INFAMY was founded in 2003 by original members of the Reckless Rebels, a regional team out of Philadelphia Pa. Infamy was originally Mega 2, the sister team of 7-man amateur Pbmegastore.com, then owned by Briam Barno of Global Paintball. Mega 2 debuted in Miami of 2002 at the Nppl Commanders Cup. After competing in several events, Pbmegastore had to retire due to various unforseen circumstances. And as a result Mega 2 was faced with a decision. Team founder Steve Martin a.k.a Squeaks re-organized the team under a new entity. Taking original Rebel members combined with newly recruited talent, 2003 Nppl Huntington Beach would be the debut of Team Infamy. t.
Redz Infamy Semi Professional Team
The Infamy Paintball Organization began in 2003 with the forming of a novice divisional team. Many of the members came from various teams within the PA tri-state area to compete in the national leagues. Although little known, Infamy fast became a strong competitor in the league as they played against the some of the best teams in the nation.
After 2 years in the novice division, Infamy experienced moderate success, and showed a strong resolve when it came to playing against the pro teams within their draw. The team managed to defeat several teams and give the rest a close game. Its wasn't long after in the middle of the 2005 season, that Infamy decided to move into the semi professional ranks to see if they had the skills to challenge the teams within that league. There Infamy performed to a level that eventually earned them a respected top 5 semi pro teams out of an average of 32 teams nationally.
Finishing 19th overall in the league in the season of 2007 because of missed tourneys, the Infamy Semi Pro program had bowed out of the NPPL. They played their final event in Boston of 07 with astounding results as they soundly defeated powerhouse and arch-rival Arsenal A-team in the quarterfinals advancing them into the semi finals. They performed with utter determination as they faced New England Hurricanes sister team Boston Paintball and SD Aftermath. After a close 3 game battle, Boston managed to pull out a 3rd place after winning the best out of three games. Infamy finished respectfully in 4th place.
A NEW GENERATION
Infamy now has new blood in the form of original sister team; Infamy JV. This was to be the protégé of the semi pro team. Since then, this team has grown into a very tough in your face type of competitor. Quite the opposite of its predecessor, who started out as a defensive team; Infamy JV has worked hard in a very short time since its inception in March of the 2007 season. And now the team has finished the 2008 season by becoming overall champions of the Global Paintball League series, placing three times 1st, once 2nd and 3rd. Also, Team Infamy placed 4th in NPPL D2 Buffalo event. This shows the consistency of a serious and very determined competition team.
JV has matured much in so very little time. The organization believes in a strong family like unit. The team structures like a small corporation with Team Captain Shawn Jackman overlooking the big picture of the team, Team Management by Vadim Knyazev. Coach Steve Martin a.k.a "The Squeaks" responsible for team game plans and technical skills, Steve Krumm in charge of logistics and pit crew, and Katrina Trusova runs PR and advertising for the team.
Dedication, commitment, loyalty, and respect are the pillars of which this team builds its reputation on. A strong drive to win is the wind in which the team propels itself. And a never quite attitude is what makes this team unrivaled in many ways. We are a team that believes in carrying itself with the utmost respect toward our sponsors, teammates, and fellow competitors.
