PB on TV Recap, Xtreme Paintball: Beyond the Paint August 26th

The show highlights Thomas Taylor this week, so we get to see some XSV games.
After a long behind the paint section we get to the first match-up, XSV v Tampa Bay Damage. Tampa Bay looked asleep at the light when the game starts, but hold their own for a bit and the game doesn't go anywhere for a minute or so until Junior Brown for XSV makes a powerful move up the dorito side, taking out a couple of Tampa Bay players and allowing XSV to quickly close up the game except for a brief 1 on 3 at the end where XSV almost throws it all away.
More behind the paint stuff.
Next up XSV take on the New England Hurricanes. Both teams have a good break out with Hurricanes getting a guy (Billy Bernacchia) all the way to S2 right away while shooting Thomas Taylor out of XSV's S1. The Hurricanes continue to play well slowly picking XSV players off until it's 1 on 6, winning the game with 6 alive.
It's time for more 1 on 1 skills challenges. Today it's quarter finals.
First up Thomas Taylor eliminates Rusty Glaze
Next Chino Carbajal eliminates Chris Lasoya
Finally Ryan Greenspan eliminates Josh Ouimet who was in the quarter finals as a wild card, as you'll remember Josh was eliminated by Chino on the August 19th show.
Lastly we get one more game, XSV v DC Arsenal. Good breakouts on both sides. XSV takes S2 early on. Arsenal drops a body on the dorito side pretty early. After some back and forth the Arsenal snake guy moves up to the XSV 40, which is a little too far, too early and gets picked off by XSV. After that it all falls apart for Arsenal and XSV quickly finish the game with 6 bodies alive.
Next week is Chris Lasoya, see you then.
