Several weeks ago, we played the 4th round of the TK series at WASP Paintball in Canning Vale. Again, being a local tournament, we were disappointed with our performance and failed to bring the intensity that we normally play with. We finished 4th. It's the worst finish we've had in Australia for a long time. It's a little disconcerting after coming off our big win in the Philippines, but in some respects it's good as we're all keen to work harder and hopefully take the local tournaments more seriously. Admittedly we had some bad luck as well; there was only 5 prelim games, and small things like a gun going down -- or a penalty -- are compounded and have a huge effect on the final placings.
The following week we played the Dash 3man. Our team consisted of me, Rambo, Timmy and Griff. We really just wanted to have a good time and enjoy playing paintball; especially after having to drag ourselves to the paintball field and struggle to get motivated the week before.
We were greeted by another excellent Cage event, DASH does such a great job with these. It got us all in the mood to play. Also, it was at Langley Park, a prominent place in the Perth CBD. Playing here was really cool and our friends and family were able to come down and watch us play.
We managed to take first place and win $1000 cash. My dad even came down and watched the entire afternoon, it was really great to have him see us win!
