Norway's Xtreme Win Elite Title 🏆

Image
Norway's Molde Xtreme took the 2024 Norwegian Paintball League (NPL) Elite Division honours in fine style! Consistency has always been the key to winning titles. Yes, winning events is the most exciting and impressive way of doing it, but ultimately you need to maintain a high level of performance consistently to give your team a shot at the season title. And Molde Xtreme did just that. After a 4th place finish at the first event, they stepped things up in round two taking a solid 2nd place. So things were looking up and they found their sweet spot, but with just two more rounds to go they knew what they needed to do; strong podium placings were the minimum requirement for success. Round three saw them take an impressive 1st place finish which gave them all the momentum they needed heading into the final round. A round that yet again, Molde Xtreme performed exceptionally as they took yet another 1st place to secure the 2024 NPL Elite Series Title. It was the perfect blend of drive,...

Sporting CP's fight for the top continues 🇵🇹

Image
Our favourite Portuguese men of paintball war, Sporting CP, have been having a season! They make the journey to the UK for each round of the UK's premiere paintball series, the CPPS which in itself is admirable. Competing in the Series' highest division, Elite, is no easy task. The whole division is stacked but the top 5 teams really are the very best the UK has to offer, with the likes of The Lucky 15s and Manchester Firm fighting to claim the title on home soil. Sporting had a great season in 2023, but they wanted more, so we asked them about their plans for 2024 and how things are shaping up so far. Photo: Blitzed Media Photo: Blitzed Media Photo: Blitzed Media Another year we flew to England to compete in the Elite Division of the CPPS, but this year with podiums! Our commitment to two years of hard work in the UK is finally paying off, and for the first time we feel like we're starting to build our identity as one of the most promising young teams on the European top-f...

We always love to see new teams join the Planet Eclipse family and here we are welcoming the exciting Toulouse Purple Semi Pro team with open arms. Our good friends at Camp Paintball in France had this to say about their new signing:   We are delighted to announce that the Toulouse Purple Club and its Teams have chosen to shoot the Planet Eclipse CS3 & Geo R5 markers from now on. At last, they'll be able to shoot the most fragile paint available and rely on the proven reliability of Planet markers. Firmly focused on the future and working hard on a daily basis, the Toulouse Purple Club will benefit from comprehensive training with our official Tech Éric "cheveux" Spitzmuller, so that they in turn can pass on advice, information and tips. We're particularly pleased with this choice, which is in line with our desire to be as close as possible to our players and teams. We have no doubts about the Club's future performance! WE GOT YOUR BACK! Well, we echo the sent...

Champions Of Europe 🇪🇺

The 2023 NXL Europe Pro Paintball Season has come to a close, and what a season we've had! For the third year in a row Toulouse TonTon took the Pro Division gold, which is an incredible result considering the insane levels of performance shown by many teams in the NXL Europe Pro Division. Gone are the days of single team dominance as we welcome an era that brings wider levels of team performance and consistency, which for the observer is tremendous to watch. We now have a division of teams who need to fight for every single point, at every single event to maintain their position, which makes the winner's achievements all the more admirable. TonTon are an impressive team. Their commitment, drive and desire to win is clear for all to see and the talent base they have is enviable. 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.
