=== XSV championship years ===

XSV became one of Dynasty's principal competitors during the mid-2000s.

At the 2005 NPPL Denver Open, held on 22-24 July, XSV defeated Dynasty in consecutive games to win the professional championship.

The victory was XSV's first professional tournament win in the NPPL Super 7 series.[10]

In March 2006, XSV won the NPPL Huntington Beach Open, again defeating Dynasty in the final.

The result made XSV the first team other than Dynasty to win the Huntington Beach professional championship since the introduction of the Super 7 format in 2003.[11]

The team followed this result with another victory at the NPPL Tampa Open in May 2006.

XSV defeated Dynasty in consecutive final-round games, securing its second professional championship of the season.[12]

Despite leading the 2006 standings for much of the season, XSV finished second in the overall NPPL professional championship behind Dynasty.[13]

Telford continued competing with XSV during subsequent seasons, including the 2007 PSP professional X-Ball series.

He also participated in international competitions with European teams, including [[Joy Division]] and [[Image (paintball team)|Image]], during the Millennium Series era.[1]
