Joy Division comes back to the States
We’ve just confirmed that Joy Division will be playing at the PSP World Cup. This is the first time in over 2 years that Joy Division has competed in an American league. Previously, the team was a top contender in the NPPL Super 7 series and repeatedly finished within the top 4 teams at each pro event. Citing politics and biased judging from the NPPL administration, Joy Division withdrew from the NPPL and left their franchise to Aftershock for the 2008 season. Joy has been taking a break from competing in America, and instead have been traveling the world acting as ambassadors to the sport and competing in various countries. After a 2 year break the Swedish dudes in leopard print are back in action and will be rejoining the PRO series.
Update: Very credible sources let us know that “all discussion has been about Joy playing PRO at World Cup”. Remember folks, you heard it here first.

joy is so going to get owned ! I will be watching every game to see the raping. However, they will probably play semi pro , so they might win a game or two
@V ah ah ah!!! Silly!!! u might think only US teams can play. I will be waiting for u at Cup at the sideline of Joy’s 1st game so we can both enjoy a great game.
That is IF you are even playing/attending a major national event and not just a 14 year old teen stating a bias opinion. ;)
Remember… Joy’s 1st game, spectator side, 50s…
Joy in Pro at Cup now that would be something to see.
Yeah its great to have both the Ton Ton’s and Joy playing in the same event.
Sources are indicating that they will be playing pro..
Joy will do well. If they play Semi, they will do very well. They have a good roster.
Joy is a solid team, I expect them to do well.
Joy is a very technical team. they know how to play but i believe the reason that US teams usually do better is because of our style of play being more freestyle as well as technical in some aspects.
regardless it’ll be good to see Joy back in the states. they were my first favorite pro team when i first got into paintball seriously.

Good Luck! it will be nice having the team at cup.
I’ve had the privilege of watching Joy play all year long when I travel overseas for the Millennium Events this year… They will do well in whatever division they end up on!!! They are a very solid, tactical team and Magued is a very smart coach… good luck to them!!!
