avalanche breaks up?

[kidzero]

now they lost two guys to dinasty and when i remember the gossip right, they lost one guy before to another team.

i always thought "they'd never break up cause they love it so much to play together with their friends"?

well money seems to make the (paintball)world go round, huh?

I'm not that surprised, and who gives a flying. I mean, old school Avalanche was kind of a shocker, but new school Avalanche?? Big whoop.

are you sureage? where did you hear this info?

I think he means a few players have left....

3 players leaving a tem does not constitute a 'break up' these days... especially in teams the size of Lanche considering the pool of players available to them

erm............ I'm fairly interested to know whos going and also where they're going to. Any team in the NPPL Pro Division this year that are having changes to their rosters is pretty interesting I reckon, especially Avalanche being one of the top teams.

feel free to post more info...........

Nah, I'm not trying to supress the info or anything, but losing a couple players does not a breakup constitute. I mean hell, the new NPPL season is about to start up, this is when rumours and scandal about teams breaking up, players switching squads, etc, abound. I'm just saying, new school 'lanche didn't really seem all that inseperable anyway, and who wouldn't leave for a better financial deal? It's a sign that paintball is actually becoming a sport, players getting paid has been one of our big goals for several years. We'll just have to wait and see... patience is a virtue. I'll tell you what another step towards becoming a "real" sport would be: a trade deadline! And Kidzero already mentioned where the players are (allegedly) going to.

Considering that most of Avalanche has been playing together for years, most recently as Kapp Factory, I'd surprised if they split up. They spent years working their way up the ranks, from novice to am and finally to pro, and passed up individual opportunties in favor of staying together as a team.

I wouldn't be surprised to see them lose a few players, but I expect the core of old Kapp players will stick together a while longer. How time, tide and pressure to perform will affect them in the long run is another question.

Yeah but if the Colt .45 has definitely gone, theres a big gap in their squad I think for 05. However they're pretty hardcore in their own right so... we'll see.

proof of change? ..

(thats 'lanche I believe)
