last brawl to decide who reaches eternal glory and who goes home . The only thing that was left in the air is which team managed to convince that band of savages , the CHAR , to fight for them and what did they promise ? Most players were unaware that throughout the weekend there was a list of objectives slowly built up as a tribute to the CHAR and was delivered to the production company . The teams had to gather codes , crates and material to eventually carry 60 + lbs crates of goodies across the field . The Corean Consortium successfully collected and delivered their box of treats for the CHAR and gained their assistance for the final battle . As the different teams lined each side of the field , 500 + people on both sides looked off at a horde of opponents and spin sticks adorned with each teams ’ color in the middle of the field .
As the seconds ticked down bloodlust , rage and adrenaline pumped through the veins of each savage brute that stacked that field . They all wanted death and dominance . When the horn ripped through the air warriors thunder down the field in chase of glory and savagery . Players took their shot , one at a time or as part of a team , to spin the stick to their team ’ s color . Sometimes they achieved their goal and sometimes they came up with nothing but a tenderizing assault from the other side , either way these players walk away legends . Both sides fought hard for thirty minutes in this tug of war with no side truly dominating . As the horn ended the final battle , and the game , hundreds of thousands of paintballs had been fired , gallons of sweat and blood had been poured out and both teams were tired , beaten and ecstatic about it . Whether it be a win or a loss , every player fought hard and every player walked away a winner and a legend !
