Are Euro teams getting better?

[nada]

It's also safe to say that NPPL D1 is superior to Mill. Champs League...in tha sense that the Euros, bar Joy obviously, would struggle to make Sunday in D1.

..hmm based upon what? One euro team that crosses the pond, Joy?

So.. with that same reasoning, can I state "it's safe to say most NPPL/PSP pro teams would struggle to make finals in D1 Mill. (Dynasty/Madrid) or sunday in CPL (Paris ringers hotline club)" ?

No but seriously.. its common sense that the US teams/players still are better, and that the gap is there. Just let all that reasoning go... its stupid.

Everyone knows the gab is there - I just don't think it is as big anymore as people think.

Thinking that teams like the Tontons or Menace of THIS season would have a hard time qualifying for Sunday in DI in the US is just stupidity.

People keep saying the Tontons and Shock couldn't hack it at Pro level in the NPPL last year... well ok - but at the same time the Ironmen, Buchwackers and Arsenal didn't eactly achieve stellar results in the Millennium Series, while remaining in the NPPL Pro division - so go figure.....

I still maintain that the best 4-5 European Pro teams play to a much higher level this year, than they did last year, that they are evolving fast, and that they would place comfortably in the bottom half of the NPPL Pro division..

thats like saying to a crowd at a football match 'what are you singing and shouting' don't you think shock have really picked up their game an nexus an tigers are loosing theirs?

 

[Nick Brockdorff]

I'm sure they appreciate your support - but I don't really see how "go Shock" is relevant to the whole US vs Europe debate?

We are frying bigger fish here than sucking up to individual teams - and insulting others m8

lol im not slating them at all just their not performing as well as they did and about the debate http://www.nppl.tv/rankings.htm joy havnt really done really well or really bad in NPPL they got 6th which is quite an achivement and does say alot for european paintball but i think only team who can really compete to high american standard is the russian legion but you gotta think about how much they train. maybe its down to the actual countries themself i.e money etc etc and sitituations the more money you have more flexable job you have more your able to train even tho i support chelsea at the end of the day we have the money to buy the players.

Nobody is talking about competing with the top US Pro teams.

We are talking about comepting with the average US Pro teams.

I just demonstrated a few posts back why finances are no longer as relevant.

I suggest you read the whole thread, before posting

The simple answer is no. Look at the NPPL. Joy is maybe getting better, but that's a fairly large maybe.
