Today was the day we’ve been waiting for — the Upstate Action Park X-Ball League Finals!
We started the day off on the wrong foot. We were late to the box, dealing with equipment issues, and honestly, we weren’t as prepared as we should have been. Our first match against Buffalo Wing It was a struggle, and we took the loss.
But in typical Hooligans fashion, sometimes we need to take a couple welts to get motivated, clear our heads, and remember what we’re capable of. We took what we could from those early losses, regrouped, and started working together as a team.
From there, we kept pushing, hitting harder and playing smarter through the remaining matches. That momentum carried us into the finals, where we battled for a third-place finish before facing the Upstate Avalanche for the chance at first or second.
Avalanche had already proven themselves to be a fierce competitor, and the match ended in a tie — sending us into sudden-death overtime.
The Hooligans dug deep and came out on top! 💪🔥
🏆 1st Place for the Day
🥉 3rd Overall for the Season
We couldn’t be more proud of this team and how we fought back today.
A huge THANK YOU to all of our supporters for the encouragement, messages, and cheers throughout the season. It means more than you know.
And thank you to Upstate Action Park for hosting an incredible event and for continuing to do great things for our sport and our local paintball community. We’re proud to be part of it!
Now we take this momentum and carry it with us to Maryland for the ICPL Classic Cup. We’re hungry, we’re motivated, and we’re not done yet.
Hooligans are coming. 💀🔥
