Sewell, NJ – Empire Paintball announces that pro paintball team, VICIOUS, will play the 2013 season with the Empire AXE Marker. Team VICIOUS will be shooting a private label VICIOUS Empire Axe and wearing custom VICIOUS Empire Contact Zero jerseys and pants.
“We appreciate the confidence and commitment Empire has exhibited for VICIOUS in 2013. VICIOUS will do their best to continue to be a positive role model for Empire and paintball. Empire’s support allows us to increase our tournament play. VICIOUS will expand beyond the PSP and UWL in 2013,” said Carl Bortol, owner of Team VICIOUS.
Matt Sossoman, back player for VICIOUS said “I love how smooth and flat the Axe shoots. I can’t wait to use it for 2013.”
Empire AXE Marker had the most wins in tournament paintball during the 2012 season. Empire expects to add to this winning total with Team VICIOUS. In addition to the AXE, VICIOUS will be using Super Freak barrel kits and Empire Ultra air systems. The team will continue to use the z2 loader and shoot RPS and Evil paintballs.
John Robinson, CEO of KEE Action Sports added “We are very excited to partner with VICIOUS for the 2013 season. Carl, Karen, Jake, Julie, as well as all the guys on the team are tremendous people and do a great job representing themselves, paintball and our brands.

It’s great to hear Vicious can play more events with this sponsorship! Vicious came off a great last event, and with the added support should have a great season… It’s unfortunate this comes up just a bit more than a few weeks after Eclipse released there Vicious Geo3s…
