Photo By Thomas McDaniel Day two of Dreaded Legends 5 was met with the same beautiful weather as day one but was also met with a very different point spread. The Buccaneers had walked away with the game on day one building a 1700 point lead. The Marauders were not to be deterred, they were out of the house, they were shooting faces and they were in Myrtle Beach, it was a new day and it was a new starting point for the team. Pirate soldiers from both sides blazed the field with the same, if not more, intensity as day one. Both teams were eager and both teams were out for glory. The Buccaneers, not taking the Marauders lightly, especially after the results of day one, were hunted down early and quickly as the red team showed early dominance. The Marauders did not allow the points difference to sway them, they struck fiercely and efficiently, they were seeking vengeance, to prove that day one was but a fluke. The Buccaneers were quickly pinned into their base with no hope of release unless they fought, and fought hard. They took every opportunity given by the ref staff, Solstice Law, and by the Production staff, helo drop after helo drop and they were unable to gain ground, Mamba’s red team had every gap sealed. The Marauders did not just leave their dominance on the field, they also swept all the High Seas battles for day two. The point spread began to diminish quickly as the red team had a glimmer, just a chance to pull off this unheard of victory. The Buccaneers, not seeing much success behind their weapons, did manage to find success on day two as they defeated Marauders in battleship, this was seen as the shot that may have capsized the Marauders fleet securing a Buccaneer victory. The Marauders continued their reign throughout day two. They dominated the field and the points for that day but it could not have been enough points to usurp the Buccaneers? The blue team had victory pumping through their veins and the Marauders smelled blood in the 030 paintball.media magazine
