not an ego, but not an angel either.

btw. micheal venezia questing envy. where using complete envy outfit including pants,jersey and gun.
Yeah I think that's a hellwood shocker.
But I assume that that's a pontual situation, maybe his gun wasn't ready or stopped working and in an x-Ball match you'll just grab what you have at hand really, that's most likely what happened.
I seriously doubt he would pre meditadetly choose to use a different gun and risk getting in trouble with his sponsors.
As for Mike Venezia, I don't really know what the case is, but there are plenty of players that in the US play for completely different teams (sponsorshipwise) in NPPL and PSP and the sponsors on either side seem to be ok with it.
Alex Lundqvist playing on Jersey Authority for NPPL and for Russian Legion in the PSP is an example as they have different sponsors, so maybe sponsors won't mind either if players choose to find a different team for the Millennium Series.
If that is the case, then the jersey thing won't really make any difference, nor will the gear obligation.
Maybe limiting the number of "foreign" players wouldn't be such a bad idea to sort this situation out.
