I Played the Cheapest Paintball Tournament

[@MattTheGymRat]

What is the cheapest tournament you ever played?

[@jaelenbwalls]

had a free entry, free paint tournament MSXL 2024. pays to win back to back events!

[@Bruhn_Doe]

We got a golden ticket to play in the NXL Minor in Sacramento we just paid for paint and maybe IDs?

[@anjuden]

Chosen 4 pump tournament in so cal. It’s about 275 for a team entry and a case of paint per person

[@MattTheGymRat]

Like this comment to make sure your calves don't shrink

[@Man_in_a_Van]

Yeahhhh i cant have that. I already gots me some chicken legs. Haha.

A moment of silence for Matt's brief moment in Pro Elite division

[@MattTheGymRat]

It was nice while it lasted

[@cjyttyjc9227]

15:27 is one of my favorite quotes about Paintball of all time. Thanks for sharing your wisdom Matt and Friends

[@MattTheGymRat]

Brad has a way with words

[@slashins]

IM DOING SOMETHING, pls get the snake, IM DOIN SOMETHING! Tim robinson reference is hilarious

[@MattTheGymRat]

I wish I knew it before editting 😂

[@MattTheGymRat]

I'm going to be honest... I think there is cheaper tournaments. Let's find out.

[@LethalBlanket]

Fantastic video! I miss playing paintball so much. Hyperball was definitely one of my favorites to play! Just something about the sound of the paint hitting the bunkers.

[@MattTheGymRat]

@@LethalBlanket You're not alone. I think myself and almost every guy at that tournament likes hyperball more than anything

[@FitzShotz]

the boys > everything

[@MattTheGymRat]

That math checks out

[@tylerrobinson6158]

Lol that ref was like brilliant with using his mask to see the player.

[@MattTheGymRat]

It was awkward because I knew I was staring into his sole on his end

[@DanielKimbril]

Just to confirm the player in the snake that got shot with Matt shooting over top of the mound was one of my guys and he knew he was there only because of the reflection off of the rest mask!!

[@MattTheGymRat]

@@DanielKimbril clarity for the viewers

[@chasesf1]

NOOO ! That’s me on Tantrum in the Leopard jersey falling at 6:35….im playing with gout in the foot. Wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy 😅

[@MattTheGymRat]

@@chasesf1 dude that's awful! Those 10 man matches can be brutal on your body but that's next level

[@chasesf1]

@ Yeah man, that’s one reason we aka Tantrum haven’t been around much for x ball. Health and life stuff when you’re main line is pushing 40 years old🤣 but we still get out for mechanical events. Definitely playing the retro 5 man tho! Hopefully in better health 🤣✊

[@MattTheGymRat]

@@chasesf1 I hear you man. I plan to be out there that weekend

[@kelseyrivera3588]

Hell yea babe ❤️‍🔥🤗 let’s goooo 💪🏼🫶🏼👏🏼❤️

Amazing!! I've always wanted to do a mech or 10man tourney they always look like loads of fun!!

[@MattTheGymRat]

It's slow but man is it fun and super affordable

[@controlledbypaintball2308]

Always a pleasure sharing the field with you bro!

[@MattTheGymRat]

@@holdengraham9393 glad you enjoyed it brother. Trying to always make the vids a little better everytime

[@Shellda]

“Insert back in my day paintball story here”. 😂😂😂. Things were a little cheaper back then.

[@MattTheGymRat]

@@Shellda we all have a moment we can pull that thing out 🤣

[@dwibble1673]

You should try making a video about woodsball

[@MattTheGymRat]

I've got a couple coming in 2025

[@DyeSM1]

i live down the street. But im trying my best to get back into paintball, not sure how i missed this but i did. Its also been cold as hell here.

[@MattTheGymRat]

It was 25 degrees that day... coldest tournament I have ever played

[@verbhal]

PEANLTY!!!!

[@MattTheGymRat]

I negotiated our way out of that one

[@mateoalvarado7900]

Greetings from Colombia bro, nice videos!!!

Thank you, Mateo

[@justinholtzclaw5950]

Yo Matt, great video. Just got a brand new shocker era , and also Sad to see that there is no chicago tournament for the upcoming season, hopefully we can meet up at a different event.

[@MattTheGymRat]

@@justinholtzclaw5950 that's awesome and yeah it's a bummer but Cincinnati should he cool Never been there

[@justinholtzclaw5950]

@ yea but hopefully I can make it out to one closer like Cincinnati and maybe even play in it.

[@Enaaz13]

thanks matt

[@SleepyInvaderZ]

I see your using the Etha 3M the GOATED standard upped emek. Traded my shocker AMP for one and haven't regretted it. It can shoot everything from Valken Infinity that sat for two years in my attic (shell feels like glass $40 case) or Ultra Evil. I've broken maybe 3 balls total in the barrel not the breech. Getting a Infamous Murder Machine Gen 4 and a I.D. Secret Pin to make sure I can keep up with the X-ball guns during open play! Love the content, my calves are HUGE thx to you Matty! #anotherdeposit

[@MattTheGymRat]

the Etha 3M is the best. Cesare over there at UltraSilk made that thing perfect. I wish I could use it in speedball.

[@StarkhPaintball]

"turn it on nerd" XDDD

[@MattTheGymRat]

@@StarkhPaintball got to love my friends 🤣

[@Question_Marked]

Looks like a nice old school place to play

[@MattTheGymRat]

It is and everyone loves to play here. This tournament sold out in less than 10 minutes this year.

[@AustinIrizarry-zv2zt]

What barrel camera are you using

Can you drop a video on how to fully upgrade the etha 3m because I just got one and was interested in what I should upgrade

Wait, so you’re done with Greenville

[@sixto5752]

Idk what that means but ok 😂

[@MattTheGymRat]

I learned that day 😂

[@mikesully21]

If I got shot, I’d just fall down and play dead the rest of the match.

[@MattTheGymRat]

If you didn't get a penalty for that it would work

[@mikesully21]

refs need to be more chill. Imagine looting the players you killed mid match.

[@envov]

Your wrong leg is up on the start at 0:12. You only lose a step, so in the grand scheme of things it's a minor detail, but I would like to critique if that's okay. Notice how you can't swing the arm with the marker in it until after you've already taken a step. If you had your right leg in front of you instead of your left leg, you're running mechanics would be sound off the whistle.

[@MattTheGymRat]

You're right. For standard sprinting that is what you want, and I have used it before, but I have gone back and forth with this. For paintball when you're carrying gear and a marker along with having to have the marker touch a crowded box it is more convenient to have that stance. That's my reasoning for doing it but I don't disagree with you.

[@envov]

@@MattTheGymRat Thank you for the insight! I can see how different box formations/crowding can affect how you setup. Personally my balance becomes unstable using the other method. Also, thank you for the content. I enjoy your cheap paintball marker tournament videos!

[@godfilmz]

Dang I might just enter a 10 man

[@MattTheGymRat]

@@godfilmz bro... 6 of the guys on the team hadn't played a tournament in over a year. If they can do it, you can too.
