Sean France, a friend of Justin's was introduced to Dylan shortly after. Not long after the new team was forged, Chris Yunker was brought in as a fourth man.

A friend of Justin, Chris was the only player with true paintballing experience. His knowledge of the game helped the team forward, but 4 men were not enough. The roster had to include at least one more person to make a 5-man team, in order to participate in tournaments.
