The competition seemed to be dead even,
until the Marauders overcame the Buccaneers
and took ground that would not be taken back.
The Marauders had finally, barely taken control
of the battle, working every second to keep the
blue team at bay. The relentless Buccaneers
would not go quietly with their heads down,
they charged into battle, being led by a man
with a Teddy Bear head and a Vanilla Gorilla,
only to meet a wall of Marauders ready to
demolish dreams. All players throughout the
weekend fought as though it was their first
and last event. They fought with pride and
sportsmanship! There is rarely a game with
so many smiling and thankful faces, thankful
that paintball is back, and that their life is back.
Thank you to all the CPX staff that created
this game, spent hours writing missions and
creating props, thank you for bringing us the
opportunity to play. Thank you Black Ops
Paintball for your impeccable facilities and
always putting the player first. Thank you to
the Refs of Solstice Law for keeping us safe,
keeping us honest and keeping the game fun,
it is not the same without you. Thank you to
Inspire Photography and Pirate Beard Images
for making us look like heroes and providing us
the ability to share with our families. Thank
you dear players for keeping this sport what it
is, the good and the bad, we as a community
keep this sport alive. We cross many, many man
made barriers for the love of this sport and this
community, proving that it is not what’s behind
the mask but what’s in our hearts that keep us
together. Congratulations to all who made it to
this event, you made it a successful event and
congratulations to Mamba and the Marauders
for setting the CPX Legends record for the
biggest comeback win over the Buccaneers. I
hope to see all of you at Dreaded Legends 6 in
beautiful, sunny Myrtle Beach.
