PALS Thailand 2011

We wanted to avoid coming 10th like last year so this time we didn't get sucked into Thailand and party for 3 days straight before the tournament. It worked better for us with us finishing in the top 4 this time lol.

This week has been really great, I've had a lot of fun with the team and Bangkok is a strange but cool place. We have eaten great food and squeezed a lot into the non-paintball time we've had.

The tournament itself was superb. Well run and a great turnout of teams.

We played this leg with only 6 of us -- no Griffin or Luke as they were stuck working. It was a little hard on us at times in the heat. Thankfully our Ronin and Datis friends, and other teams helped us a lot in the pits. And Sandie, our super coach.

We finished the prelims with 4 wins, 1 draw and a loss. This sent us into the quarter finals against Persian Legend. They are a strong team and it was a hard game but everyone played well and we were able to come out on top, putting us in the top 4.

It was a long and hard game, and there was only a 10 minute break between this game and our semi-final match against Infernal. Infernal was playing extremely well, and not really having time to recover from the previous match made it harder too. They beat us and that left us to play SWAT for 3rd and 4th.

SWAT had our number and beat us convincingly leaving us with 4th.

We're pretty much just happy it's not 10th again... Thailand isn't our achilles heel lol.

Our Dye gear was amazing and Steve at the Dye booth is a champ.

TK Round 2 2011

On Sunday we played the second round of the TK series. We had cut our roster down to just the 6 of us that are going to Thailand. It made a huge difference for a local 5-man tournament not having to rotate 8 guys. We were able to get into the STK groove easily and took 1st place.


 Our NT11's are shooting so sweet now that they have had a chance to break in.
