Endings and beginnings

Hello dear friends! Like you might have noticed, our site has been a bit quiet lately and most of our activity is nowadays located at facebook… Well, FB might be the thing today but don’t forget this site, we are going to update the site now and in future to come

But why so quiet? Well you can imagine how much we disappointed to ourselves when we couldn’t renew the championship. It was right in front of us and we could’ve secured the title in two different tournaments but things came up and better teams won. Congrats to Trivoga for the first title to their team ever and congrats for Dream Team for keeping their stuff together for years and years. Anyway, the season didn’t end that badly, 2nd place for our league team was nice and it’s a lot better to end up 2nd and not 3rd ;) Our Div 1 team Cyclone VDO managed to do well also, they came 3rd. 3rd place is quite nice because the team is put up mostly for bringing up new players and bringing the experience to them.
Anyways, season 2011 struck hard and everyone knows what we are chasing in 2012, there is only one thing that we are after for and we’re gonna get it this time

And speaking of season 2012; league starts later in may but the indoor season has already begun. We’re going to have a secret practice session in a secret place and you will hear from that later. The next big thing will be the winter series 2012 and the first leg will be played here in Helsinki at 22nd of this month. We’re really looking forward to it because it’s going to be a riot: the action is brought to you by Copenhagen Ducks, STHLM Ignition, Instinct Gemoss, Fieldfighter, Urho, Takeover, GH-paintball Team and of course, us, Helsinki Cyclone!
See you all there!

LiveLeague 2011:Oulu (#4)

Polar bears ahoy! Oulu is a former big technology center of Finland. Situated in the Gulf of Botnia, with Sub arctic weather. Both Finnish weather services promise atypically warm weekend, with temperature rising to low 20′s Centigrade. Hope they are also atypically acurate in their forecasts, because they’ve been lousy all summer. Ah, but don’t let me digress any more, you’re here for Finnish League round #4.

Last round. Last push of the season. With troublesome #3 round we are now tied in the first position with Trivoga. Dream Team also has a possibility of being Champions, but both Trivoga and We need to play really lousy. It will be interesting to see how the teams will cope with the different field design.

Liveleague and LiveBlog will continue with only League, sorry. Scores and standings after the break.

Justin Rabackoff goes through New Jersey performance

Social Paintball has been quick to get J-Rab’s interview online. It seems that the curse of the third tournament is also present at the pro level, and just like us, everything seemed ok up to the point when it was proven that it was not. I’m really pleased that Social Paintball did the interview and that J-Rab found the decency and sportsmanship to try and explain  the best he could.

Like said before, you should really subscribe to Social Paintball’s Youtube channel to stay in the loop!

LiveLeague 2011:Turku (#3)

After most of our team has had some summer holiday action in resorts around Europe, it is time for next Finnish league. Actually we are not in Turku, but in Piikkiö. A nice rural industrial area, where Dream Team has their field.

After two victories in earlier leagues we are coming to Turku with a strong training resume under our belt. Even with holiday season underway we continued with our standard 3-times-a week practice pulse. It was nice to see other teams also wanting to train with us and on Wednesday we played ~15 points with Dream Team on the league pitch. We were humbled by DT’s strong gun power and took only a few points during the evening. I am sure that we are now more pumped up, as we don’t want to repeat this on league-proper.

As standard we will be giving league scores point by point and Sundays Division 1 games game by game. Liveblogging is still under advisement but we will see what we can do.

League Round #2 Kirkkonummi, postmortem

Second league round is now behind us and What results! We took the league round by storm and division 1′s respectable second position was great advancement from the disappointment of the first round.

Saturday started with league and first matchup was Cyclone vs. Urho. Urho’s roster has changed quite a bit from last year and they ended last in SPBL’s first round. We started the game aggressive with pushing both sides of the field. We took the first point. In next point Urho shot our guys from the moves and Raffe was left alone in the snake. 1-1.  Point number three ended up to Cyclone with a 141 for Urho deciding the point. 20 seconds was enough to choose a victor for the fourth point with both sides of the field rampaged by our guys. You would think that this would have broken the back of Urho, but they mustered their players and quickly took next two points. Last point was again a quick point and we took a close 4-3 victory. Some of the loosing points were decided by penalties, which have been a problem point for us in the past. So in next games we needed to be more strict with our own eliminations.

SK Moscow videos from Millennium Bitburg 2011

SK Moscow have again really made an effort in getting high quality material of CPL games. Absolutely fantastic stuff, they seem to be getting more and more cameras to each event and the editing makes sure everything worth seeing is captured on tape. Memory card. Whatever. Great stuff anyway!
