65 The Millennium Series truly is international paintball competition. And at its highest level, the CPL, the competition is fierce. The top five ranked teams in the CPL hail from five different countries. And the SPL1 and SPL2 are just as diverse at the top. The best teams in the world are no longer from the U.S. only. We finally have truly competitive worldwide play in 2014. The Campaign Cup, held near London annually has been in existence for more than 17 years. In fact the Campaign Cup predates the Millennium Series itself. So in many ways this is an historically significant tournament. And heading into this event many are wondering if we’re going to witness another step in an historic run by Edmonton Impact. This third event of the season is an opportunity for Impact to keep their unbeaten season alive, after winning the first two Millennium Series events earlier this season. So what did Impact do? How about winning their first three games in the CPL 5-0, -0 and 5-0? They were the only team with a perfect 15-0 score in the CPL through the preliminary rounds but they weren’t the only team to go undefeated. Frankfurt Syndicate, Polar Bears Tarko Sale and Breakout Spa also went undefeated in the CPL’s preliminary rounds. WWW.PAINTBALLX3.COM
