<p>Create the 2025 MLPB Pro 3v3 World Championship article with verified ESPN venue and date, NXL relationship, qualification, special rules, all match results, final placings and ESPN2 broadcast details.</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>The &#039;&#039;&#039;2025 MLPB Pro 3v3 World Championship&#039;&#039;&#039; was a four-team professional paintball tournament held on 1 August 2025 at The Stadium at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, Walt Disney World, Florida. Organised under the [[Major League Paintball]] banner, it featured teams from the [[National Xball League]] and was broadcast live on ESPN2.[1][2][3]<br /> <br /> [[Edmonton Impact]] won the championship, defeating [[San Diego Dynasty]] 6–5 in the final.[4]<br /> <br /> == NXL relationship and qualification ==<br /> The organiser described the championship as a competition for the four leading teams in the NXL professional season rankings. The participating teams were PaintballFIT, San Diego Dynasty, Edmonton Impact and Red Legion.[2][5]<br /> <br /> The championship used a separate Major League Paintball event record. It was distinct from the regular NXL professional three-player competition introduced at the [[2025 NXL Midwest Open]], and its results were not included among the events contributing to the published NXL three-player season standings.[1][6]<br /> <br /> == Date and venue ==<br /> The tournament took place on Friday, 1 August 2025, at The Stadium at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World. The official event record listed the address as 700 South Victory Way, Orlando, Florida.[1]<br /> <br /> Spectator admission was free, with gates scheduled to open at 9.30 am.[1]<br /> <br /> == Rules ==<br /> The championship used a modified three-player X-Ball format designed for the event.[2][5]<br /> <br /> * Matches lasted ten minutes.<br /> * Each player began each point with one hopper and two pods of paint.<br /> * The clock continued running between points until the final 30 seconds, when it stopped between points.<br /> * Points were scored by pressing the buzzer at the opposing team&#039;s start station.<br /> * A tied match proceeded directly to a 30-second sudden-death one-on-one.<br /> * If neither player won the one-on-one, the team with the fastest point victory during regulation advanced.<br /> * The playing field measured 120 feet by 100 feet.<br /> <br /> These arrangements differed from the standard five-player NXL professional format and from the seven-minute professional three-player games advertised for the Midwest Open.[2][5][7]<br /> <br /> == Competition ==<br /> The four teams contested two opening matches, recorded as preliminary brackets in the official scoring system. Each winner advanced to the final.[4]<br /> <br /> Edmonton Impact defeated PaintballFIT 7–4, while San Diego Dynasty defeated Red Legion 6–4. Impact then defeated Dynasty 6–5 to win the championship.[4]<br /> <br /> === Match results ===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> ! Stage !! Winner !! Score !!
