Monday Rumor Report
December 14, 2009 in Rumor Reports
After a seemingly quite couple of weeks, pro paintball teams are once again making moves. This week we showcase the latest news and rumors from San Francisco Explicit, Scottsdale Elevation, Entourage and more. Read on for the latest paintball news and rumors for the week of December 14th.
- Scottsdale Elevation will be competing in the PSP Semi Pro divison. Elevation pro paintball player Tim Cerruti is rumored to have moved to Northern California.
- San Francisco Explicit is rumored to be playing PSP Semi Pro as well. Word is that sponsorship will play a big part in the decision. For those of you looking for a pro paintball team, SF Explicit is said to be scheduling a second set of tryouts after the first of the year. We will keep you updated.
- Nu School University practiced X-ball against Fuzion and San Francisco Explicit at Capital Edge Paintball Park. Maybe that Explicit rumor wasn’t too far off, eh?
- Credible sources tell us that VICIOUS/Entourage player Dalton Vanderbyl and Hollywood HK player Bear D’Egidio have both signed on to play with Entourage in 2010. Rumor has it that the team will be shooting Bob Long Victory paintball guns but nothing is official yet.
- Word has it that Frank “the Tank” Connell and Draxxus have parted ways. Frank handled the South East region for DXS and word is DXS is trying to find someone to fill the void. Draxxus was the paintball sponsor for USPL pro team Avalanche and we can only imagine this will have an impact on the teams sponsorship. No word yet on the future of the team. We wish Frank the best!

Entourage picked bear up so his dad can pick up the tab.
Yup said on December 15, 2009
Yeah, and they’re smart for doing that too.
It shows that money can get you anywhere in life even if you suck…
Yes, Entourage is shooting Victory’s next year. Bob gave them a better deal than Smart Parts.
They are playing Pro 7-man and Semi-Pro X-ball.

entourage plans to go pro for 2010
bear said on December 15, 2009
Frank won’t have paint from DXS. Or a team for that matter. Dalton has many chances to go pro but is a pussy. X-factor is only going to play X-ball.

no one said on December 15, 2009
.
no one said on December 15, 2009
no one’s going to beat them.
For sure said on December 15, 2009
Don’t sell the other semi pro teams short. There is a lot of talent in that bracket.

Dalton should have stayed with Vicious…but doesn’t want to travel.
InformationMerchant said on December 15, 2009
Dalton had his reasons. I’m not convinced they started and ended with travel.
no one said on December 15, 2009
Yeah. If you think about it Dalton has known the Entourage guys since he started playing. He’s been on SDA and in southern California in general. It’s totally a logical move. Plus, Entourage has tons more experience than Vicious
Vicious said on December 15, 2009
has more PSP experience than Entourage. How many Entourage players played on the semi pro Aftermath at cup? Remember Vicious started out as DSS in 05.
Sorry U feel that way said on December 15, 2009
Vicious Says,
you are absolutely right that Vicious has a ton more experience than Entourage in the PSP format. That is what vicious has concentrated on while Entourage focused on 7man
the AM roster at cup had 2 players from the Entourage roster
Ryan Collette
Ronnie Filippone
at the previous events during the season there were 3 players on the roster.

To all the Entourage mom and dads your kids will never win at the pro level. And if you can’t make it to the top then you are a looser. Stop hyping yourself.
austin said on December 15, 2009
ya “ok” that makes so much sense when you dont know how to spell “loser” i bet your already pro… no need for that comment
Sorry U feel that way said on December 15, 2009
Ok says,
love you man. entourage has never been about hype. No magazine coverage no internet posting so I dont know what the team has Hyped. Ummmmmm. Probably won more money then your team ever has.
Also they have not been stupid and jumped up too early. They have been consistant and now are moving up to pro NPPL and semi pro psp.
They haven’t played a single season in the PSP. So if you dont like it then put a team in against them and try and stop them.
Some of the most low keyed guys on the circuit. Their players help other teams out all the time. They dont cause fights at local fields and are easy to get along with. How can you hate a team for that.
Thanks for the love

You cant really call Entourage jumping to semi-pro a stupid move. They’re from CA, they’ll have more than enough top caliber teams to practice against. Also, didn’t many of them play with SDA at Cup?
Sorry U feel that way said on December 15, 2009
yup,
I was not statng jumping to SP a stupid move. I was stating that the team has been moving up one level every season. Many teams jump to far up the ladder and they fail as a result. The idea of being pro is exciting for younger players sometimes. this does not help them to be ready for the level of competition they are competing against
Entourage said on December 15, 2009
has more experience WINNING in x-ball than Vicious. Entourage doesn’t play x-ball as a team however some of the team played for SDA Semi-Pro last year and helped them to 3 wins, Vicious only won once.
one win said on December 16, 2009
was in D1 not semi pro. I would hope that the other non Entourage players helped SDA win.

Wait till you see how fast our new guns shoot. Thanks again Will
Beezy said on December 16, 2009
I remember them absolutely smashing (similar to the way VWC II handled Cup) Cup 08 in D2 xball, i think theyll be fine.
1 said on December 27, 2009
It was fuzion vs nuskool only, explicit was never there. And havent seen them play xball at cepp yet.
