Editing Miami Effect (section)

=== Departure of the original roster (2004) ===

Miami Effect began the 2004 NXL season under Chris LaSoya's captaincy.

Following the PSP Orlando Open, LaSoya and the majority of the team's original roster left the NXL and established Infamous.

The departing players included LaSoya, Travis Lemanski, Andy Kopcok, Jon Richardson, Rusty Glaze, Gator Glaze and Steve Rabackoff.[2]

The decision was associated with dissatisfaction over restrictions preventing NXL players from competing in other leagues, together with delays to the league's proposed television coverage and player payments.

The new Infamous organisation entered the [[National Professional Paintball League]] (NPPL) Super 7 tournament in Tampa, Florida, winning the professional division at its first event.[2][4]

Although the players had departed, the Miami Effect name and NXL franchise remained separate from Infamous.
