The Chicago PSP Heat Experience

Just got back from the Chicago PSP event. We won one against Miami...lost to the Russians and Trauma...then tied the Ironmen in the final day (Sunday). This event was big for us though...we started playing as a team with more confidence.

I have to say I'm finally starting to get my stamina back. In that type of heat it usually gets worse as the weekend progresses, but this past weekend was the opposite.

It's a beat or be beat game. It took a bit but I feel I'm starting to get that agreesiveness back in my game...and it feels good.

Playing the Russians was a fun experience. I honestly have never played a team who was so polished on the little/big things. Their snap-shooting skills were pretty impressive. I found the more I stayed in a lane waiting on a player the better opportunity they had to snap shoot me out. They never stayed in the lane waiting....well I guess their front guys never did. Anyways it was a good learning experience. One more thing...we did bounce their players every game...this is a fact told to us by the refs after the game. I know the score would have been different had we selected our paint better. Live and learn...

As for Trauma they were a tight team who capitalized on our mistakes. They forced us into their game and we seemed to tired to respond. However it was a good learning experience as well because the next day we forced our game upon the Ironmen and it worked for us. Playing our old agreesive style.

Anyways thanks for reading...I'll post more soon. PS: This photo is from www.paintballstar.com Hopefully they don't mind. Great site!
