In just under two weeks we're travelling to the island of Langkawi in Malaysia for the 2015 Paintball World Cup Asia. This year will be STK's 7th World Cup Asia. The buildup to WCA is always anxious as the competition is stiff with many of the best teams from the Asia Pacific in attendance.
The leadup to this World Cup Asia, we've practiced hard as we always have, but I've really come to realise that we have literally done everything we possibly can to have success at this event, not just this year, but every year leading to now. We are not a team with a lot of resources. We borrow from and support each other to scrape our way to practice every week and attend these events. There's no real backing or management to our team, and any success we have had in our small corner of the Paintball world is just from working together and being friends.
We've had a good year so far; we won in Thailand and we've continued our winning streak at the local Perth series. We have only not won maybe 5 events of the 40 or so local events we've played since 2009. We had some problems on Day 1 in Singapore which prevented us from reaching the semi-finals, but we've talked the issues through over and over and I hope we can present to WCA 2015 a more confident STK right from game one.
Dye continues to support us with the best gear and we're looking forward to some of us having the new Dye M2 to shoot at the event.
