In the pro division Edmonton Impact had not lost a single
match in the U.S. or Europe all season coming into Dallas,
winning both the NXL Las Vegas Open and the Millennium
Series Mediterranean Cup. Could they possibly keep up
that pace? San Diego Dynasty, second place finishers in
Las Vegas have not had the kind of consistent play many
would expect. Could they make another run at winning
an event? And then there was Los Angeles Infamous—a
team that always seems to play well in Texas, reminiscent
of the early days of the NPPL when the Ironmen won the
Texas Open four straight years. Would the (re)addition of
Alexander Berdnikov help bring the Moscow Red Legion
back to what they once were? So many questions, and so

once again
brought professional and divisional paintball back to the
great state of Texas for their second event of the 2016
season. The chosen venue for the NXL Texas Open was
the Texas Motor Speedway, located 30 minutes or so from
both Dallas and Fort Worth. As anticipated the event
drew a large number of teams… 189 to be exact. Both the
grandstands and the VIP seating were completely sold out
by Saturday and the games didn’t disappoint.
