In the quarterfinals Houston Heat beat Emelya
Red Storm 5-2, TonTons beat Breakout Spa
6 -1, Edmonton Impact took it to a much
improved Paris Camp Carnage 5-1 and
shockingly for many, the Expendables beat
Moscow Red Legion 6-5. In the semifinals it
was the Expendables once again stepping
up big time against the TonTons, sending the
French team home with a 6-1 never-in-doubt
show of power. To this point in the Prague
Open the TonTons seemed completely
untouchable but as anyone watching could
see, the Expendables were getting better
and better with each point and game they
played. Also surprisingly the other semifinal
match saw Edmonton Impact beat a very
094

strong Houston Heat squad 6-1.
In the Pro finals it was the Expendables
once again shocking the crowds, beating
Edmonton Impact, the Goliaths of paintball
5-4. This was a game to remember and the
first Euro major win by a team other than
Houston Heat, Edmonton Impact, TonTons
or Russian Legion since Art Chaos won in
Chantilly in 2014.
The Expendables roster was pretty well
stacked with big name players including, Ryan
Greenspan, Tyler Harmon, Marcello Margott,
Yosh Rau and Blake Yarber. Still winning this
event was quite an accomplishment.
