Planet Eclipse HQ Blog

At last weekend’s NXL Las Vegas Open there were two incidents involving Planet Eclipse Sponsored Pro teams that led to 2 players receiving match bans. Both players entered the field with a CS2 marker in its Factory Default mode, Uncapped Semi. At this time we are unsure of exactly how the markers got into Factory Default. It is difficult to speculate, but it could have been through accident, malicious intent, faulty batteries or a technical issue in the firmware. What we do know is that the CS2 has been in the field with the same electronics package for nearly 18 months and these are the first cases we have seen or heard of of this type. The circuit boards from the markers in question are on their way back to PE HQ in the UK to undergo rigorous inspection and evaluation. In the meantime, in order to mitigate any possibility of this happening again in the future, we have decided to release a new version of firmware for the Primary Board of the CS2. The CS2s in question h...

2018 gave us some fantastic matchups in the NXL. And although some familiar patterns emerged as the season progressed, others were slowly forming behind the scenes which led to one of the most exciting NXL World Cups we've seen in a long while. Unless you're Edmonton Impact, that is. As one of, if not THE most professional and consistently successful team in NXL history, Impact played some outstanding paintball throughout the year with their eyes firmly fixed on two things. Winning a fourth NXL Pro Series (in a row) AND the NXL World Cup 3Peat. Unfortunately for Impact, the best of the rest had other ideas. And in the course of one single match their dreams began to slip through their fingers. After losing to the Russians – which took the Cup 3Peat out of the equation – the Series title was in the hands of the paintball Gods and one match result. The NXL World Cup Final between Houston Heat and the Russian Legion. And once the final buzzer sounded... it was all ove...

The Sandbaggers quite like a drink, a trip abroad and the odd game of Paintball thrown in for good measure is always a bonus. When General Bolz (AKA Butch) gave us our CTA (Call to Action) to send over a small, but Elite group of Sandbaggers to the Scenario Big Game we could do nothing but book our flights… So Ledz, Phil, JJ and Bowen will be flying to Germany to attend Scenario Big Game 22 ‘Revelation’. The Elite Sandbaggers couldn’t make it so those will have to do. They will be attending and probably playing on only 2 days of the 5 day event that is being help between the 1 st  May and 5 th  May in Poland very close to the German border.
