I was just reading an article in a pball mag recently and was kinda shocked when I came across an article that again accused Russian Legion of cheating..Now the article was written by a Pro player on a well known team (and no i wont name names but if you want to see it pick up a copy of P8NT and read the article on Amsterdam)and i was kinda dissapointed that a publication would put this in their mag..

Not once has RL EVER been caught cheating so what im trying to say is how do people get away with baseless accusations of cheating??Now i know its not all U.S. teams but it seems like a few,when challeged for top honors seem to resort to probably the worst kind of tactics to justify their poor performances...And how can you accuse someone of cheating that hasnt even take a first place yet??

I dont know, maybe im rambling but it just dissapoints me when the word CHEAT,which can tarnish a team 4 a lifetime gets thrown around so loosely.Maybe its time that some players hold themselves responsible for $hitty play and not resorting to slander to make the view fuzzy of the real problem....

lets just say in the six figure range!!

Enough to snatch an X-Ball franchise right from under their noses :D

But seriously, if you caught the article it was something about video cameras,and commentating and a whole useless bunch of hogwash that got me riled up:mad:


And then a statement that went something like this

"players would move into lanes they hadn't been watching,back players wouldn't communicate with front players, and they closed games out with full field runs".."Stuff that U.S. teams are good at"...

What a Joke!!

But at least Michigan won last week..Hope those contraversial calls still go your way :cool:

See, that's the thing. I've been closely watching RL play in Amsterdam, and I can 100% certain confirm that these guys do communicate. Just the fact that they speak Russian means that most of us haven't got a clue what they are saying. Apparently to some people that seems to mean they do not communicate, and therefore must cheat.
Sad really.

Sad really.

But the worst thing is is that it goes further than just your normal view of cheating..Wiping goes on no mater what the situation..From rec-ball to tourney play theres always gonna be wiping but when you start carrying on about video cameras acting as communicating devices and little ear pieces i firmly believe your crossing a line that borders insanity:mad:And to come from the mouth of a Pro is inexcusable..

I can just see the next article...Russian Legion were sporting thier brand new JT x-ray goggles with the ability to see through bunkers and markers with heat guided paintballs that attract anything American..They must be cheating to be on the same level with us yanks!!

Now dont take this a yank bashing..Im a yank myself :p It just seems a few Americans cant seem to grasp the fact that RL might just be as good as they are and it sickening!!
 
All i can say.. is Go the RS.. those guys rock.. I have only read about them... and from what ol robbo has to say..and from looking at their results.. and the fact that they train 5days aweek those dudes rock....

Its a real shame that people that just cant handel the jandel! they just dont like these dudes From russia showing them up

so they have to slander them... thats awfull.. these dudes take the sport to a new lv... and Im thinking a few people are not liking that...

Some "pro" players Just dont like the fact that the lime light has been stolen by this great team....

Its about egos..


Ric and me 2cents

PS soz about the spelling etc dudes... never was me greatest skill :)
