Benjamin Yaw aka Todo Boggy of Team Demonz Red and manager of Pro Paintball has just come back from playing the Intercontinental Cup in Paris, France. Team KL Demonz Red placed 4th in the Intercontinental Cup and Demonz Red came 2nd in Div 3. Ben took some time out from his busy paintball schedule to give us some insights into his paintball life and his experiences in Paris.

Q. Can you give us some background on how and when you got started in paintball, how your team started and how you got into the paintball business?

I guess I am no different from any other paintballers. I started playing paintball with a bunch of friends back in 2005. I'll get into details how I started. A group of friends that had played a few times asked me to play paintball with them but then I was too chicken to do it after seeing the bruises they got resulting from paintball. It was Joyce (my girlfriend) who convinced and sort of dragged me to play paintball. Well, I got stuck and we decided to form a team then called TEAM HOBBITS. We took part in our 1st tournament in Asia Cup 05 in division 3. We didn't do that well, missing the quarterfinals then. Some members dropped off after that we ended up insufficient players for the team. Eventually the team is dispersed and I guested for few teams in local tournaments in 2006 before joining Team Werdna Hol in 2007. I then joined Team Demonz Red in end 2007 till now.

I guess it was hobby turned into career. I was working for Hush Puppies then when Patrick asked me to manage Pro Paintball for him in Oct 2007. I jumped on the idea of turning hobby into career. That's how I got the job in Pro Paintball.
