Chicago Aftershock , a Pro mainstay for decades is back in the NXL after a four-year hiatus . They faced some tough sledding as well , with just one preliminary round win ( versus ASG Aftermath ). ‘ Shock has a solid roster with great coaching and leadership and I have no doubt they will be competing at a much higher level as the season moves along . The Midwest Saints , NRG Elite and Columbus LVL are no longer competing in the Pros .
San Diego Dynasty came into the NXL Las Vegas Major as reigning back to back to back to back season champions , matching the longest string of Pro season titles accomplished by Edmonton Impact from 2014 to 2017 . Tampa Bay Damage also came into Vegas following a nice two-event win season in 2023 . In fact , Dynasty and Damage won all five 2023 NXL Pro events .
Things started out as they usually do in the Pro division , with San Diego Dynasty , Houston Heat and Edmonton Impact each winning their four preliminary round games . Red Legion , Baltimore Revo and Los Angeles Infamous each won three first round games .
In the Ocho rounds San Antonio X-Factor bounced Baltimore Revo and ASG Aftermath ran all over the Brooklyn Bears to move on to the quarterfinals .
Aftermath continued their excellent play in the quarters sending Houston Heat home in one of the surprise matches of the event . San Diego Dynasty sent San Antonio X-Factor packing in a close 3-2 game . The New Orleans Hurricanes then beat Los Angeles Infamous and Red Legion , playing their strongest paintball since Covid-19 wrecked tournament paintball , beat Edmonton Impact 5-4 . www . paintball . media
