TOURNAMENT
Professional paintball has always been an intensely competitive affair, but 2013 has seen
some incredibly intense battles between some
of the very best players and teams the sport
has ever seen. And, like it does every season,
it all comes down to World Cup. Teams in
both the PSP Champions and Challengers divisions are working harder than ever for a final
shot at glory and a spot on the podium as pro
paintball enters the home stretch. While only
a handful of teams have consistently finished
at the top at the previous PSP events in 2013,
World Cup always brings with it an intangible that draws out the very best in the players
who step inside the net there. So who might
capture gold at the 2013 PSP World Cup?
PaintballX3 breaks down some of the favorites
as we see them.

Tampa Bay Damage – after backto-back second place finishes at the first two
events in 2013 and a fifth place finish that
was well below their high standard, Damage finally earned a Gold trophy all the way
across the country at the PSP West Coast
event. Now they get to play the final event
of 2013, the World Cup, on their home turf
in Florida. Powered by Dye guns and gear
and bringing top players like Jason Edwards,
Ramzi El-Yousef and Bryan Smith inside the
net to sling paint, Damage is the favorite to
take a World Cup trophy home as they are
one of the very best and most consistent teams
in the world, because they are riding high off
a victory at the previous event and because
they have a home-field advantage.
