Exciting and challenging with a new twist!

The Proving Grounds was absolutely fun! Even though it was a new event it was well organized with a positive and dedicated group of staff and volunteers. Details in mission briefings were key to the highest success so it was more than navigating just the course of fire, you had to pay attention to your surroundings and recall aspects of the mission. Attention to all details is key! It was an entertaining and refreshing approach to other matches and I look forward to doing more!
