KC Damage
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]

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.
