolls and Salt Lake Turbulence .

Whatever extra wind the Flea Flickers had at their back to help them tip the scales in their Rainbow/Season 3 victory, the Illusionists now had at theirs, as the tables turned disastrously for the Flickers early on. Unlike their prior surge from behind, the Flickers kept slipping, watching from a distant fourth as the Illusionists secured their first Rainbow Cup series victory and brought the franchise's first Cup to Louisville.

With their distant fourth place finish to their rivals' first place, Fargo's defeat to Louisville was not a mere ephemeral pattern, but a crushing blow with cosmic intent, imbuing the Fargo-Louisville rivalry with deep meaning.
