A look at an elite
scenario team
Before we get started, it is important that I tell you
all that Yeti Squad is a faction of SAS Wisconsin.
SAS stands for Silent Assassin Squad and that is a
MASSIVE paintball community which, as I understand
it, has about two and a half thousand members in
twelve different countries. The SAS puts honour and
sportsmanship above all else and that’s why Mike
Goodeve and all the players of Yeti Squad are proud
members of the SAS.
We are here today though, to talk about Mike’s elite
sixteen players that form Yeti Squad. Yes, I said elite…
because they are. Not just anyone can be a part of Yeti
Squad. Many ask. You must be invited however, and
then you must pass probation. This is nonnegotiable.
Why? Because Yeti Squad takes scenario games
seriously. There is a reason why they are one of
this most sought-after scenario teams in paintball.
They legitimately want to win. They are driven to
win. I honestly believed that this was exclusively a
tournament mentality and big scenario games were
more just for the fun of it. I am happy to say that I
believed wrong.
Yeti Squad started out of a desire to play alongside
like minded, competitive players. As I am sure you
all know, there are many types of paintball players
out there with various degrees of dedication. That
is the amazing thing about paintball. There is room
for everyone with every conceivable playing style.
