The NXL Europe British Invitational 2026 once again showed why CPPS has earned its reputation as one of Europe’ s premier paintball venues. Four days of competition, teamwork, and unforgettable moments proved that tournament paintball in the UK continues to go from strength to strength.
As teams pack away their gear and look ahead to the next challenge, one thing is certain— the battles fought at CPPS will be remembered long after the final paint has dried.
Pro
Coming off of an outstanding performance in Czechia, ALA Warsaw and Ranger Warsaw both ran through the prelims of the British Invitational at a sprint. Not only were both teams undefeated, but they both did it with an average five-point margin. Ranger stacked up a stunning 23 points, and ALA put up 22 points including the massive 8 that they issued to Shock in their 8-2 win that would land Shock in the Ochos, setting up the mountain they would climb.
Joy Division joined them in the undefeated club to take the three seed, but that wasn’ t exactly a pass. They saw Ronholt Dynamite in the quarterfinals. Shock’ s loss against ALA in the prelims was not a slip. ALA is proving they belong amongst the cream of the crop, but after Shock issued an earlymorning departure to Section in the Ochos, they were primed for the rematch in the quarterfinals. 6-3 Shock.
The quarterfinal upset was issued by # LTF to Ballern Factory, but their run was quickly squelched by Ranger in a 5-2, and then the Semis saw an old rivalry slugfest between Shock and Joy Division with Shock coming away with a 5-3 win.
But the finals left everyone in attendance- for lack of a better word- utterly Shocked. In a high-stakes, high-octane match that caught Shock by surprise, these teams put on a show for the crowd, lighting up the scoreboard with a stunning seventeen points between them before Ranger came away 11-6.
