Now that the Millennium Series have increased the CPL to 20 teams, the CPL teams are starting to roll in. Rønholt Blast have confirmed they will be making the leap from the SPL to the CPL for the 2017 season. Blast finished last year in 4th place overall; their best finish was 4th place at both the Chantilly and Bitburg events. With the Millennium’s move to 20 teams in their premier division, the league is in need of six…

A few days ago My Fanwagon released the top players for the 2016 NXL World Cup. By now most of you know that Edmonton Impact took home the victory in the Pro division. To little surprise Impact have quite a few players at the top of the My Fanwagon rankings. My Fanwagon is ranking Nick Leival 1st overall.

he day the Spire hit the market, it was instantly the most popular high-end loader in paintball. At the time there were three high-end loaders on the market—the Empire Prophecy, Dye Rotor, and Virtue Spire—and the Spire was the clear winner. The Spire was simpler, smaller, lighter, and it just plain worked. That isn’t to say that the loader was perfect; it did have its faults. The Spire, while amazing, did have some bugs. One…
