All the winners from the 2025 NXL Paintball Summit Awards, Presented by the Major League of Paintball showcasing the best paintball players in the world, the best media members, and best paintball fields.

This sport was built on heart, on grit, on shared effort. For years, it didn’t matter who you were; race, gender, background, beliefs; if you showed up, you belonged. It was raw, weird, sometimes immature. But it was ours. All equalized by the paintball marker in your hand, and a story defined by what you did with it.

Philadelphia Iconic, the factory team of Iconic Paintball entered into the first ICPL event of the year with a trimmed roster to fit the "no pros in amateur" rule changes from recent years. Headlined by former pro legends like Nicky Cuba and Carl Markowski along with our arsenal of local divisional talent, we went into the event with high expectations.

No matter where Markus was, he always seemed to end up with the de facto role as life of the party. 

Our look at the 50 Greatest Paintball Players of All-Time analyzes each player's career and determines why they belong on the list. There was a criteria that was used when I set out to build this list and many pro players, coaches, and legends of the game were consulted.

It’s been five years since Tim Montressor died. I still don’t know how to talk about it without my throat tightening up a little bit. Five years since the phone calls and text threads went quiet; since the field lost one of its loudest voices and kindest hearts.
