We moved to a different hosting provider for added space, and did some version updates on the site as well. Hopefully the most of you will not notice too much of a difference (if everything works, that is), but we did change the domain name to www.cyclone.fi for clarity. Traffic from the old links should be redirected automatically, but if something doesn’t seem to work, give us a shout.

Season 2011 Is Finally Here!
It’s been a long while since the tournament season has started this late for Helsinki Cyclone. Ever since the inception of the Millennium Series, the team has started the tournament season with a trip somewhere warm to play the series, or at least wait out a storm or a volcano. Or both. 
This year the Cyclone family has a few weddings and a bunch of other responsibilities that forced us to take a year off from the Millennium Circuit. Fear not, we will return in 2012! Meanwhile, the SPBL Finnish league will start next weekend in Ikaalinen, and we’re STOKED!
BSC Afterparty!
After the BSC tournament on Saturday there seems to be no official afterparty for the event. Luckily our supporter, The Tiger nightclub has welcomed all the BSC players! Find us on the site for additional info!
Remember, drink responsibly and protect yourself at all times! 
WOOHOOO!

Why did KEE buy Smart Parts’ patent portfolio?
Propaintball.com has received an email announcing KEE to have purchased the Smat Parts patent portfolio in its entirety. The brief email did not offer much insight to what KEE aims to do with the acquired immaterial property rights, but after the fall of Smart Parts the speculation around the company remains has been vivid to say the least. First off, the entire bankruptcy proceeding was a long-running “solid” rumor and finally materialized after the 2009 World cup.

Interview with Mikko Huttunen – DYE Snow and LA Ironmen
Over the winter we have been reading various rumors and bits of gossip about DYE branching into snow sports, but there hasn’t been too much concrete information. With the PSP season opener in Galveston, Texas showing Mikko Huttunen amiss from the Ironmen back line, we figured that something is really bubbling under. We contacted Mikko and discussed a lot of recent topics.

PSP Galveston Final Video by Monkey With A Gun
The PSP Galveston final game is online! The series of youtube videos produced by Patrick Spohrer and Monkey With a Gun have kept me glued to the screen for a good part of the week. Have to say, that when the lack of a live webcast became clear earlier this year , I was really disappointed. In retrospect, I have to say that this is a much better option than just the live webcast with a few games possibly being onlline later, like it was in 2009. As the quality of the production has been absolutely fabulous with multiple well thought-out camera positions and Matty Marshall as the main commentator, you can only be thrilled! Enjoy the final with SD Dynasty going against Boston Red Legion!
Dynasty wins Red Legion in finals and PSP Galveston.
Dynasty takes the title winning Boston Red Legion in the finals 7-2. After impressive scores in prelim games and loosing only one match to Boston Red Legion, Dynasty gets an rematch and pulls it off in the finals. I don’t think that many of us would have predicted Dynasty winning the first event but new PSP rule changes have for sure made an difference in the Pro bracket. Congrats to Dynasty and PSP season looks to be quite interesting for 2011.
Preliminary scores from APPA
APPA doesn’t yet have official semifinal scores up but in semifinals met Dynasty vs. Infamous and
Boston Red Leg vs. Tampa Bay Damage.
Monkey with a Gun has already uploaded Dynasty vs. Boston Red Legion preliminary game to YouTube
and hopefully we will see rest of the games later.
