I do not think that the way Vegas was set up was as good as the way CC was set up. The judging at times in Vegas was horrible, and there were several scheduling issues that were pretty poor. Our game against Joy was supposed to be played in the pitch black on the friday night. Neither of us wanted to play with so much at stake so we played saturday morning before the games started.Originally posted by Just Curious
Sam,
What was Vegas like? How would you compare its set up to that of Campaign?
I'd just like to know how you can call people 'chumps' and 'gimps' just because they have an opinion. You may have been involved in the set-up but you were not in attendence during the running of the event and for all you know the 'chumps' that played 7-man may have had a valid case for criticism.
Vegas was an awesome event, but that was because the atmosphere in the NPPL is always good. However the atmosphere is down the to the players and the spectators. How can you not e having a great time when playing/watching the likes of Infamous, XSV, Arsenal, Avalanche, Dynasty, Entourage, Naughty Dogs etc.... A lack of atmosphere at CC is down to the spectators. Its the only thing that the organisers cannot supply. If there was no atmosphere then maybe it was because everyone was watching the Xball? Watching world class teams like Philly, Trauma, Legion and Joy? Who wants to watch div 1 teams play when you can watch these guys play X?
I did not mean that 7 man teams were chumps. I meant that compared to the players like Mishka, Spesh, Dearman, Dooder etc... even Div 1 players are considered poor. Who wants to watch a slow game played by players who are not as good as the awesome players playing train crash paintball in the Xball?
Heaven, you did not read what i wrote properly.
QUOTE MYSELF EARLIER "play Xball than a load of chumps (compared to the world class teams) playing 7man."
Read the bit in brackets. I did not call 7man players chumps. I have played 7man in Europe this year, as well as 3 NPPL's this season and I will be in Malaga and San Diego.
Heaven, did you play CC? Or just go and watch?
