This match was over as quickly as it began. Off the break
Firestarters made sure that all the Youngbloods were accounted for. Only moments
afterwards Gabe McCord, frontman. Team Firestarters, eliminated all three Youngbloods. The
game lasted a little over thirty seconds (not official timing). Jordan Sharp and Richard
Minton opened up on the other team like true ballers, but frontman, Gabe McCord, stole the
show. Moving into the snake early, Gabe was able to keep moving, and eliminate the
Youngbloods before they knew what hit them. First game for Team Firestarters, and first
game of the tourney was maxed in nearly record time. |

Review |
One of the well most anticipated matches of the tourney
for Firestarters was at hand. Knowing full well of how good the 618 Kidz were,
Firestarters knew they couldn't drop this one, but if worst came to worst, they could not
be maxed. Off the break 618 opened up, and pinned backman, Richard Minton, well into his
back center bunker. Once more, early into the game, front man Gabe McCord moved into the
snake. Quickly he moved upwards, and bunkered one 618 player out in the snake, only to be
shot moments later by another. Soon after their left side collapsed, Sharpie was taken
out, leaving backman, Richard Minton, to fend for himself against two very skilled 618
Kidz. Fighting them off as best he could, still being posted upon, Richard took an unlucky
shot to the visor, slitting the ball it sprayed all over his goggles and hat. After he
called paint check, he was called out of the game by a referee, Yank. While they had
dropped the game, Gabe McCord once more proved his weight in gold to the team. While not
winning, Firestarters was the only team in their division not to be maxed by the 618 Kidz,
who took second place after a hard fought loss to Tremor. |

Review |
This game was the most disappointing of the tourney,
and Firestarters have vowed never to let it happen again. Frontman, Gabe McCord didn't
want to play Rage hard, because of their age. He held back, even after his team urged him
on to play with his all. Quickly, Gabe got in position to make a hat trick bunker run, but
instead, decided to try and out shoot one of them. Just as his head came out, a ball
landed between his eyes. Getting off the field, Gabe was angered that his decision to go
easy on them had backfired, and cost his team a man. Moments after getting out of the
tape, he threw his marker to the ground in disgust. A referee seeing this, called for the
backman, Richard Minton, to be pulled from the game. A second ref ran to Minton, and began
to check his arm. Calling Minton clean, he took a step back, and looked back to the
original ref. Then turning back to the player, he called an elimination. Minton walked to
the dead box, only to see his teammate being swarmed by Rage players, not knowing his team
had been eliminated completely. Minton told the ref to show him where he was hit, and the
ref refused. Asking again, the ref said it was nothing he had done. Still confused and
angered, Minton stood in the deadbox. The original ref walked over to him, and informed
him that he was pulled because his teammate had thrown his marker. A very disappointing
loss for the team, this was just the first blow of bad luck for them. |

Review |
This game had to be maxed for Firestarters to make it
to finals. Off the break McCord was hit in the arm, but got a lucky bounce. He stopped
behind back left to check himself for a bust. Minton followed directly behind him. Waiting
for the right moment, the frontman showed his speed and skill once more by making the run
to the snake. Sharpie sweetspotted off the break, and took one Anarchy player down,
leaving the last two stuck in the back row of bunkers. Keeping the other teams heads down,
Sharpie was able to move up to the forty. Not long after, Gabe made his move, and bunkered
both Anarchy players. All of the Firestarters players ran down the field screaming with
joy that they had just send themselves to finals. After the hang all players for
Firestarters were called clean. Firestarters waited for their first game of finals, when
Gabe McCord went to the proshop. He noticed that they were docked twenty points. Getting
the team in there, they were told that they had been docked the points for overkill. Gabe
shot the first man he bunkered six times...on the run...Enraged, the team tried to appeal
it as far as they could go, but there was no overturning it. Richard Minton was one
of the most angered, and it made it even worse that they had not been told, or got to see
the player with six splats on him. Leaving the tourney after finals, the team was still
angered, but got over it, and went back to practicing on a regular basis. |
