Summing up the Cyclone DYE Pro Training Day

Posted by  on 16 July 2010, 10:59 am

Wow, a week has already flown since we had the privilege of having Mikko, Pete and Devon with us for a great day of pro player tips, tricks and drills – sorry about the delay. If you missed the event, you really missed out on a lot of good stuff and there is no excuse for you. Except maybe for Hilu, who called us early in the morning quite upset complaining that “for NINE MONTHS she has been swelling up slowly and steadily, going past the due date just to give birth TODAY! TODAY OF ALL DAYS!” There’s little you can add to that..

Millennium Basildon 2010 – Saturday and Sunday

Posted by  on 9 July 2010, 9:51 am

To start Saturday we had one victory in and one tight loss in our pocket. We were anticipating a tight game against our good friends the Amsterdam Sabotage 2 so we changed our strategy so that we would push way harder from the midfield and M-side to compensate the lack of aggression seen in our games on Friday.  The winner would secure a spot on Sunday so the stakes were high.

Millennium Basildon 2010 – Friday

Posted by  on 3 July 2010, 2:01 am

Today was a day of mixed feelings. We got to the site a bit before midday, and the place was hot already with quite a bit of moisture in the air, sucking a lot of energy off the players. We had no bigger issues as we had a proper pile of water, fruits and sports drinks to keep us going for the couple of games we had scheduled.

Millennium London Schedule

Posted by  on 2 July 2010, 1:58 pm

Our first game will be against Spartans Athens at 14:30 GMT.

Next 16:30 against 7ene Compagnie Nancy.

Last Prelim will be in Caturday 14:00 against our friends Amsterdam Sabotage 2.

It’s a pity that the Div 1. is only a shadow of it’s former self. Playing against the same teams is a bit boring.Bonus side for this is that you get to know your opponents better: Do they play aggressive or defensive, if they have starplayers, how good their aim is, etc. The other thing to keep in mind is that often the roster of a team can change drastically between tournaments. At least ours has. We have about 12 persons on the active European tournament roster and those are seeded to play tournaments according to free time/money/performance. Good thing about this is that we are more unpredictable. Down side in this is that, because Paintball as a team sport on our level demands that you know the playing styles of your field mates intimately, the optimal mix of styles are not always achieved. I feel that in London we have a great team on site and expect results to confirm this. So you better step up boys!

Hopefully our guys will fill our hungry minds with results and thoughts here or in Facebook
