It has become an annual tradition for the scenario ballers who dare to converge on Hell each May . Hell , Michigan that is . This year was no exception . Living Legends was held May 16-18 at the notorious Hell Survivors Paintball and Campground , and just to make it an extra special event , it coincided with Hell ’ s 40th Anniversary .
The games began on Friday with a Magfed tournament and mechanicalclass , pump-style center flag game . This was followed by the heated cornhole tournament .
This year , the owner ’ s of Skirmish USA , Paul and Cleo Fogal were inducted into the Paintball Hall of Fame .
Skirmish USA was one of the original tournament fields in the heyday of woodsballs , and the Fogals have run the field continuously since its opening in 1983 . The field is now the home to the largest scenario game in the world , Skirmish IoN , a reenactment of the Normandy Beach landings in World War 2 . In addition , Cleo is one of the sport ’ s original photographers , having started documenting tournaments for first paintball the magazines , and she still works events today .
Both Paul and Cleo were on the field fighting , and gave the Red team the chance to fight along true living legends of our sport .
