Ontario Paintball League Season Opener.
The Ontario Paintball League and Behind the Bunker started the 2017 Canadian paintball season with a blast this past weekend at Flag Raiders Paintball. Clear skies and 20 degrees Celsius was perfect weather for the first event of the year.
D3 Summary - There was excellent play from all teams, but it's evident that the
Momentum organization came out to play. Momentum showed a strong push up the
middle of the field, and great composure throughout tight situations. During
the final match, Momentum had to fight off a last minute comeback effort from
Attrition, lead by Ben Challenger and Derek Thompson. Attrition's 'buzzer
beating' efforts were no match for Momentum’s consistency, artfully
demonstrated by Travis Brake, Zak Carless, David Tandory, and Andre Gravelle.
D4 Summary - Cambridge Raiders played 5-alive, methodical paintball all weekend
long, but with the NXL Las Vegas Layout clearly favouring the middle of the
field, the Raiders back play was no match for Momentum's middle push. Look for
Ontario Rush and Stratford Storm to be hungry at the next event as they strive
to be at the top of the podium.
D5 Summary - With 17 teams competing in Division 5, it was a grueling battle for the
Hustlers, The Bandits and Corruption to fight their way to the top 3. Complements
to team Corruption, lead by the offence of Matt Hogan on their Division 5
x-Ball win.
D500 Summary- With the help of Planet Eclipse, the debut of the D500 - Beginner 5-man
was a hit. Congratulations to Momentum Goon Squad on winning the first ever
D500 event hosted by the OPL! The Toronto Charger organization is known to
be one of the most competitive camps in all of Ontario. With just one Chargers
team finding themselves in the top 3 (Chargers Red), expect them to be unhappy
with their placings in Event 1 and aiming for the podium at the next
event.
"The players were pleasantly
surprised with the high end quality of the new Etha 2's we lent out in our
beginner division."
