After a few years absence from the DABA curcuit but gaining much experience in offseason leagues at Massacre, the Juggernauts are proving to be aforce to be reckoned with. Take it home Bawi. I’ll be on the sidelines with a “silenced” support to you guys as always
Also PxB Snipers won their game!! One player was ‘targeted’ and badly hurt…again I’m asking for at least one nurse or first aid personnel at these ‘big’ games DABA
