to the Ironmen, while team added Arturo
Andrade.
The legendary Ironmen are a team on the
move heading into 2018. The team saw
Scott Kemp retire, but added Damian Ryan
from Infamous, Trevor Resar from Infamous
and Kyle Spicka from Dynasty. Infamous saw
both Damian Ryan and Trevor Resar leave, in
addition to Max Traylor who moved to Revo,
who for 2018 will shoot Eclipse markers
and rejoin the G.I. Sportz family. AC:Dallas,
one of the standouts of 2017, will likely
remain an Empire team for the new season
and added Brandon Morales from Seattle
Thunder. Seattle Thunder, meanwhile, looks
to be shooting Shockers for 2018 after a year
behind the Luxe, and will wear UNDR soft
goods. Where will Sacramento DMG wind
up? How about the rest of the newcomers
as they face off against the top teams in the
world, along with returning pro teams like
Aftershock, PC Katana, Boom, Uprising and
the Outlaws? That’s why they play the games
and it should be exciting to watch.

NXL Europe
2018 will see European professional and
international divisional paintball played under
the NXL flag, as the NXL and Millennium
Series agreed to terms to combine. The
show will begin in April in Chartres, move to
Amsterdam for event two in May, then head
to either Dublin or London in early July (it’ll
be on that side of the Channel one way or
the other), then finish in late September in
Paris. In case anyone forgot how dominant
their season was, Edmonton Impact won
the series title on that side of the Atlantic,
too. The TonTons and the Russians will likely
have something to say about that for 2018.
A more recent change saw the league alter
its game structure in regards to paint, as
the league will allow pro teams unlimited
paint, while divisional teams will be allowed
“four pods plus a loader” for the upcoming
season. Between a new brand name, new
locations, new paint rules and new bunkers,
big league paintball in Europe is in for an
interesting 2018, but the implications of
bringing European and American paintball
