NXL Paintball 2022 Lone Star Open Recap - Dallas, Texas

The National Xball League returned to Giant Party Sports in Allen, TX for the second year in a row to host the 2022 Lone Star Open. 133 paintball teams signed up to compete in multiple divisions ranging from Professional level X-ball, Mechanical 7-man and Female 3-man.

PRO X-BALL

The Pro X-ball Division had a lot of tough competition on the unique layout that was not traditionally mirrored. This made for some aggressive play across the field, and some exciting moves up the middle.

Edmonton Impact, New Orleans Hurricanes, Houston Heat, MLKings, NRG Elite, San Diego Aftermath, Tampa Bay Damage, and Los Angeles Infamous found their way into the top 8 going into Sunday.

After some close games in the quarter and semi-finals, Tampa Bay Damage took 1st place over Edmonton Impact after an exciting overtime that head to one-on-ones with Jacob Edwards firing the winning shot for Tampa Bay causing the entire venue to erupt in celebration.
