Infamous: Most of the early Infamous roster read like the roster of Avalanche before it (also
on this list), with some added
talent like Andy “AK-47” Kopcok and
Rusty and Gator Glaze. The team was
playing as Miami Effect in the NXL that
year (2004) when it decided it didn’t
like the league’s stance that they were
not allowed to play in the NPPL so they
walked away. In their first NPPL event
they took down powerhouse Dynasty
to take first place and they repeated
that feat a few months later in Denver.
Eventually they were allowed to come
back and play in the PSP’s Division One
X-Ball later that same year and won
another event. Although Infamous has
never been as dominant as their first
season in 2004, for ten years they have
55
won a major event almost every season. Their best overall placing in recent
years was their 2012 third place in the
year-end season rankings--a year in
which they won in Chicago and placed
in the top six in all five events. They
are currently ranked 5th in the PSP and
notched another first place win the first
event of the 2014 season.
Other Infamous notes of interest:
Although Infamous has rarely missed
an NPPL or PSP event throughout their
history, they are not a team that has
traveled outside of the US, playing only
a handful of events abroad since 2006.
Had they played outside of the US more
often they easily could have moved up
this list three or more spots.
