Thanks to everyone who participated in Dye Tactical’s first ever Friday Giveaway!  Many more to come on Facebook.com/DyeTacitcal

This week we wanted to know – “What’s your favorite vest + accessory combo?”

Chris Arnold gave us a great setup with explanations on why he chose each item:

“That vest you have there would do the job, but for my dream vest I would have to go with :
- Tac Vest Alpha (because of all that molle goodness.)
- Admin Pouch (for easy proof of elite player and for dropping your calling cards on the players you put into a dirt nap.)
- Tank Pouch (to hold your precious 48ci 4500psi Throttle tank.)
- Clip Pouch Double (for holding those sweet DAM 20 Round Mags, that your going to use to pick off unsuspecting players with your First Strike Rounds.)
- Dump Pouch (because even the trained Dye Tactical Elite need cookies in the field to keep them nurished!)
- Assault Molle Pod Holder 3+4 (got to have that quick release velcro straping for those hairy situations. Aint nobody got time to unbuckle!)
- Insulated Grenade Pouch (because I love to cook my grenades!)
- Unit Patch Pack (because maybe your bored of being a sniper and want to be where the real actions at with the Infantry.)
- Attack Pack Pro ( for holding more of that liquid gold Dye CG paintballs and besides you’ve grown fond of the name “Ammo Wagon”.)

All of the above is Dye Cam. ”

Love that setup Chris!  Enjoy your Dye Tactical Package.

Taiwan hosted the recent 2013 National Paintball Tournament, and Dye’s Team KU from Japan made the podium.

“After one year of not playing an event with the team, it was a great feeling to get back onto the field with everyone. Our first event was in Taitung Taiwan. We were considered to be the favorites to win the tournament along side defending champions Team Storm from Taiwan.

Equipped with dye gear head to toe and shooting the new DM13s and Dye CG Paintballs, we finished the prelims in first place heading to the final round with confidence. Unfortunately we could not take that form into the final rounds and ended up 2nd overall behind Storm who defended their crown. Shortage on players and injury might have been a big factor, but no excuses, Team Storm were the stronger team and deserved to win.

We would like to thank team SplatZ from Malaysia for helping us in the pits and coaching us. Steven and Weili from Dye. All the participating teams for their generosity and sportsmanship, and of course the marshals! And last but not least our sponsors Dye Paintball for the continuous support.”

Team Dynamix from South Africa recently won the SARPL event 2 in Port Elizabeth. Craig Marley gave us a rundown of the event:

“The weekend started with the alarm waking us up at 1am Saturday morning , we loaded up the cars and trailers, the road trip began. Driving a very long 12hrs we arrived in a sunny and very hot Port Elizabeth. We headed straight to the field to walk it. On arriving, the layout was a lot different to what we had trained on at our home field of Blades and Triggers in Joburg, leaving us to make up a lot of new break out plans. The field walk took us well into Saturday night so it was a long day but we felt prepared for our games.

Sunday started early with setting up tents at the field and getting all our Dye gear ready. We were a bit worried about the Dye CG Paint as it had travelled in a trailer for 12 hours in the baking sun, much to our surprise the Dye CG paint shot great throughout the whole tourney giving us no problems at all. We started bashing out games early and with our new game plans we were very strong only dropping 2 points in the pool stages.

Leading into the semi’s, we played a very strong Johannesburg team, Reapers. We took first point the way we had most of the day but they had picked up some flaws in our game plan and used it against us. After a long point they managed to shoot all of us out, taking the second point. We quickly got together and changed our plans and used completely different break outs which we had not tried. We came back using a different game putting us in the finals.

We met a team from Port Elizabeth in the finals. We started off strong but dropped the second point. We got our heads back into the game to fight back as it was a long drive back and no one wanted that drive with a second place finish. After grinding the last point we had shot out their players and hung the flag taking the WIN!

With the second RPL completed we drove 12hrs back to Johannesburg with us arriving home at 5:30am but all of us smiling and as happy. We could not have done it without the help from our sponsors DYE, Blades and Triggers, DYE CG paintballs and the Smuts family. Thanks for all the support.”
