NXL Chicago : Pre Game chat with Carl 'Microwave' Markowski

As we near the penultimate event of the 2017 NXL Series, the Chicago Open, we thought we'd start a new 2-part Blog series which focuses on one team and their experiences pre and post event. And who better to start with than Chicago Aftershock as they prepare for their home-town event. After a complete team rebuild and a tough 2017 season it hasn't been the most electrifying year for the Shock boys, but that doesn't mean we love them any less. So we grabbed some time with Aftershock's turbo man, Carl 'Microwave' Markowski, to find out where the team's heads are at in preparation for the 2017 NXL Chicago Open. So, Chicago Open. Home turf. Are the Shock boys PUMPED for this event or what? We always try to bring a good level of intensity into every event but the Chicago stop is different. The guys seem a lot more focused for the task at hand and have really stepped it up to prepare for this one. What’s the mood in the Aftershock camp like right no...
