No.1 Nexus fans and Spain’s craziest team, Angry Fish, win the Madrid X-Ball League. Played in wind and rain that would have made you think you were in the UK, Angry Fish played some solid paintball to lift the trophy.

Leire Goeikola (she isn't the teams mascot by the way but one of the teams full on killers) said that her DM8 was “LOOOOOOOooooooovely!”

In English that translates to; “I was very happy with my DM8. It didn't skip a beat all weekend even in the terrible weather we had. I would highly recommend picking one up!”

Congrats guys!
Keep up the good work
