Pro Finals
The three-team Pro ten versus ten finals featured Chicago Aftershock and Farside, two regulars to the ICPL podium over the years— and the OG Hurricanes, playing their first ICPL event.
First up, Farside won a stalemate game over the OG Hurricanes 21-15, leaving both team variable due to the low point totals in the game. Aftershock then beat the Hurricanes 95-10, setting up a final game for first place between Aftershock and Farside— two Midwest teams with rich histories. To win the event, Farside needed a high point win. Either a flag-pull and body count win or an outright flag hang max. they got neither, as‘ Shock was able to slow the pace and control the game and the clock. Aftershock wore down Farside, winning the game with a mere 15 points to Farside’ s 12.
Chicago Aftershock wins the season’ s first Pro ten versus ten ICPL event.
Ten Versus Ten Amateur Games
The Amateur ten versus ten has seen some turnover of teams for this first event of the 2025 season. Most of the top teams from last year were here in Maryland but the middle and bottom of the division has a good number of new teams. AAF, least year’ s rankings title winner got off to a surprisingly bad start to the 2025 season with only two wins in their eight preliminary round games— clearly not enough to advance to the semifinals. Lockout, last season’ s running up in the year end rankings fared no better, also with two max wins. www. paintball. media
