The European series came to a close with an enormous uproar as teams descended on Ace Paintball in central- France for one last time in 2023 . To add bluster to the impending storm , the event was held alongside the United Paintball Federation tournament , which drew teams from around the globe .
The community in Druex dates back to the Roman era . The land there has seen wars fought between Gallic tribes , assaults by the Heugnotts during the great Wars of Religions , and the roll tide of the Allies following the Invasion of Normandy . Forged by battles , this town was the perfect place for the clash of paintball Titans that arrived 30 August through 3 September .
Pro Division
Coming out of the pre-lims , it was the TonTons , Joy , and Breakout Spa at the top of the leader board with Virst Factory nipping at their heels .
But the drama did come in fierce as underdog Austin FSU managed to hand a surprise defeat to Breakout Spa , and the favorite Paris Camp Carnage was denied a birth into the quarters by Gladiatori Unicusano . The Italians would move on to an absolute annihilation at the hands of Virst . In the Ochos it was Austin who would come out ahead , giving them their first podium of the season with their win over Ronholt Dynamite .
After a firestorm of competition with Joy Division , The TonTons of France came out on top of the Pro Division , once again .
Semi Pro
The French have been dominating the Semi Pro series , and that trend continued with Scalp , Indians , and Toulouse Purple sailing into the Semi finals along with an American squad of young all-stars who were in attendance for the UPBF tournament , Freedom and Independence .
