The same account records a Division 2 overall championship during the team's first MY-NPL season.[7]
2008–2010 MY-NPL championships
[edit]Nemesis won Division 1 at the 2008 Malaysian National Paintball League finale, ahead of MacDev Ronin, Zealous and Wolverinez Sinar FM. The published results also named Nemesis Legion as the Division 1 overall champions.[1]
At the 2009 Malaysian National Paintball League finale, Nemesis Legion secured the Division 1 season title by defeating Deltarovers in the quarter-finals. They subsequently lost to Raskal in the semi-finals and defeated Wolverinez Sinar FM 2–0 in the third-place match.[2]
Nemesis Legion won both the Division 1 finale and the overall season championship in the 2010 Malaysian National Paintball League. Deltarovers finished second at the finale, followed by Raskal and Legionnaires.[3]
