Many opponents find it hard to look beyond their aggressive playing style and their ability to destroy excellent teams within seconds, but they're much, much smarter and well-balanced than that.

It's always good to shine a light on those who push their boundaries and step out of their comfort zones to improve and compete at a higher level. Up-and-coming TeamSporting CP are doing just that. After they rocked up to the UK's CPPS series, went straight into the Elite Division and walked away with a solid 5th place then followed up with a 4th we thought these guys must be serious. Then, they contacted us about their proud efforts. So, we decided to find out more about this passionate and driven organisation. Photo: Matt Gee So, Sporting CP... who are you?
