Well we're just about to reach the middle of 2010 and I'll admit that I was mistaken when I thought I'd left the paintball nightmares behind in 2009. Though we had a great start to our 2010 paintball season as a team, winning MPOC leg 1, 4th in Leg 2 and picking up the Angel A1 Fly as our main marker sponsor, things came crashing to a halt within days of MPOC leg 2. I've only just come to learn the truth behind much of the mystery that resulted in our team's markers being caught in a web of misinformation, misfortune and misery and I can only laugh at what goes on in the world of paintball on this side of the world. Unfortunately the laughter masks the despair and anger. To be continued...

Not letting the crappy things in paintball let me down I've been on a solo mad run of paintball tournaments starting with the Sultan of Kedah Cup and every 2 weeks after that playing tournaments... MPOC, MY-NPL and CPCL. This week is MPOC Leg 4 so back to KL I go with my brothers from team ZOO. Guesting for other teams like Dark Angels and SiR has been not only great fun but educational. Not only have i been able to play different and higher ranked teams but I've also managed to learn how other teams approach games and tournaments. While my individual skills probably haven't improved, I have been learning from stupid on-field mistakes and picking up tips from other players. There's always something new to learn and I'm always one to try and improve my game by taking advice from others. Playing so many tournaments also helps your field awareness and of course watching how the better teams play and how they win is always inspirational.


I was asked to trial the new .50 cal GI Milsim Nano marker this weekend and would have gladly given it a go if not for our sponsor commitment - hopefully I'll get to try it out in the chrono booth to see how it shoots. All the players from team ZOO will be finally shooting Angel A1 Flys at MPOC. While some of our markers are still stuck with the JB Police, we have been lucky enough, thanks to our sponsors Angel Paintball Sports Asia, to secure enough Angels for this weekend so we no longer have to borrow spare markers from other teams. This will be a huge relief to all the guys since the nightmare of our last MPOC tournament where we had a gun down in almost every game including the quarter finals. Some of our MPOC opponents have been lucky enough to have already played the field so as usual we will have to quickly learn the ins and outs of how we should best play the layout. We're all looking forward to showing what we're made of.
