– Will Arroyo
I grew up in Brooklyn NY in the 70's, I was a latch key kid. Mom worked 2 jobs so I found myself hanging out with hustlers and the most creative people Brooklyn had to offer. At a young age my game consisted of hot peas and butter, roof climbing (some call it parkour now a days), I played round up till the wee hours of the night. In junior high I fell in love with breakdancing and graffiti my name was WILONE and hung out the elite of the time, I got published in books and magazines at the age of 16. I loved paint my entire life.
When I first got into tournament paintball in 1986 I always had an eye for what was the best and always stood far and clear of the gear that at the moment of truth when it counted most failed you. I won my first major event at sgt. yorks in 1989 using a grey ghost with the screaming eagles. I got my first sponsorship from national paintball supplies when it was still attached to a pizza shop in the earliest of the 90s.
In 1992 I played with the syclones a national paintball supplies factory team with genius players like Steve Davidson and a bunch of legendary werewolves who ruled our area at the time. I stopped playing in 1993 for a years to travel the world while bartending in ny cities hottest clubs. I came back in 1994 and was picked up by paintball maniacs supplies and first choice paintballs factory team to play on the raptors, at the end of 95 I went to my first ever World Cup in Florida. I met a bunch of killers named east coast eliminators from my area and was invited to tryout for ECE the team had the best up and coming players from the east coast. I played every 5 man nppl with them and after dominating, I went pro after only our 3rd event. Jerry Braun started to take notice and inviting me and a few of the ECE players to join his new pro team called Ground Zero for their debut event at Chicago NPPL 1996. Boom history was made countless wins followed including a first ever series win as well as a world title in 2001. I was also the creator of the Bunker King and the we kill suckers brand in 1996 till 2004.
I was one of the first ever announcers for the psp ,nppl ,the original Xball league (nxl) as well as the European millennium series. When I fall in love with something I go all out, "I love tournament paintball!" The Mechanical movement is great to see. Like so many who had taken a break from paintball, I’m back and I’ve joined forces with only the best
