#19 Carl Markowski AKA Microwave, AKA H2K... Carl Markowski is yet another player who has been an important asset to the teams he's played for AND for the industry as a whole. His approachability as a human being and his willingness to give up his time to chat is something people should never take for granted. On the field this dude is faaaaast and his ability to transform into a supersonic, weapons-grade human missile is a rare and valuable trait for any player. His speed, aggression and ability to punch a hole through a team in the blink of an eye has helped flip many results over the years. There's also a very exclusive club of players who can match Carl for pace, of which all members can be counted on one hand.  Image: Fava Photo As with all Emortal Legends, we asked him a few simple questions.

Everyone's talking about Chicago Aftershock right now, heck, we're even making our latest season of The Roster all about them. So we thought we'd catch up with possibly the fastest and most explosive man in paintball right now, Carl ‘Microwave’ Markowski to ask him some quick-fire questions. Hey Carl, we know you’re always in a rush so we’ll keep this quick. Are you actually the fastest man in paintball right now? Who’d give you a run for your money? I don't like to claim that I'm the fastest but I like to think that I'm one of the  fastest in the league. The only guy that I have raced and stayed with me step for step was Mouse from the Ironmen. Why Microwave? Microwave was a nickname I've had since I played on Tippmann Effect back in 2003. I was told that I 'heat things up' on the field, lol. For those who don't know, how long have you played with Chicago Aftershock? I've been playing with Aftershock since the Chicago event las...
