Houston Heat announced their entry in the 2012 professional paintball division. The team will be run by Distortion team owner Randy “Sarge” Smith. The team will be sponsored by G.I. Sportz, DLX and Style Supply. The team will be competing in the 2012 PSP Professional division.
According to a news release we received, the official roster is as follows;
- Konstantin Fedorov
- Chad “Yaya” Bouchez
- Ronnie Dizon
- Mishka Kniazev
- Sam Monville
- Nick Slowiak
- Ryan Smith
- Sergei Solnishkov
- Jon “LJ” Woodley
The roster is rock solid and confirms many of our earlier rumors and news articles. Three of the players on this team are being pulled up from Distortion, a division 1 psp team. Congrats to Ryan Smith, Jon “LJ” Woodley, and Ronnie Dizon. The one big question this team raises is the home town; Houston. How does a half Russian, half Chicago team call Texas home? Odd, but stranger things have happened.
