DAILY PUMP

Been a bit quiet on the pump front recently but were back with a sweet little video from the guys at KanyFilms with some footage of the Nor-Cal Fuzion D2 team.

Me and Al have had our eyes on the Fuzion camp for a bit now and they seem to be doing things right when it comes to pushing their plays to the next level. Shame they missed out on a spot in the PSP Challengers division, but I'm sure with the effort they're putting in, they should be pushing for a spot for the 2014 season.

This is only their D2 teams Dallas highlights and the D1 teams vid should be dropping soon. Pretty sure that'll get a DailyPump spot too!

PSP MAO FIELD UP

The PSP just upped pics of the Mid Atlantic Open field, and it's another crazy one!

There is a back centre this time, but it's not one that the larger back players have been praying for....It's a small cake! Looks like no one is gonna be stacking people up in that for delayed breakouts so maybe this I'd gonna be another aggressive field?

The D-side is looking pretty good too with plenty options. There's even a row of stand up cans just infield of the D's to block a few lanes, or maybe even nip into for the more adventurous players?!

Snake side is a bit different as there are some good stop off points at the mini race's, but the 50 D is gonna freak some of the snake boys out! It's on the wrong tape!!! Ha, sure they'll figure it out, but one things for sure, once they get into that point every gun on the field is gonna turn onto them!

Some other interesting bits are dotted about, and I wonder if more people are gonna take advantage of the centre race this time. Only a few teams used it to their advantage in Dallas, but when they did, it seemed to work real good. What do you kit think? Any crazy breakouts or plans that come to mind? Drop us a comment and let us know your top plays...

NEW MAVERICK FOR TOPGUN

I know, I know that's the worst title you ever read! But it's kinda true? T1 Topgun Union (now Trenton Topgun Union) have just announced that they have managed to re-sign an ex superstar player. Ryan Martin of the LA Ironmen is returning home to the team that he helped kick some major ass with during the 2011 PSP season.

Now that Topgun have popped up into the new Challengers bracket they're gonna need some established Pro blood to give them that boost they need and smooth the transition, especially after loosing a couple of their more experienced players.

Look out for Ryan Martin smashing the D-side in the first Challengers event. Hopefully the guys over at Paintball Access will bring us some of the Challengers bracket action at the upcoming Mid Atlantic Open early next month. It should be a real interesting division!

DAILY PUMP

So the boys of Upton 187 Crew didn't do too well at Dallas, but it still doesn't stop them being one hell of an entertaining team! They've always been one of my favorites cos everybody loves an underdog, plus they tend to leave it all on the line. They push like crazy and that to me is good entertaining balling!

Here's Social paintballs latest vid covering 187 at Dallas and damn they make them look pretty good. Not too sure on this season new colours, compared to last years 187 jerseys, but I guess that's personal taste. Anyway check it out ...

I CAN'T ALWAYS BE RIGHT!

So rumour has it that the last Challengers team isn't in fact going to Oakland Fuzion who my money was on, but instead is allegedly going to be...... San Jose Royalty.

Fair enough I suppose as they are coached by the legend that is Shane Pestana and from the looks of their latest practice vid on YouTube, can hang with the big dogs.

This isn't fully confirmed yet so Fuzion could still be in with a shout. If they are out then good luck to Royalty and I'm sure Fuzion will get their shot sooner or later.

CHALLENGERS (ALMOST) READY

Next up to join the challengers ranks is Dave Bains little project team Sacramento DMG. These dudes have only been around since the start of the 2012 season and already they've proven to be a force!

In their first year they already won the MAO and then last month took the title at Dallas. With Dave Bains as owner and coach and a pretty strong roster, these are probably the favorites to give the pro teams their biggest fright. Good luck DMG.

THERE'S A STORM BREWING...

God damn I was right for once! Only 24 hours ago news broke the T1 Topgun Union was the first D1 team to be upgraded to the new PSP Challengers division. Well it looks like they've chosen another team to join them.

Enter Texas Storm! They've only been around for like 24 years now showing People that Texas could ball long before the X-Factor guys burst onto the scene. I remember watching these guys on some of the old Traumahead Sportz vids back in the day and they always looked pretty good for a D1 team. 

Well it's time for em to step up and see if they can hang with the big boys, cos with teams like XSV, Vicious and Upton 187 Crew already waiting there for them, it's gonna be a steep learning curve!

Good luck to Texas Storm, now lets see if my Oakland Fuzion prediction also comes true ;)

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.

Well the first of the new five official PSP Challengers team has been announced today! And, it's...... T1 Topgun Union. Guess no one saw that coming seeing as they finished last year ranked 1st in the div 1 league. But hey, at least we know the first team for sure now.

Topgun played some good ball at Cup but didn't manage a win in Dallas. Still, they didn't go into a flat spin this time and lose Goose.... Guess we all knew that was coming sooner or later.

Anyway good luck this year Topgun. Sure they're gonna put the willies up some of the ex top tier teams who've been forced down to the challengers division.

Who else do you think deserves a shot? Texas Storm maybe? What about new Div 1 team Fuzion who placed 4th at Dallas. Bet their new blood and hunger would be good to watch. Let us know with a comment or hit us up on twitter @gfhpropaganda
