Russian Legion signs with Smart Parts!

[ramennoodles]

I just wish they would sign to a better uniform designer. I've always hated their look.

nxl changed their rules, russian legion is now entered in the psp and nppl events. smart parts owns just about all the teams in nppl in the pro division except for trauma, legacy, bob long assasin, stoned assasins, naughty dogs and infamous.

[SpecialBlend2786]

its all those teams vs trauma, legacy, and assasins, lets face it, sp owns the majority of the nxl teams.

yep.

Dye had Trauma and legacy right? Legacy under the proto banner of course, but still dye?

I can't really see that it matters what you shoot nowdays. All the modern versions of all the true top end markers perform evenly with the only limitations being hopper speed and what the paint will withstand.

I would shoot a Spyder if they would pay for my game.

The only teams out of those that are actually in the NPPL Pro division are the Assassins [BL], Infamous and the Naughty Dogs...

The only SP teams in the NPPL Pro divison are Dynasty and the London Tigers [I think Sedition also shot Shockers, but I don't know if their contract extends through this year].

And why is everyone saying that it will be SP teams v. other teams? The equipment that a team uses , as compared to what their opponents are using, doesn't really influence how they feel about each other. Take JT's top two sponsored teams... XSV and Dynasty. Every time they step onto the field there's bloodshed. Many of them are friends off the field but when a professional player steps onto the field there is one thing that he's thinking about above all - winning.

Amen!

[warbeak2099]

Oh well, I still have Avalanche, NYX, Joy Division, and London Nexus. NE Hurricanes are cool too. I feel safe that at least 3 of those teams won't go to SP.

Why bother? RL will be virtually unstoppable now.

[Scott Hudnall]

and isn't RL out of Boston now?

[pachytriton]

They're technically the "Boston Red Legion" in the NXL, but that's in name only. I think it had to do with some trademark/legal issues or NXL rules, I forget. But no, they're still very much Russian.

[magman007]

the thing about the nxl, is that 90% of the teams, never actually play in the city or near the city that they represent, its kinda like the ny giants not playing in NY any where, they play in jersey.

Sd legacy i think is the only team actually based near sd, trauma is all N/SC, miami effect doesnt play near miami much, philly americans are actually based closer to pittsburgh than anything, its all a marketing scheme.

IOW, it's another pathetic attempt to make paintball look like a major league sports team. Give it that home town feel and pro recognition. Except no one really cares outside the paintball community. I have strong feelings about the whole thing in general when it comes to tourney ball. I rather not get into it cause I have learned some people like it and some people don't. I play one tourney a year(Owners Group). The rest of the time go to big games.

could have been covered *didnt read thread*, but, no, RL never used freestyles, in fact, there are only 3 RL freestyles in existance, none of which were used by RL.
