NXL Midwest Open June 2026

Nick Slowiak | BKi Tenured PROfessor & Layout Specialist
Nick Slowiak is a tenured BKi PROfessor and the mind behind the layout breakdown series. As BKi's resident layout specialist, Nick has a rare ability to walk a field and immediately identify what matters — break shot windows, bunker progressions, bounce possibilities, and the spots most players won't find until it's too late. Whether he's drawing up live breakout plays on the diagram board or breaking down why the view from the box changes everything, Nick makes high-IQ paintball accessible for every level of player.

Ronnie Dizon | BKi PROfessor & Houston Heat
Ronnie Dizon is a professional paintball player for Houston Heat and the newest member of the BKi PROfessor Club. A back center specialist with a sharp eye for lanes, field reads, and player tendencies, Ronnie brings a pro player's perspective straight from the competitive field to the breakdown board. He was on the ground in Northern Indiana setting up the Midwest Open layout the day before this breakdown was recorded — and came ready to talk through every inch of it.
