NXL on ESPN2

[Blennidae]

I think its sad ESPN gave this an hour, but only give the PB2X show 30min. Its not much better, but it does show more aspects of paintball in general.

If its true about having ESPN only shoot footage of SP sponsored teams, its pretty shady.

Anyone catch the strange player's gun (About Phillys 9th point or so) dump about 15 rounds into the snake in front of him when his fingers were clearly off his trigger?

HAHA, I saw the backwords C he put into it, that was great...

all and all(just like the xbox game), far from perfect but a step in the right direction

Let me rant about how crappy this was.

Off the break on one round there were 6 camera shots in about 6 seconds. How about we just show the break offs splited down the middle not to mention the NYX's accent who made me want to drive bambo shoots up my finger nails. I felt like i was having seizures from the flashing camera angles. Don't bother wasting your time guys on downloading it, it just sucked

"How many balls fit in THAT HOPPE OMTG!!!"

"About 200 *stupid Australian accent*

(all going on while images of players flashing)

They should have gotten Will Arroyo (now out of paintball) or Matty Marshall...at least they can make it sound interesting and they have one thing that announcing team lacked..it's called "personality"...

Its also called knowing what they are talking about and not having the feeling of putting a gun to your head.

uhh, no 1one in the NXL gets to choose their markers, those teams are both SP teams, which explains the shockers, also, SP did some tricky business, and only got the camera crews to film games with smart parts teams in them, so their stuff would be represented (which is why some teams didnt play at all this event, taht was gay so they boycotted sp (and NXL) by not playing)


SP

You must be kidding me ... and they allowed to continue this crappy stuff?

[P8NTBALLER590]

and you couldn't cut it into 3 20 minute chunks because...?

it takes a while to cut it up then save it to my computer for some reason like 15 minutes at least for each one

Here's the deal why SP teams were the only one's shown. The game that was shown was the final match of the event, Strange was a huge underdog, and beat both Trauma and The Assasins to get into the finals Philly beat Aftershock and Miami Effect to make it to the finals.

It's fun to say that the whole thing was rigged, but if you think that either Baltimore or Oakland would take a dive for whatever reason and you'd be insane. Odds work out in SP's favor NXL team sponosrship-wise as well, because they are major sponsors of 3 teams(philly, miami, and detroit), then again Dye sponsors 4 teams(NY, LA, SD, CHI). I'm sure if it were 2 Dye teams no one would say anything though.

Didn't see the show, saw the match live though, the one problem was that this particular match was for all the glory and both teams were playing very careful, making it one of the more unexciting NXL games I've ever seen.

P.S. Ny accents make me insane, and I live here.

is it true after 3 pulls they are allowed to do full auto in the nxl, my buddy just told me that, and i think its bs but i DID just see a guy on tv shootin good n fast and it looked like his finger wasnt moving

yes, i have a strange shocker i bought from the team and it has the team NXL board and it is 3 pulls then full auto at 15 bps

[jayloo]

Yes...i think that was the most boring match of paintball I've ever seen in my life...even more so than watching a bunch of recballers with talons play speedball...

PSP is capping at 15bps

[Head knight of Ni]

Anyone else notice the SP teams are getting called for velocity? Coincidence?

Hah. You should have been there, the ref with the radar gun was standing over detroit players for a minute at a time. Only saw him over PA players for a few seconds.
