Pro Paintball team Infamous picks from Shock, rebuilds

December 29, 2011 in Infamous, Rumor Reports

Rumors are flying that LA Infamous, an Empire Paintball team, is in the midst of relocating and rebuilding their pro paintball team.

In recent years, players from LA Infamous have been spread throughout the country. Prior to events, Infamous players would fly across the country to and from practices and meet up a week early before events. Having players residing in a handful of different states has made it difficult to practice as a team on a regular basis. This disconnect has translated into mediocre results for the all star roster.

Pro Paintball insiders report that 2012 will mark a new year and a new strategy. Travis Lemanski, Infamous team owner/player relocated to Detroit, Michigan. Just a few weeks before the 2011 PSP World Cup, Mid-West  natives Damian Ryan and Brad McCurley left Chicago Aftershock and joined Infamous.

According to sources, Ryan and McCurley were only the beginning of the exodus from Shock. Following in their footsteps today are Drew Templeton, Chris Sosine, Zack Patient, all of which have joined their former shock teammates on Infamous.

Travis Lemanski told ProPaintball;

As you can imagine, the pick ups are huge in the rebuilding of the core of infamous. Infamous is excited for the 2012 paintball season. Infamous would like to thank Empire Paintball. We wouldn’t be able to compete without their support of our team and the sport of paintball. Hope to see you all out on the paintball field.

For 2012, the rebuilt Infamous squad will call CPX Paintball Park home. The team will be based out of the Mid West area and will be holding regular practices with full intention of resuming their position in the upper echelons of professional paintball.

What are your thoughts on the new Infamous roster?

Change is coming for Chicago Aftershock

May 4, 2011 in Aftershock

Long time Chicago Aftershock player and coach Jeremy Salm and the team have parted ways. While we are not clear on the exact reasons for the separation, rumors have circulated around the ProPaintball water cooler with a few different ideas. ProPaintball insiders suggest the teams unimpressive 0-4 finish in PSP Galveston on the heels of their 2nd place finish at PSP World Cup may have had something to do with it. Either way, with Coach Salm leaving the team and no successor announced leaves us all wondering what the immediate future holds for the team.

As previously reported, Drew Templeton left VICIOUS and rejoined his former teammates on Aftershock. Sources tell us the team is very happy with Drew and morale is high with the team. Chicago Aftershock is said to be looking for one or two more players for the remainder of the season. Drew Hire and Josh Yost are said to be trying out for the team. Josh Yost previously played on Aftershock and Drew previously played with Newport Entourage and LA Infamous.

Pro Paintball team: Chicago Aftershock

It is unclear if Chris Lasoya and Brandon Rittinghouse will remain part of the Chicago Aftershock program. Chris Lasoya played NPPL Huntington Beach with Aftershock and did well with the team. According to ProPaintball insiders familiar with Aftershock, they indicate that the team may be short on funds to fly Lasoya in to practice. Sources suggest there would be too much of a disconnect between Lasoya and the team if he was only playing events and they are working to find a solution. Brandon Rittinghouse may be leaving the team due to undisclosed reasons.
