One of the top class team in the Paintball World -Team Vicious

Starting as Data Support Systems (DSS) in 2006 PSP Division 3, the original members of the team consisted of: Bryan Bortol, Christopher Hooker, Mac Moriarty, Paul Naylon, Parker Rosenthal, Zak Sherman, and Josh Voss. Coached by Greg Pauley and backed by Karen and Carl Bortol, DSS had a great showing their first year in tournament paintball and went on to win the PSP SoCal Open and the Division 3 X-Ball Series Champions Title for the 2006 season.

In 2007, it was decided that DSS would now play as VICIOUS after they made the move to D2 X-Ball. Because of this division move Greg Pauley was now able to both coach and play on the team. VICIOUS proved to be successful in their second season by winning to 2007 PSP Chicago Open and once again found themselves the 2007 Series Champions in D2 X-Ball.


In 2008, VICIOUS moved up to Division 1 in the PSP. Rivalries proved to be prominent early on in the season. VICIOUS did well in their third season but their glory did not come until the PSP World Cup. VICIOUS fought their way to the finals and came out victorious as the 2008 D1 World Cup Champions. VICIOUS was also able to finish as Runner-Up in the series standings for D1 X-Ball. Shortly after World Cup, VICIOUS went on to take 2nd in Semi Pro at the 2008 NPPL Commander’s Cup. This was an accomplishment as well because VICIOUS usually does not play the 7 man format.


Moving up to Semi-Pro for the 2009 season, VICIOUS has finished in the top four in the first three PSP tournaments. They also finished fourth in the USPL Huntington Beach Event. At the PSP World Cup in Lakeland, FL VICIOUS was able to win once again, remaining World Cup Champions.
