Recaaaaap:
So I was only originally headed to play some 10 man, but got pulled into our Div 3 line. Which worked out really well in the end. We had some amazing players with us.
Results: Team GB smashing it, great job! I heard there was some controversy but was not personally viewing so will...
The final NXL European event is nearly upon us, and it is the first normal event of the year. So all of the divisions will be represented, plus the nations games as well.
Should be an incredibly cool time, and looking forward to seeing everyone. I see Trash Pandas are going, as well as the...
As someone whos played for 30 years, and on both sides of the pond. It was such an absolutely brilliant event. I love the fact that all of my US/German friends were like...ok you weren't kidding about the site, that's the best paintball site in Europe and most of the US.
The fans on the elite...
If you fancy a little pod runnin for the Droogs pro team gimmie a shout :D Will pay in beer, at field or Spread Eagle to avoid drinking before driving.
Also I need to remember to pick up a jersey and 2 hats I've bought lol.
I'd tend to agree with that 4.
I'll go TonTons first (I think they...
So we're just about a week away from CPPS AND NXL Europe at CPPS. Easily the best event in Europe all year. Super excited to be there and see folks again.
I'll be there with the Droogs, but will be wandering around seeing all my UK friends as well, and potentially sleeping off early day...
Yea watching the livestream now, decent enough to be fair. Pbleagues doesn't have any scoring going on, so that's making it a nightmare to follow along.
It's a Pro only event, so only 1 field, run at Solms which is a pretty well known field that hosts the DPL. This is basically another DPL...
Pro Event in Germany starts...now?
Supposed to start an hour ago...and with a Facebook live feed, but here we are...with none of these things done.
Ah well...who takes the first event? Lucky's looking really strong coming off their weekend win at CPPS.
Can you ever count out the Ton Tons...
Saints made a Sunday and still going after beating Impact.
The Aftermath - Heat game has been bonkers. Heat down 5-0, now 7-7 going into OT. Aftermath takes it with 10 seconds left. So Aftermath - Dynasty, and Saints - LVL. Fair play to LVL as well, Going 5-0 including taking out RL.
So we are super lucky to have what is going to be an incredible event in July. CPPS div weekend, and the same time NXLEurope Pro's are on the Elite field. How cool is that?!!?!
Over all, 3 events total in Europe, and only 1 (again) of all divs, in France (again...).Thoughts? Frustrations?
US...
Yea TMG sold their spot to the Latin Saints.
Thunder and Brooklyn Bears...merge, but keep the Thunder name for this year
New Orleans Hurricanes win promotion to Pro, with AC Dallas(said Diesel earlier) going down.
Something like 70% of the ironmen left the team.
Jamie is awesome, he's been...
Back to back wins, back to back World Cups, and a series title...incredibly impressive.
Heard about a second 'incident' with a guy getting hit in the face a couple times with a tank, not a good look for paintball.
Video of a massive on field brawl between 2 divisional teams. Looked like a bench clearing brawl in baseball.
Supposedly due to a player losing their mask on field, and the other team continuing to shoot him. Supposedly, as this is all 3rd hand 4th hand etc.
Wow crazy end to X-Factor Heat 2.0.
Rematch of last years World Cup final, Dynasty wins the series title.
I can see X-Factor taking this, although I'd really like to see a back to back for Dynasty.
9 days away or so. Who's on track to win Pro? Who stays up and who gets relegated?
Any surprise teams going into Sunday that we haven't seen before?
This layout features a super heavy Bag side and a very challenging snake side.
So the traditional snake heavy teams may suffer. Let's see how...
So LA Wildcards, basically gamed the ID card system and played at Div 5 for soooooooo long. Just got caught.
NXL made a statement, and Mike Hinman of WCPPL.
Today has been a rough day for the sport of paintball as we all know it. We have shined light into the dark corners of the game. And we...
Everyone needs to watch the last third of the joy division breakout spa game. Wowwwwwww.
So so so good. I’m in the vip tent with the nxl management screaming at the field it was so good.
Tontons and attrition on now.
For the first time in 2 years the NXL returns to Europe. This time with zero American pro teams.
its dusty and hot and humid, and it’s France. But! Being able to see everyone again has been amazing.
Our pro squad didn’t do as well as we could have but we didn’t finish last so some positive take...
I mean it's super flat, that's cool, and all that grass is gone on sunday. Someone was saying it wasn't grass but some kind of winter wheat filler? I dunno not a farmer. It definitely looks mass planted in 'bulbs' and then expected to fill in. Normally in the states I've seen hydro seed. This...
I mean Open!
Man, if you haven't been following the FB posts from NXL on the state of their 'field' oof.
Short version NXL did an amazing deal to get a 'permanent' home for the mid atlantic open in Pennsylvania. Which is great! Except it looks like the UK event from 2018, where 5? 6? ankles...
Do it, do it, do it!
The UK refs, and the ones that are normally at CPPS are great humans, especially when compared to those giant russians and lazy americans.
(the russian dudes are actually pretty rad, but those americans...)
Really looking forward to it. Just got booked in for my first jab for May 5th. So also booked my room at the ol Spread Eagle. Fingers crossed it happens. Otherwise...guess I'll go to the RAF museum?
Just got the email yesterday with the update. They're currently on a boat from Asia to the US. So they're done and printed and being sent to the states then shipped from there to us :D
As long as this vaccine thing happens in time. I'll be leading my merry band of German (and american/whoever else we get) hooligans to both. We tend to have 2 Div 3, Div 2, and we'll have a Pro team this year as well.
I love the NXL, but gah more Paris events.
Still hoping for a Portugal...
An extremely Merry/Happy Christmas to all. Mod or User, you're all amazing and integral to advancing paintball across the UK/EMEA. Thank you all, I wish you good health, happiness, and much paintball for the new year.
