The Roster: Season 2
Yeah, I know, it first came out a while ago so it's old news but in another way it's timeless. Delivered in 6 episodes--the first three have just hit YouTube--it tells a common paintball story, a story nearly every dedicated competitive player has experienced at least once. Beyond the dream of playing pro paintball the same questions remain; the same drive and desire. Do I have what it takes? What am I willing to do, to give up, to succeed? The Roster: Season 2 tells that story for the 2013 World Cup champion San Antonio X-Factor and a group of hopeful players who came from all around the southeast United States to give it their all in an effort to make the roster. In a visual landscape dominated by disconnected short attention span "action" clips Dan Napoli and crew deliver a meaningful story that resonates with players and non-players alike because it's not just a paintball story, it's a human story. If you missed it the first time around--or even if you've seen it--catch episode one at ETV brought to you by Planet Eclipse. Better yet, you can purchase the whole feature with lots of extras from Vimeo On Demand. It's a worthwhile addition to any paintball video library. And in case you were concerned I might dominate the proceedings you can breath a sigh of relief--I ignored the cameras and they, for the most part, ignored me too--so you have no reason not to enjoy The Roster.

Care to share your thoughts on the rumors/gossip of Dye's paint discontinuation and Empire's FL factory closing? The former could have interesting implications for teams like TBD and Ironmen, no?

With respect to Men & Damage I expect DYE will take care of its top teams. (Damage is shooting Evil.)
The St. Pete facility is an old R.P. Scherer factory and I've heard it was a matter of consolidating their production.
If they were consolidating they would have moved everything to Brampton, Ontario, surely?
No-one likes to hear the term 'out-sourcing' these days though, it's so un-American.
Now RPS is basically made in Taiwan, so Kee will have to think of another way to discredit Asian paint manufacturers moving forward. "Those guys can't make decent paint'; just isn't going to cut it anymore...

What I heard was the machines went to Canada. I just didn't bother to add that to the first reply and it may or may not be true. Either way production capacity isn't an issue.
wait....

Roster very interesting. There was one line that I found very curious especially as I am British. The comment British style. I just wondered what was ment by that. I know we play a lot slower and no where near as aggressive. But I'd bet there is a lot more to it than just that I was wondering if you could elaborate ?
