Certainly more respect than crying more on the net...
Crying? :) - yeah right :D - I have no need to cry, as my team is playing well and is a REAL team... and is wholly unaffected by all the hired gunslingers :)

Excuse me for looking beyond the tip of my nose - very "un-paintballing" of me - I know :)

BTW - did your team beat any of the teams with hired guns in Toulouse? - how did you do? :)

Personally I think the more Pros the better, the better competition you play the more you learn and the better you become. Is the overall goal not to win, no matter who play?? Be it Russian Legion, or a CPL with 2 pro guests.. At least this gives you an opportunity to measure yourself against some of the best players in the world, you should be grateful.. Imagine if no more pros came over for the rest of the year, not a single one. Now that would suck.... No one is forcing you to have guests on your own team, if you dont agree with it fair enough, quit moaning, go beat the teams that have Pro guests. Now that would be something to gain respect!!

Only my 2 pence!!
My english is probably not good, but it was not my intension to moan.
Maybe it looked like it, and maybe you can say i do.

- I tried to say i like to play against the best, but preferably a whole team.

- I tried to say i think bringing in other players just for tournaments, demotivates the team players working their ass off outside tournaments & offseason, and then getting benched when the fun time (tournaments) comes around.

- I also tried to say that in no other sports, you`ll see the complete mess of players playing for different teams.

I have been around playing different team sports for over 25 years and also personal/single sports, both on national & local level, and thats maybe why i think a little bit different, because in my mind CPL-level paintball is a sport, and i compare CPL paintball with other sports.
That may be the problem, since it probably is not.:(

And that is the thing with internet, you are allowed to express your 2 pence;)

As stated many times before, i love to play the best, and the fun thing about it, is that out of 5 starting players on Oslo Menace, 3 of us are over 40 years old:D , and we still manage to beat this socalled proplayers.. In what other sport.....blabla..
I just love it!
Maybe its on time we get upper age limit :p

Nick, I am not implying that you are crying, not for a second. Only giving my opinion on something I feel should be seen more as a positive than a negative..
BTW. I don't have any team, but if I did, yes, they would have..;)

Crying? :) - yeah right :D - I have no need to cry, as my team is playing well and is a REAL team... and is wholly unaffected by all the hired gunslingers :)

I didnt play Toulouse because I dont like the MS, how it is run, or the format.

I prefer to take the action of boycotting the series than still playing into the (deep) pockets of these borderline fascist organisers, which would then lead to me, like many others it seems, spending time and energy berating the (unsuprising) paucity of the events on online forums...

LOL - so you don't like 7-man and you don't like the CPL/SPL formats - and you don't play the events?

So - what is your basis for taking part in the debate? - and please quit CRYING about the format :D

There's was more to it than just the format, I wont waste my time elaborating as to most non-pedants its patently obvious as to what I'm referring.

As for the crying reference, Touché - however, it was meant originally in jest and as a warning for how some people might read your posts. After your subsequent justification, I'm happy to take it back.
