Looks like nothing's happening this weekend as far as paintball goes, now that HotShots has postponed their 3-Man tourney that was scheduled for this weekend. That's too bad, because the weather is looking awesome. Oh well, there's always next weekend...

PB on TV Recap, Xtreme Paintball: Beyond the Paint Sept. 9th

Today is quarterfinal games. The teams that made it to Sunday at Jax are Hurricanes, Avalanche, Blast, Bushwackers, Authority, Aftermath, X-Factor, and Ironmen.
First game is Aftermath v X-Factor. Clean, conservative break for both teams. X-Factor is the first to lose a man off the field. They also don't have anyone in the snake, which allows Aftermath to push hard up the snake. Soon it's 7 on 5 in Aftermath's favor. Aftermath keeps picking off the X-Factor guys and win with 7 alive.
Next up is Hurricanes v Blast. Both teams go to the snake off break. Hurricanes lose a body right off the bat, but take S2. For the next minute there's some moving on the field, but nobody is shot out until Hurricanes eventually lose another. Next a Blast player moves up and trades out with the Hurricanes snake player. It's now a 6 on 3 battle with the advantage going to Blast. With those numbers it's not long before Blast picks off the last of the Hurricane players, despite a 1 for 1 penalty on a Blast player.
They must be nearing the end of the season and running out of shows, because after a commercial break (click on an ad here, btw!) they show highlights of some of the other quarterfinal matches. X-Factor lose to Avalanche, then a Hurricanes and X-Factor game that goes to time with both teams getting to their respective flags in a bit of a crazy 1 on 1 endgame that I'd really liked to have seen. Next on the highlight reel is Authority losing to Aftermath.
Next full game is Blast v Ironmen. Blast lose two off the break and seem to go into defensive mode and slowly get picked off until Ironmen score the win with 6 alive.
The last game of the show is Aftermath v Hurricanes. Both teams have clean breakouts. Lasoya makes a crazy move to the 50 almost immediately. But Aftermath loses a couple bodies and are unable to move up and protect Lasoya, who gets picked off shortly after making his mad move. It's a back and forth game with both sides losing bodies. After having an early advantage, the Hurricanes lose bodies until it's even again at 4 on 4. The Hurricanes may have thrown away this game. There's some more back and forth until finally it's 3 on 1 Aftermath's advantage. They quickly pick off the last Hurricanes player and win the game. Easily the best game of the show.
The next episode is SemiFinals with Aftermath, Hurricanes, Blast, and Ironmen.

HotShots 3-Man Tourney date TBD *updated*

PB on TV Sept. 9th, Xtreme Paintball: Beyond the Paint

Extreme paintball is showing Sunday games from Jax on the next episode. I almost didn't post up the preview video because they basically show you the outcome of the games, which basically ruins the whole point of watching the show, but hey, you're all grown-ups, you can decide for yourself if you want to watch a spoilerific preview or not.



Also updated the weekend planner, check it out if you're not sure what to do this weekend.

PB on TV Recap, Xtreme Paintball: Beyond the Paint Sept. 2nd

All Chris Lasoya today.
After a quick behind the paint segment we get started with an Aftermath v Ironmen game. First off, Lasoya has a pimp mask, but it doesn't seem to help as Aftermath drop 2 quick. Ironmen also lose a couple and the game stalls at 5 on 5 for a bit until Aftermath loses one of their back corners, which is a hard loss to recover from. Before long Ironmen, playing a smart, safe game, pick off the rest of Aftermath to win this game with 5 up.
Another behind the paint segment with the best quote of the season so far, "I've already put my stamp on paintball. I could probably quit playing today and be satisfied with what I've won, but I'm just not satisfied with that"
Next up is Aftermath v Naughty Dogs. The Dogs have been having an up and down season and Aftermath could win this one with some smart playing. Aftermath made a crazy move straight to S2 off the break, but lose a guy going to the corner. After some quick back and forth it's 4 on 5, followed by a 1 for 1 on the Dogs, which makes it 4 on 1. Aftermath quickly closes up the game to win.
We get to see a recap of the skills competition, and a pair of One on One games. First up Thomas Taylor eliminates Chino Carbajal. In the second one on one game Ryan Greenspan is eliminated by Chris Lasoya
We get a third match up this episode as Aftermath takes on the All Americans. All Americans lose Konstantine right off the break and Aftermath is pushing up the field being extremely aggressive. After a couple of big moves the Aftermath wins the game with 7 alive.
