We are about to enter a new era of professional paintball…  Are you ready?  Here’s the latest from the PSP regarding their new Pro Divisions – Champions & Challengers:

[via PSPevents.com]  - “The level of talent in the PSP Professional Division is undisputedly the fiercest in the world.  Teams from all divisions train week in and out to ultimately one day become a Professional team in the PSP.  Actually making the advancement into Pro however, has historically been too large of a move for most teams to make. 

The PSP would like to change this by putting a system into place for fresh teams to move into an even stronger Pro League.  

The PSP Professional teams will compete against each other in the 2013 PSP Dallas Open.  The top 10 teams from that event will move on to PSP’s Event #2 and play in the newly established Champions Division.  They will perform on the main field for all the glory in front of thousands of fans watching from the PaintballAccess.com webcast and the PSP grandstands.

The other Pro teams from the Dallas Open will be enlisted in a new division known as the Challengers Division.  They will be joining other teams to be named at a later date.  The group of teams in the Challengers Divisions will use the same format and rules, but play on a secondary Professional field during the prelims and will play their final match on the main field for all their fans to watch.  Starting after Event #2, the top two teams from the Challengers Division in each event will move up and compete in the PSP Champions Division for the following event.  They will be replacing the bottom 2 finishers from the previous event’s Champions Division, who will instead perform in the Challengers Division. 

This system of constant circulation will continue event by event for seasons to come.  It is now more important than ever for teams to give their all in each match – as they no longer have just one goal of winning the event – but must perform at their top in every game to make sure they do not suffer the consequence of being knocked out of the Champions Division.  Likewise, the Challengers Division teams at each event have the option to perform and move up for the following event. 

The fight begins March 14, 2013 at the PSP Dallas Open.  Team Registration for all divisions opens soon at PSPevents.com.” 

TonTon, the French paintball powerhouse and one of Dye’s European flagship teams, have re-signed with Dye and decided to compete in both the Millennium Series CPL and the Pro division of the PSP.

After an incredible season in 2012, celebrating their 20th birthday, grabbing a 1st place win in London and finishing 3rd place overall in the Millennium Series, TonTon will be putting their organization to the ultimate test this year by competing against some of the best teams in the world in the PSP.  TonTon will continue to shoot use Dye products from head to toe, and will continue to give back to the paintball community as much as possible in 2013 with various clinics, signings and store appearances throughout Europe and the States.

A big congratulations goes out to our home team from Maylasia, Team DRX, 2012 Division One Champions in BOTH the Malaysian National Paintball League (MYNPL) and the World Paintball Players League (WPPL)!

November was crowned as DRX’s most successful month in their rich six year history as a team, a month that they will remember for as long as they live.  Two championship titles and two overall series titles were earned, and for that Dye would like to say congratulations!

DRX rocks Dye products head to toe, from the DM all the way down to the Dye CG paint they shoot.  We know that Dye and DRX is a winning combination, and we know that DRX will continue to win with their dedication, their desire to win, and their now proven championship caliber roster.
