Iconic . In bracket two , Gridlock and Farside would surprise the number one seed Omaha Bulls , handing them a pair of back-to-back losses which knocked them off of the podium for this event . Roadies Factory would suffer at the hands of The Misfits and the Ohio Otters , slipping behind a steady NRG Elite in the third bracket . NRG would lose the third spot on the podium to Iconic by a mere one point at the end of the weekend . A heartbreak that leaves them hungry for the next one .
The slugfest really played out in the fourth bracket with the Saberwolves and Faction playing to a stalemate in their first game of the day . The Saberwolves came ahead by one body , winning 16- 13 . After that , they never looked back , making a run for a second-place overall finish , including a shock to the system of the favored Lockout , dropping them 97- 6 .
One team that slipped at this event was APE . Coming into the event as the number five seed , the Guerillas have done well at this event for the past three seasons . They gave a surprisingly lackluster showing on field , however , plagued by a few injuries and missing a few of their key players . In the end , they would scrape the bottom of the Amateur bracket . But they remained undaunted , and did not squander the opportunity to enjoy themselves . Leaving their tournament woes behind , they kept their competitive spirits alive by becoming the center of non-paintball entertainment , organizing a poker game on the outskirts of the famous mounds field that continued thought the day on Sunday , masks included .
