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...

And last, but not least we caught up with the 2017 NXL semi-pro champions – Sacramento DMG – to find out about their Pro debut in Vegas. 1 – NXL Vegas was your Pro debut, which is a massive step for any team. In your opinion, how did Vegas go for you guys?  2018 NXL Las Vegas Open was an opportunity to learn for Sacramento DMG. We had our new equipment, and everything was feeling to par! Our DMG edition CS2’s were flawless, making it a breeze to focus on the game. However, as a team we made mistakes; we also made very high level intelligent plays. We had goals set for the event that we left on the table. Though, we prospered in what could have just been a negative outlook for that event. We came together and talked and talked about the moment, and the future. We truly saw what we could do when we were all instinctively operating intelligently in unison. We are a force to be. It is only a matter of time. 2 – Let’s talk matches. Which game made you guys realise Pro...

New York Xtreme kicked some ass in the 2017 semi pro season and brought us a fantastic World Cup final against DMG. And now, this old school franchise is back where it belongs. Amongst the Pros. We caught up with Beau Milo of NYX to ask them three simple questions about their Pro debut. 1: NXL Vegas was your pro debut, which is a massive step for any team. In your team’s opinion, how did Vegas go for you guys? Going Pro is always the goal when paintball teams are started. For NY Xtreme it is what has driven us to get to this point. When we started our team as NY Outlaws 4 plus years ago someone gave me some advice "if you guys can stick together for three years you will have a great shot to turn Pro". We have worked hard over the past 4 years and feel like even though we didn't win the semi pro division we have been one of the most consistent teams in that division. Prior to starting our team a few of our players had already played pro, but for the most part it wa...

The first event of the 2018 NXL season, the Las Vegas Open, was an event of many, many firsts. First up, the incredible Eclipse CS2 was launched just in time for our top tier teams to hit the field with the very latest and greatest piece of Eclipse game-winning equipment. It was also the PRO debut for three of our teams, Sacramento DMG, New York Xtreme and Scottsdale Elevation - and the latter... well, they were penned as the whipped boys. But they were wrong. Very, very wrong. So we contacted the three new additions to the Pro division and ask them three simple questions about their Las vegas Pro debut. We caught up with Ryan Bosch and  Auggie Orozco  who were more than happy to climb down from cloud nine and share their thoughts. 1: Hi guys. NXL Vegas was your pro debut, which is a massive step for any team. In your team’s opinion, how did Vegas go for you guys? Vegas went better than good. Obviously our dreams are to win, but going into the Vegas event the gener...
