I played for DMG kids at world cup, my team only had 3 months to prepare for it. Before DMG Kids was created, it had been my biggest dream to play paintball with a team. Watching your videos and studying them has helped me to grow my skills and be a better team player. Looking forward to the next event (and trying tranzfuze). Thanks for the picture we took together!

Dude the editing and cinematography is amazing, easily the best gameplay video I've seen this year. I'm a SpeedQB guy, but videos like this always make me want to grab a maker and start playing paintball, sadly we only have one field in my area and they have a horrible reputation for mistreating their customers and not maintaining their field.

[@MattTheGymRat]

Thank you, and sorry to hear that about the field. It's a bummer to not have a home to ball at

[@double_dubs5333]

No one can ever top the legend Matty Boy but this guy is getting close

[@Technotranceism]

Awesome job guys, my only tip for training for the next, is always expect when moving from bunker to bunker, that someone seen you. With that in mind, never come out where they expect you to. Dive in, and if opponent is on your right with you, immediately check left first, than swing right either high, mid, or low first. Try not to use the same height with each attempt until you control the situation. If not in control, keep your eyes always on 2 people. Single opponent focus, keeps you unaware of the threat to you and your team. This tip is not to troll you guys, as I can already see the experience and companionship amongst you all. You all have good experience and communication, now focus on the multiple threat in mind, and the throw your opponent off by predicting their thoughts. Bunkers have a multitude of usable angles, make every square inch count. And, as always have fun.

[@ericcallender1575]

I see you Matt. Nice, thanks for sharing.

[@MattTheGymRat]

[@MaverickJ3W]

Go sports really need to watch some of these player content videos. They need to get with the program. First person pov cameras should be a staple on all the pro teams, while having cameras on most if not all sides of the field. They need to up the production value, and they could take some pointers from this kind of content to get more eyes on and paying subscribers. If people could watch as if they're on the field playing, I'd bet they'd triple their subs revenue. It's far more exciting to watch than just the overhead shots. They'd be able to build team storylines and narratives far easier too.

I’m more of an Airsoft guy, mostly because of the realism that comes from airsoft over paintball. It have played paintball, and I will say it hurts, but it was tons of fun.

[@MattTheGymRat]

It's more organized sport oriented but the adrenaline and fast paved game play males it authentic.

[@ianconklinmusic]

@@MattTheGymRat I agree with that. I haven’t played in that sort of paintball, I played just a regular tdm with my friends on larger maps at a place in my state (Pennsylvania) and it did give me a huge adrenaline rush since it hurts tons more than airsoft.

at 3:00 was that overshooting or is that just me

Yes but Overshooting like this happens a lot in tournaments. It's not malicious and a couple extra never hurt anyone. This would never get called by any knowledgeable ref.
