Ten of the best, we hear you cry. What's all this about? Simple really. We take 10 of the pics that we really like from the various events throughout the year and curate them in one place for you. Right here. That's it. If you like them why not share this post with your buddies? So let's start with NXL Vegas 2017. Enjoy. All photos listed here have been taken for us by the amazing mister George Fava ( Fava Photography ). Colt Roberts going hell-for-leather  Alex Martinez watches patiently Carl 'Microwave' Markowski doing what he does best The old 'over-and-under' move Carl 'Microwave' Markowski kicking up some dust Thomas Taylor still taking names  Who? Me ref? Putting. In. Work.  By any means necessary The boys hang back while JC makes moves We like showing you cool pics, so we'll keep doing it. Unless you'd rather we didn't. But for now, stay tuned for more.

And finally, we finish with the team that every other team wants to emulate or take down. Taking the 2016 NXL Pro Series title, the 2016 Millennium Series Pro title AND both the NXL and Millennium Series World Cups it's easy to see why other teams look at them with awe and jealousy. Edmonton Impact are a vision of what a professional paintball team should be. Loaded with talent, brimming with confidence and unified through hard work and determination, Impact have always done their absolute best to achieve their goals. So it shouldn't be any surprise when they actually achieve them. Impact are busy boys, especially with the start of the season creeping up and all the titles to defend, but they still managed some time for a 5 from 5. FYI: JC (Justin Cornell) / KB (Keith Brown) PE: 2016. WOW! So…what can be done better in 2017? Seems pretty hard to improve on the double right? That aside, how good does it feel to finally be NXL World Cup Winners and what are your goals fo...

Capping off a busy 2016 scenario paintball season, Team Capital Offense met up for their annual year-end event.   It’s one that thousands of players from around the world have attended for over a decade – the Fulda Gap Mega Game . For those of you as yet uninitiated to this one, here’s the quick scoop. It’s a large-scale game simulating a Cold War era military scenario of a WARSAW land invasion of Europe. Don’t want to dive into the history? Think approximately 1500 players, bases and forts all over a giant paintball field, tanks galore, anti-tank rocket launchers, a mess of snipers rocking First Strikes, big name vendors, and some of the best teams in scenario paintball.   Now stretch that over two days with many of the teams choosing to stay on site to camp (some come as early as Thursday), and you’ve got yourself a year-ending paintball bash! Once again this year we had our friend from across the sea, Jack Wood, running and gunning with the TCO crew. He was joine...

NM-Norwegian Masters NM is always an exiting tournament. The field is always secret so no one gets to practice on it before the tournament. This is also always an area for discussion, but that’s also part of the NM-warmup. This year’s field-layout was made by Nick Brockdorff. And to the oldies out there – no, it was nothing like the Amsterdam layout :-) Rebels started a bit rough, when you’re used to playing the fields before you use them at tournaments the first game will often hit you like a cold shower. They started out against Blast who clearly have walked the field with a better precision, 4:0 to Blast. But after a shower you will always come out fresher. The first proof of that was the next game against Oslo Embers – 4:1 with energy to spare. Then they met Rampage, a young team with a lot of fight in them, but this time they couldn’t match Rebels at all 4:0 win. Last prelim game was NTNUI black, a up and coming d1 team from Trondheim who have ...
