June of 2020, Black Ops in Myrtle Beach
set the scene for what would not just be an
annual scenario game but an epic testament
for the good of our sport, a testament that
saw everyone, Owner, Production Staff,
Referee crew and players, put forth an effort
to make this game an actual event. For
the year of 2020 the outlook on paintball
seemed rather bleak with the makings of a
pandemic, civil unrest and cancellation after
cancellation of some of our favorite events.
It did not seem feasible to leave our homes
let alone come together for an entire event.
The month of June brought opportunities as
areas started to open up and people started
to venture out but was it enough to bring
people together and have a game? The
unfortunate cancellation of Living Legends
made people wonder about the other events,
were they still going to happen and if so, what
precautions were going to be made. Dreaded
Legends 5, in June was on deck for the CPX
crew, were they going to make it happen or
not? The field owner of Black Ops Paintball,
Nate Gienger, made an early stand to allow
his field to remain open. It made the local
news when the Governor of South Carolina
had decided that Black Ops had taken all the
necessary precautions to keep their field
open, they were ready for Dreaded Legends.
