The third leg of the Spanish championship, EXPL, had to be played with a clean mindset, without thinking about our last performance.   https://www.facebook.com/EXPLPaintball/ Planet Eclipse managed to get us our CS2’s out just in time for the event. Without any bedding in time we had to trust they were as good as we had heard! The first match of prelims was played against the Old kids. The day could not have started more identical to that of the 2nd event. We started losing 0-3 with about 7 min of game time to be played. After a change of attitude, we pushed hard and took the win 4-3. The second match with King Paintball team was much better executed on our part. 5-1 final result. There are no easy games, as proved in the previous leg. Despite that we were confident on making a good result versus Chiclana Vulkan Green. 4-0 in 7 minutes. We took advantage of this game to test some moves on the field. The last game of the prelims with the Imperial Army was...

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.

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...

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...
