Brahma

The Philippines will play host to the 1st World Airsoft Challenge, spearheaded by Popular Airsoft, in cooperation with US-based FilForce Airsoft Team, and Hammerheads from the Philippines. Dubbed Rapier 01, the 1st international airsoft tournament will pit the best 8-man airsoft teams from different countries from North America, Asia, and Europe. The country has been selected as it has one of the oldest, most vibrant, and active airsoft communities in the world and growth over the past few year has just been phenomenal. Airsoft tournaments have been normal fare in the Philippines for sometime now.

Various airsoft tournament organizers are already in high gear, setting in motion the selection process of who will be their rightful representative in this much-awaited tournament. Popular Airsoft already has the ball rolling with Codename: Thunderstrike in the UK and Ratratan '08 in the Philippines, to be held in November and December 2008, respectively. The winning teams in Codename: Thunderstrike and Ratratan '08 will earn them the right to carry the respective flags of their countries.

Rapier 01, slated for a 2009 commencement, will be held in conjunction with the 1st Kami Wars, an airsoft milsim event for airsofters around the world.
