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!

The Perfect Team Dinner @ Farang

Every now and then we get together and organize a team dinner at someones house or in a restaurant. This time the event took place in one of the best asian restaurants in Finland called Farang. Farang is a modern asian gourmet restaurant which serves flavors from southeast asian kitchen. The restaurant is partially owned by Tomi Björck who is one of the finnish Master Chef judges and one of the “rockstars of finnish cookery”… and one of the chefs that ladies seem to like very much ;)

WinterCup: Cyclone finishes 2nd in the series!

Last sunday was the time for the final leg of WinterCup 2010 at Splash Arena, Tuusula, Finland. Before the last leg we were leading the series with TriThe Trophyvoga, both tied with the same points and we were the only two teams to really compete for the title. Well, sunday wasn’t our day but we still managed to get in to the semifinals and faced Trivoga. So the semifinal game was all about winning the series and this time Trivoga was a bit better and won the game 2-3. Trivoga lost the final game against Urho Musta and we won PPW Mad in the bronze game. The third place was enough for us to take the second place in the series…

Anyway this was a good practice to us for the summer and I promise we will come back stronger!

Big ups for all our opponents, our supporters and the organizers of the Winter Cup 2010!

Scream!

Yes! DYE is back with brand new red-black-gray colored NT called “Scream”. After hearing about DYE signing with SD Aftermath I would say that the deal has something to do with colouring the newest NT. In previous years we’ve seen Aftermath in red and black outfits with a little bit of gray so this gun would suit the team more than nicely. Anyways, call me what ever you want but I like these NT colors way more than I like the newest colors of Egos for example (actually I don’t like those bright colors at all).

Now its tough choice between Scream, Zombie Nation and Red Wave ;)

DYE Heads to Zombie Nation

DYE has added one new color to their expanding range of NT’s and the latest color is called “Zombie Nation”. It’s a cool combination of red and black and zombie images and it’s definitely one of the coolest guns on the market roght now!

Now I’m eager to see what else DYE is planning to do with their guns. Maybe we’ll see a couple of other intresting color combinations before the summer and maybe it’s more difficult for me to pick the weapon of choice for the season 2010 :)

Check out the Zombie Nation below:

Fuengirola Cup Confirmed!

It’s now officially confirmed that the first leg of Millennium Series 2010 will be held 16.-18. april at Fuengirola Beach, Spain.

There were some speculations that the tournament was supposed to take place in Portugal but today Millennium Series declared that the venue will be Fuengirola Beach. I guess it’s appropriate to lock down the spot because the tournament is only 3 months away now.

So the European season 2010 will start at the “beach” only a few weeks after the US season has started at Huntington Beach, CA.

Anyway, start gathering your board shorts, sun screen and sun glasses and get ready for the beach! See you all there! :)
