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

Posted by  on 15 June 2010, 9:48 am

PSP Events has launched an new version of their website adding new features and bringing event videos and pictures more available . With Chicago event starting this Thursday and divisional teams starting their games first its going to be interesting to see if we will have even better coverage from on-site. Even when PSP couldn’t afford to produce web cast for Phoenix this year they put great effort to having game updates trough social media. Hopefully we can see some daily clips and gallery updates.

Rare occasions..

Posted by  on 10 June 2010, 11:59 am

By stumbling around the internet video sites and being a fan of (or liking, as it now goes) everything on Facebook, you get mostly tons of pointless and repetitive c**p, kinda like your million TV channels with nothing good on, ever. Except for Family Guy. On rare occasions, however, something nice crosses your path.

Victorious at last!

Posted by  on 2 June 2010, 4:34 pm

Five years.

That’s a long time by any standard. For a team that has been almost completely rebuilt and then nourished in the shadow of past success, it’s a long time to struggle for those rare rays of light. Already at the end of last season we felt that we are definitely on the right path, and the team headed into the off-season with a clear goal to make the last push to the top.  A lot of hard work has been put in, the countless hours of practises have finally started to pay dividends. Helsinki Cyclone won again.

On the way to Ikaalinen

Posted by  on 28 May 2010, 7:55 pm

So, the first weekend of the Finnish National League is here, and we are litterally on the way.. In Helsinki the weather was nice when we set off, we’ll have to wait 60km to see what it’s like in Ikaalinen. So far, It’s a bit overcast but hopes for tomorrow are quite nice.. Hopefully it’ll be as nice as it was outside the terrace of Weeruska in Helsinki.

Thoughts on Physical Training, Mind Games Continued

Posted by  on 9 March 2010, 9:00 am

In my first post on this site, I pondered about the strains that tournaments put on our body and mind. The solution for body was covered, and is nothing new, but what about the mind? Again most of these ideas are presented in other channels, but I see them important enough for repetition.

The mental side of paintball is often thought to be a totally different animal and it’s training somewhat unquantifiable. I think this only partly right. Physical training, when done well is about getting you to push through those mental limits that we all have. This constant “overdoing it” prepares the mind for the torrential rains of London, the heat of Malaga and the top players of the game. It really is the old platitude: No pain no gain.

Thoughts on Physical Training

Posted by  on 5 March 2010, 9:39 am

I’m the first to admit that I hate winter. Especially this one where all warmth has left us Finns to the embrace of record snow falls and at worst -25 degrees Celsius temperatures and gusty winds. This has been a time, when I’ve doubted my sense to go jogging into the bitter cold. Thank the maker for gyms and central heating.

I believe that physical fitness is something Finnish Paintballers aren’t concentrating enough on. Of course we, the competition paintballers, have left behind the time, when our back players were all over 30 BMI. Still, Cyclones target for this year: getting to play all the games in the final day of all the Millennium tournaments, is something I think few of us Finns are equipped to deal with. It really takes endurance both from the body and mind to keep pushing through those snakes point after point and game after game.
