Ok, a busy week so it took a bit longer to get this done, sorry. Playing in Sweden always feels like a second home with so many friendly faces from over the years, and this time was no different. Overall, a super event. We started our trip straight from work on Friday driving to Turku to catch the late ferry to Sweden. A bit of poor sleep, and we could enjoy a buffet-style breakfast on the boat before it arrived to Stockholm at 6.30 in the morning. The only problem with that was that the captains’ meeting in Uppsala was scheduled at 7 am.. Luckily, with the trusty GPS and the grreat Swedish road system, we arrived on the venue at 7.45 am, a hefty 15 minutes before the scheduled start of the games. Nice.

Nice vibes for May Day
In the past we did a post on Sawyer Smith, a young kid into paintball with his dad. Now PBLiveTV has had Sawyer do a bunch of Pro Player interviews for them, and at least I can’t help a grin sneeking up watching the video. The fun little interview sniplets boast a group of big-name players such as LA Ironmen’s Brandon Short, Scott Kemp and Mike Paxson as well as Junior Brown and Thomas Taylor from XSV. Check out the video below:
Yee-haw!

Friday continued:Scores
Okay, first game is done with Sugar Daddies from Sweden… Lost 4 to 3… I won’t try to save our grace, but still I think this is a good score considering. They are playing with flood lights on, so interesting times… I’m currently getting drunk with our favorite criminal Nysty and the unnamed player (Yo-L) who missed his flights. And we are envious of our guys there playing in the dark.
Update: the second game with Copenhagen Synergy went our way 4-0. We (both malaga and Helsinki) are in the groove… Hopefully.
Malaga Friday
So the games have started on two fields. Two more should be up in couple of hours. Uncomfirmed information (i.e. Rumors) says that pro teams have serious problems: Nexus has one player, Shockwave none. Chili Peppers are on their way.
Our first game will be around 16:30/16:50.
I’ll update this post and Facebook as information comes in.
Update(ish): No news, games are running no idea if on time.
Update(2): OK so DIV 1 games didn’t start earlier, sorry about that. Div 1 games are 5 hours late. We were supposed to play at 16:50 with Sugar daddies and 19:50 with Copenhagen Synergy. I guess this day is lost for us.
Update(3): Its now 17:20 over here in Malaga and 2nd game has started on Div 1. fields so by our calculation we wont have any games today.

Colorful opinions..
It seems that the new Dynasty jerseys that have just been released are dividing opinions on propaintball.com‘s facebook community:
DYE Precision picks up San Diego Aftermaths Semi Pro.
After SD Aftermath joined forces with Infamous the question of whose marker all of them would be shooting was still in the air. With the press release from DYE Precision we now have the answer. Not only did Hinman manage to secure the support of one of the mostly respected companies in paintball for their Semi Pro team but they also managed to sign an multi-year agreement witch most of current pro teams could only dream about. Being an strong local team and Mike Hinman running a successful program with raising new tallent it was more than likely an good move for the future from DYE.
