37 relegation game) by a combined score of 219. Houston Heat will be relegated to the Challengers Division for the second event of the PSP season - the Mid Atlantic Open. Last year’s pro series champions had a great early run in Dallas, winning all four of their first round games and earning a second round bye. Their tournament ended prematurely in the semifinals as they lost a very tough game to LA Infamous 4-3. Like Dynasty, San Antonio X-Factor also went undefeated in the preliminary rounds after winning the World Cup. And like Dynasty they hit the wall in the semifinals, losing to Omaha Vicious 7-6. Omaha Vicious won only two of their first round games but made the cut. As I mentioned earlier they defeated San Antonio X-Factor 7-6 and were headed to the finals for the first time since turning pro. In the finals they would meet LA Infamous, who went 3-1 in the preliminary rounds and then beat out Dynasty 4-3 in a great game. This set up a final matchup of LA Infamous versus Omaha Vicious. Although LA Infamous finished in the top seven in all five events in the PSP last year, their best finish was third place. So making the finals is a great start to the 2014 season for Infamous. Similarly, making the finials for Vicious was huge for this team that has never played in the final game of a pro event in the PSP. So the stage was set for a game that few would have thought we’d be watching in the finals. WWW.PAINTBALLX3.COM
