Holdin’ it down for the MW.

Mutiny was built from the bottom up and the inside out. We stand as a new breed of pro players holding it down for the Midwest.

This teams comes as the result of many years or hard work, determination, drive and a blinding desire to excel.

Reality Check

Indianapolis Mutiny was built by Tommy O’Donnell and Aaron Tholey with the intent of rebuilding the state of Midwest paintball.

There was a time in pro paintball when a Midwest team, Aftershock, ruled the world. There were other powerhouse teams hailing predominately from the Midwest as well. Teams like Avalanche, Evil Factory, and Farside to name a few. At this point in time, tournament paintball was absolutely thriving in the Midwest. Team after team of solid players battled it out week in and week out. We were all immersed in this time period as young soldiers on the come-up breaking necks to go pro. As time went on, West Coast teams steadily gained back their ground as the most elite in the world.

Suddenly the Midwest paintball scene began slowly wilting away. The pro teams stopped performing and many of the amateur teams dissolved. Pro teams that used to be funded by owners who truly cared about their players, brands, and championships slowly transformed into machines of mediocrity run on the fumes of their actual sponsorship contracts. Growing up in the Midwest and going pro in the middle of all of this was confusing at best. The frustration of the same old C- remix season after season finally came to a boiling point.

We, as players, decided that it was time to start something special. When the opportunity with the USPL arose, we decided to create a pro team of hand built soldiers that had been on the grind for a decade in pursuit of going pro. Our goal was to build a paintball team that would forever leave it’s fingerprint on the game, and more importantly, the Midwest. We started something that is steadily rebuilding Midwest paintball one player at a time.

We built Indianapolis Mutiny.
