KC Damage: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 08:12, 25 October 2026

KC Damage was a New Zealand competitive paintball team that competed in the 2013 New Zealand Paintball Players League (NZPPL). It won the season's national championship tournament at Asylum Paintball in Auckland.[1][2]

History

2013 Super 5 Man Series

KC Damage competed in the three-event 2013 NZPPL Super 5 Man Series.[1]

At Event 1, held on 9–10 March at El Rancho Holiday Park in Waikanae, the team finished fifth in the Plate classification, corresponding to eleventh overall.[1][3]

At Event 2, held on 1–2 June at Adrenalin Paintball Sports in Paraparaumu, KC Damage finished second in the Cup, behind X-Fighter$ Fracture and ahead of Arachnidz.[1][4]

Following those two events, KC Damage was sixth in the published intermediate series standings. The archived table contains results for the opening two rounds but leaves the third event blank; it is not a completed season table.[1]

2013 Nationals

KC Damage won the 2013 NZPPL Nationals, held on 26–27 October at Asylum Paintball in Auckland.[2][5]

A Blacksheep Communications press release published on 16 March 2014 records the leading tournament results:[2]

Position	Team
1	KC Damage
2	Wellington Vendetta
3	X-Fighter$ Fracture

KC Damage's Nationals victory was separate from the overall series championship. The release identifies X-Fighter$ as the season winner after two event victories and third place at the final tournament.[2]

Tournament results

Date	Competition	Venue	Result	Source
9–10 March 2013	2013 NZPPL Super 5 Man Event 1	El Rancho Holiday Park, Waikanae	5th in Plate; 11th overall	[1][3]
1–2 June 2013	2013 NZPPL Super 5 Man Event 2	Adrenalin Paintball Sports, Paraparaumu	2nd in Cup	[1][4]
26–27 October 2013	2013 NZPPL Nationals	Asylum Paintball, Auckland	1st	[2][5]

Historical identification

The tournament records identify KC Damage by name but do not supply a complete playing roster or establish its founding date.[1][2]

The Kāpiti Coast locations recorded for the opening two events are tournament venues, rather than evidence of the team's home region.[3][4]

KC Damage is treated separately from the Christchurch team Damage Inc. A shared name does not establish a predecessor relationship, and no verified roster transition between the teams has been established.
