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.

When the leafs start falling from the trees and the night frost start to set in, paintball players in Norway order some hard practice paint to handle the temperature drop and start preparing for the last tournament of the year; the last leg of the Millennium-series- in Paris. Little did we know that playing this year’s Paris event would be just like playing back home in Norway at this time of year, but more on that later. We decided we would enter two teams this year; we have done this before but not in the same division. This time we entered two teams in Div. 2, Slagen Bandits Gold and Slagen Bandits Silver.  For all the players on Gold this was familiar territory, everybody had several Paris events under their belts. For most of the Silver team this was uncharted territory and a new experience. Due to the locked divisions in the Millennium-series, div 2 is always unpredictable in terms of the quality of the opposition, especially in the last event of the year and...
