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,
