Ironmen at World Cup Asia in Langkawi, Malaysia

Picture from dye paintball blog.

The Ironmen set off to Langkawi Malaysia for the World cup Asia event on november 11- 13. We were invited there to represent the USA in the Intercontinental Cup Division of the Tournament. This division featured many teams such as, TonTons from France, Reapers from South Africa, Xfox/Xtioners from Malaysia, Assassalas from Africa, STK from Australia, Datis from Iran and a few others. There were also tons of teams competing in all of the divisional levels.

Our trip started off with a very long flight from Los Angeles to Hong Kong to Kuala Lumpur and then finally to Langkawi. Our hosts were gracious enough to set us up with some local sightseeing tours where we got to see some of the mangroves, eagle feeding and their fantastic beaches. We also were able to take cable cars up to the top of the highest peak on Langkawi for some amazing views. We also were able to eat with the King and Princess of Malaysia for a festive dinner.

Our tournament started off with a match against Xfox/Xtioneers the Malaysian representative that ended with a 3-2 victory for us. The next match was against Assassalas from Gabon Africa, and was also a 4-0 win for us. Our final match of the Prelims was against a strong STK from Australia who we also beat 4-0. On sunday we were up against Datis from Iran who had just won the Division one crown, we also beat them 4-0. The final match was against TonTon’s which we lost in a close fought battle 4-2. Congratulations o the Tontons for their first place victory in the ICC division.
The Ironmen would like to thank everyone for the nice event the put on at WCA and we look forward to coming back next year.

50 Pasukan Sahkan Sertai World Cup Asian Paintball 2011 Di Langkawi

ALOR SETAR, 11 Jan (Bernama) -- Lima puluh pasukan telah pun mengesahkan penyertaan dalam Kejohanan World Cup Asian Paintball 2011 yang bakal berlangsung di Langkawi dari 10 hingga 12 Nov depan.

Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Induk kejohanan itu Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid berkata beliau menjangkakan 32 negara termasuk Amerika Syarikat dan negara-negara Eropah akan menyertai kejohanan itu yang menawarkan hadiah keseluruhan berjumlah AS$30,000.


"Kita menyasarkan sebanyak 160 pasukan melibatkan minimum 2,000 peserta akan menyertai kejohanan itu," katanya pada sidang akhbar selepas mesyuarat jawatankuasa itu di sini Selasa.

Kenapalah nak dibuat Kejohanan dalam Dewan Mahsuri.. Tak sesuai langsung.. saya harap buatla kat kilang marble lama yg mcm kejohanan baru-baru ni. Barula kick & menarik. Paintball adalah sukan lasak. Jadi kalau nak buat dalam dewan hanya menjadi gelak @ ketawa kecil oleh pemain2. Jadi pada penganjur mintak kaji balik idea tersebut & pilih tempat sesuai utk anjur kejohanan peringkat antarabangsa ni.. 

p/s: Rujuk dgn persatuan paintball malaysia dulu (kalo ada la) utk nasihat..

Paintball 3 Kingdoms ~ Langkawi

Recently there's a Paintball Fight in Langkawi. The event was held in an abandoned Langkawi Marble factory. Its among the best event & great war site ever held in Kedah. It can be confirm by interview of the people who join the event.


Anyway i can bet all the war mongers out there having fun that day..

I wonder who wins?

More info about the recent event from other blogs :

The opening ceremony was officially launch by MP Langkawi Dato' Paduka Abu Bakar Taib. The event was a success which attracts 200 participant around Malaysia & from Australia.

Hopefully this kind of event will be more conducted next year to attract a new breed of tourist to the Island.

Kudos to the organizer..
