California paintball is renowned for its intense tournament competition and for epic renegade ball , so when the two worlds collide for a scenario matchup , dramatic competition can be anticipated . And what better backdrop than SC Village in Chino ?
With 100-acres of fields designed with a theatrical , immersive experience in mind , SC Village has been continually raising the bar in paintball since 1984 .
Decay of Nations is no exception to that tradition . Now in its 17th year , the story of this scenario centers around two factions - Ekron and Una - engaged in an ongoing , intergalactic war . This year , Team Ekron was headed by the honorary general Tom Cole . His XOs were a collection of California heavy-hitters including , Edd , aka “ Grim ”, Gabriel “ T-Devil ” Frias and Walter “ Buttercup ” from the 13th Legionnaires , Noah Herrick of Those Paintball Guys , and Callista Fowler who was unable to attend due to a last minute medical emergency , but sent her husband Brent in her stead .
Team UNA ’ s commander this year was legend Billy Ceranski . He was supported by some of the Decay OGs themselves , The Psycho Clown Posse who always represent heavy . This year one of their own , Sticky , would be called upon to run Team UNA . Sticky was joined by Jose “ Reaper ” Barajas of the Gamma Gladiators , Kid Loop , James “ Lazy Fox ” making his return to the UNA command staff from last year , and Lurch hailing from Phoenix , Arizona .
