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.

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.

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
Mikko Huttunen, Pete “Mr. U” Utschig and Devon Stutz will be hosting a pro day at our training field in Tuusula on Friday, July 9th 2010 from 12.00 to 17.00 (5 PM). Due to the time constraints, the number of participants is also limited to ensure proper attention to each. We can only take 20 participants in total, and there are only a few places left!

AlmostFamous paintball has posted up a mid-season clip of NuSkool Wrecking Crew, the team Kasimir has been practising with. The video itself is nothing earth-shattering, but it gives again a nice perspective to the different style of play across the pond. These kids are putting in a lot of time and effort, and we will surely hear of them in the future. Actually, there have already been little birds singing about one of the NuSkool kids in special, and as the chorus for that birdsong there has been the name of a well-established pro team.. Time will tell. Meanwhile, check out the clip below:

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.
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.
