== Playing career ==

=== Russian Legion ===

In a player profile published in February 2012, Fedorov said that he began playing paintball at a camp when he was 16 and reached professional competition through training with Russian Legion.[16]

He developed his professional career with [[Russian Legion]], a Moscow-based team that expanded into American professional competition under the Boston Red Legion name.

In a January 2012 interview, Fedorov stated that he had spent approximately eight years playing for Russian Legion.[5]

In an April 2016 interview with John Amodea, Fedorov confirmed that Russian Legion was his first professional team. He recalled the early squad as a group of friends who enjoyed spending time together regardless of their differences in age.[14]

During the 2006 season, Boston Red Legion won the NXL World Cup championship, defeating the Naughty Dogs 11–3 in the final.[1]

The team also won the 2006 NXL professional season championship, with Fedorov among its championship-era players.[1][15]

=== Philadelphia Americans ===

Fedorov joined the [[Philadelphia Americans]], also known as the Philly Americans and All Americans, during 2008.

He was selected to represent the Eastern Conference in the 2008 NXL All-Star competition alongside Philadelphia teammate Ryan Moorhead.[6]

Recalling the move in 2016, Fedorov said that leaving Russian Legion was initially daunting because he could not speak English. He credited his Philadelphia teammates with helping him learn the language and adjust to life in the United States, and remembered the period as a particularly enjoyable part of his career.[14]

In his 2012 player profile, he explained that his Philadelphia teammates had given him the nickname "K-Fed".[16]

Fedorov remained with the team for the 2009 season, competing alongside players including [[Tim Montressor]], Chad George, Ryan Moorhead and Samuel Monville.[8]

Philadelphia won the 2009 PSP Phoenix Open and finished second at the World Cup, losing the championship final to Boston Red Legion. Despite its World Cup defeat, Philadelphia won the 2009 PSP professional season championship with 370 ranking points.[7]

Fedorov subsequently returned to Russian Legion before departing for Houston Heat in 2012.[5]

=== Houston Heat ===

In January 2012, Fedorov left Russian Legion to join the newly established professional team [[Houston Heat]].

The team was formed by Randy "Sarge" Smith and assembled an international roster that included Mikhail Knyazev, Sergey Solnyshkov, Chad George, Nick Slowiak and other experienced professional players.[9]

In an interview published on 29 January 2012, Fedorov explained that he had joined the new organisation to pursue a different professional opportunity.[5]

Houston Heat won the 2012 PSP Phoenix Open and Mid-Atlantic Open. At the 2012 PSP World Cup, Houston Heat defeated [[Tampa Bay Damage]] to secure both the tournament championship and the overall PSP professional season title. Contemporary coverage highlighted Fedorov's attacking performances and his role in the team's successful inaugural season.[2]

Looking back on Heat's first season in 2016, Fedorov said that the players had initially lacked experience together but were determined to establish themselves as a team. He credited their collective effort with overcoming expectations about the new organisation.[14]

Fedorov continued playing for Houston Heat during 2013.[10]

=== Art Chaos Moscow ===

On 1 November 2013, Houston Heat confirmed that Fedorov, Mikhail Knyazev and Sergey Solnyshkov would leave the team to join [[Art Chaos Moscow]] for the 2014 season.[10]

The Russian organisation assembled a professional roster that also included Alexander Berdnikov, Pavel Lukashuk, Axel Gaudin and Clint Moore.

In August 2014, Art Chaos won the PSP West Coast Open, defeating [[Edmonton Impact]] 7–4 in the professional final.[11]

The team also won the final event of the 2014 [[Millennium Series]] at Paris-Chantilly, defeating Houston Heat 3–2 in overtime. Fedorov was identified in contemporary coverage as a major contributor during the match.[12]

In October 2014, Art Chaos won the PSP World Cup, defeating Tampa Bay Damage 7–0 in the professional final. Fedorov was among the team's principal players during the championship match.[3]

=== Return to Houston Heat ===

Fedorov subsequently returned to Houston Heat and continued competing in the American professional circuit. He was back with the team by April 2016, when ''Paintball.Media'' published Amodea's interview with him ahead of the opening Millennium Series event in Spain.[14]
