Millennium Bitburg Thread

[Spikerz]

I got shot by a lot of that in St Tropez, it struck me as very watery. Was easy to clean off the lens though.

Interesting. I know their mid level was sorta meh, and thought their top end was pretty awesome. Did not *thinking* get shot by it though, only the evil and GI.

And of course, having a couple of Infamous players with you doesn't hurt either. And why not? Everyone else does it.

Outcast and Disruption do'nt and they fought out CPPS final and Mills with all English rosters.As do Tigers and Nexus in CPL.

On the other hand, you have ML Kings Prague with something like half their roster made up of guest players...

You are correct all the above teams play the Millenniums without any US pro players on their roster, but then again look at their results so far.
Tigers 12th in Bitburg and 12th overall in CPL
Nexus 16th in Bitburg and 16th overall in CPL
Disruption 5th in Bitburg and 11th overall in SPL1
Outcast 21st in Bitburg and 19th overall in SPL1

Compared this to Manchester InFirmous who were 2nd in Bitburg and are 2nd overall SPL1 with two US players.

Seems to me it's an "if you cannot beat them you have to join them" situation.

CPL Division:
1st Houston Heat (US/Russian pro team)
2nd (=1st) Tontons (no US pro players but Axel and 4 of the Tontons also play for Russian Legion, plus Denis Golev is on their roster but I dont think he has played an event with them yet in 2015)
3rd Breakout ( Archie from X-Factor plus Ryan Brand the X-Factor coach)
4th Impact (US/Canada pro team)
5th Carnage (no pro players)
6th ML Kings ( Dalton, B-Short, Spika from Dynasty )

8th Outrage (no pro players)
9th Syndicate ( Goldman (Mouse) from Infamous )
10th Comin at ya ( Marcello from Dynasty)

I'm more than a little disappointed that they're not showing the ladies' prelims tonight

From what I picked up at the event this was due to the contract the German production/film crew were on, they shut down the webcast when they ran out of paid time, hence the extended break on Saturday to cover the EPBF finals.

So very interesting that Mike Pevrill is producing the webcast. He has a couple fields in northern VA (I used to play at one), I think they also did an NPPL event there one year.

Pev will be involved in the NXL webcasts too, both are funded by Richmond/G.I. Rumour has it that there may well be a VA NXL Event on the cards too.

Yea Duchene tore that snake side apart. Really impressive. This also makes back to back Mills events that Dave Bains hasn't played for Impact.

Dave also picked up a minor injury at Puget in the pits, but for this event Bart couldn't be there so Dave stepped up to the coaching crew for this event, I spoke to him on the Friday about this.

CPL Division:

7th Polar Bears ( Oliver and Ryan from Dynasty ) *yes I know Mr Lang is not playing for Dynasty in 2015
8th Outrage (no pro players)

10th Comin at ya ( Marcello from Dynasty)

SPL Division also has US or players considered current (or former) pros in 7 out of the 8 highest teams including Tim Montressor, Sam Monville, Damien Ryan, Brad McCurley, Max Lundquist, Sebban Samuelsson, Pavel Lukashuk, Yan Samoylev, Brandon Rabackoff and Grayson Goff.

I wouldn't count out a return of Oliver to NXL on Dynasty, he certainly doesn't, he just didn't like the way the PSP was going this year.

Marchello wasn't in Germany, I doubt you'll see him play another MS this year now he is no longer on the Ironmen roster either.

Stockholm Scorpions have four former Joy Pro players on their roster, Knut was even wearing his Joy Jersey!

Did you also notice that on our roster we have 1-v-1 champion Warren Pitterson

 

[Marc0]

1 on 1 was won by Wozza in Puget beating last years 1 on 1 champion Kevin Coulm in the final.
1 on 1 in Bitburg was won by Nick Leival of Edmonton Impact, the nicest guy in paintball imo

 

[Spikerz]

I know Yachimec broke his hand in Puget, didn't know about Dave getting hurt.

 

[onasilverbike]

It was only a minor thing, I was there when it happened, but it probably would have affected his ability to play the event, all better now though he said.
