Nxlasia Leg 3 of 3 2019 has just come to a close. In our second NXL ever, the UTP Gladiators scooped up third 🥉 and fourth place 🏅 in the Development Division with our new members! And for the first time ever, UTP Gladiators got a taste of Open Mech. Boy was it bittersweet.
It wasn't the outcome that we hoped for, but it was definitely our most valuable tournament experience. We learned a lot, struggled a lot, faced a lot of unforeseen setbacks with accommodation and transportation, but we had fun the most. We've met some incredible teams with incredible people too. Jimmy from Canyon Wiseguys even lent our teammate Jayden his shoes when he saw him wearing worn-out shoes. Paintballers really are amazing.)
For now, we'll keep on training and come back even stronger. It ain't over till it's over, and the battle ain't over till we've won. UTP Gladiators will return!
Big thanks to NXLASIA organizer David Guch and the entire organizing team, the exceptional photographers Bob Tahar and Wan Mad from AXMedia, and all the marshalls for giving us the opportunity to join such an amazing tournament. Special thanks to Shocker Paintball for setting us up with sweet Shocker CVOs that made it possible for us to join NXL, and thank you UTP Centre for Student Development for helping us out!
