28 The seventh installment of Living Legends, a game that has become one of paintball’s must-attend events in record time, was held May 16-18 outside Chicago, Illinois. Well over two thousand players of all skill levels from around North America and beyond converged on CPX Sports in Joliet to enjoy a remarkable paintball park, camaraderie, epic gunfights, a large vendor presence and, of course, some of paintball’s Living Legends and most popular personalities. With more players, more vendors, a remarkable venue and some of the most influential people in paintball’s history, Living Legends Seven was an incredible paintball event! Created by Sean Scott, hosted by CPX Sports and produced by Kerry “Viper” Rosenberry and company, Living Legends was envisioned as a paintball game where paintball players of all walks of life and skill levels could come together and hobnob with some of the sport and industry’s most influential personalities akin to the “old days” of the Amateur Open. This has been achieved, as Living Legends quickly grew beyond one thousand players and, for 2014, drew well over two thousand players to Chicago-land, along with some paintball’s greatest personalities. Bud Orr, creator of the legendary Autococker line of paintball guns and former owner of Worr Game Products, attended the event, along with John Gregory, founder of JT. Other paintball industrialists, personalities and stars at Living Legends Seven included Dan Colby of Air America and Immortal Air, “Happy” Holton, Sal Briguglio, Mike Phillips of TechPB, who acted as general of one team, Wolf, Mike Paxson, Rocky Cagnoni, Sonny Lopez, several members of professional team Infamous, June 2014 February 2014
