"Anywhere you go today you see a paintball gun."
The 13-episode season finishes with the finals of the Boston NPPL event featuring San Diego Dynasty and Los Angeles Infamous.
The first game of the finals starts with a Dynasty losing two on the break and Infamous dropping one. Infamous starts aggressively and their better field position keeps Dynasty from getting into the snake. Despite its advantage of numbers, Infamous isn't able to control the doritos and Dynasty sneaks one player through who is able to eliminate 3 Infamous players, giving Dynasty a 4-3 lead. Things slow down as the teams fight for position and try to figure out who is out. Dynasty is able to grab the snake and pushes hard up the field, and a run trhough results in a trade off, keeping Dynasty's lead at one man. Then, after a few rushes and some controversy, the refs call a one-for-one on Dynasty which results in a draw. Infamous argued for a two-for-one on Dynasty which would have resulted in an Infamous victory, but after the dust settled, the first game is a draw.
Game two starts with a clean break for both teams, but infamous loses two players from long shots by Dynasty. Leading 7-5 Dynasty plays it safe and doesn't push hard and they succeed in hitting a third Infamous player. Infamous, trying to turn the tables makes a hard run, but he's hit before getting to Dynasty, giving Dynasty a 7-3 advantage. With the huge advantage in numbers, Dynasty methodically marches up the field, picking off one Infamous player before a run gets the last two, giving Dynasty the perfect 7-0 win.
With Infamous down one game, the pressure's on them to pull out the victory. On the break Infamous aggressively pushes up the field, but then two Dynasty long shots take out two Infamous players. Dynasty then rushes up the field which results in a trade off, leaving Dynasty up 6-5. Infamous loses another back player and Dynasty really starts to move forward, hitting two more Infamous players while losing only one. With a 5-1 advantage, Dynasty walks forward and finishes off the game, giving them the tournament victory and $25,000. Los Angeles Infamous finishes up in second and Stockholm Joy takes third.
The run of the show is over, but hopefully people took note. Paintball will never be a spectator sport like football or basketball, but the infrequent TV exposure will hopefully encourage more people to try out this extreme sport.
