Yep Russians are reinventing the limits of paintball. As Ronnie said there was no cheating, no bonus balling just 100% clean hardcore paintball! Never seen anything like it!
And yep, I must say that, even if I'm a Tonton fan, I saw some pretty dodgy acts coming from their side! I also saw them get a couple bad decisions but who didn't (except the Russians who's game is so on the ball that the decisions are always transparent). I can't understand the kind of pressure (and pain from so many hits) the players go through during the game but still, as a professional one must know how to keep cool and not act in such a fashion as to embarass your team.
One of the saddest displays of sportsmanship I saw this week end was a Tonton player leaving the penalty box with 3 Tigers (correct me if I'm wrong) waiting for him at the exit. Noone shot him, they were just waiting for him. So the Tonton goes and starts this big drama, puts his hands up and starts cussing and shouting at the 3 Tiger players saying, "go on shoot me, come on bleep bleep shoot me". Well they should have shot that whiny *******!!!! He didn't even have the guts to fight it out!!! He just put his hands up and started his one man show! Dude if you don't like the rules, don't play the game!!!!! Anyway after a couple seconds of that guy whining the refs just pulled him out!!! WTF were the players left on the field supposed to do. Go back to their base and give him a headstart!
One thing I noticed though was the number of impacts the guys playing X-Ball had. I saw a couple guys walking around with no shirt and they were really bruised. One guy had his whole left side covered! There must have been 30 impacts if not more! Looks fine and dandy from the sideline and your like: hell I wanna do that. Then you see the guys come off the field and you realise how hard the game is....
