The new guys , PaintballFit and Blast Camp each won two first-round games in Texas .
And for Pro paintball in Dallas in 2024 , this was it . It was decided that in an effort to keep the Pro players safe , the remainder of Pro games will be played at the Mid Atlantic Open next month in Atlantic City .
It was determined by the league that divisional teams are immune from lightning strikes or potential tornados [ sarcasm mode off ]. Seriously , how fun was it watching the pro gems played in the mud ?! And yeah , I understand why the divisional rounds played through the weather . The vast majority of those teams don ’ t travel to all five events so this was their one and only chance to finish the event , and having them use the pro field allowed for more games to be played more quickly . Smart move Tom Cole .
In the Semipros Leverage picked up right where they left off in Vegas , putting a major beatdown on their four bracket opponents by a combined score of 18-7 . Ology , who finished in fourth place in Vegas , also won their four preliminary round games . New York Wrecking Crew , Royal City Seadogs , Midwest Saints , Noobies , TJBastards , Chicago Distortion , Greenville Growl and Outlaw AP Factory each won three . And when this many teams win three games or more , you know there are a bunch that didn ’ t win a game . The 2024 NXL Semipro class looks a little more unbalanced than it has in years past .
