Im afraid thats all you gonna see TJ


Maybe WDP would be able to fork out the cash for it but as we all know they look into another direction.

Besides with those three teams the talent pool is taxed heavily! To get the players who would measure up to the challenge you gotta get the best ppl from all over europe (and beyond). And that brings up more and more challenges (organizing, training etc..)




Peace

Tha whole Pro landscape is changing now - and if X-Ball hits both US and Europe with limited numbers and demands a financial commitment as we suspect it will, then there will only be maybe 10 Pros in tha States and half-a-dozen or so in Europe...

But who in Europe has tha financial backing, apart from RL, Tontons and Nexus?
And who says any of those teams mentioned would go in to X-ball even if it was available to us ?
I am meeting Sergei this Saturday night, so I will let you all know what the Russian Legion are up to; what we (Nexus) do, is contingent on many things, not least of which, what we actually get for our money.
I mean, it seems as tho the teams are funding all this and stand to gain the least if it takes off because any money input is invariably filtered by the powers that be.
The tournament landscape has now changed dramatically with WDP and Chuck’s proposals, I for one, want to see how that unfolds in the coming months before I make any decision.
Coz I know, if that takes off, it matters not that the PSP have X-Ball, it’s still gonna have the ole skool running the show and that ain’t good for the future of paintball, leastwise that’s my opinion.
So many conflicting thoughts and so many points to consider before making any leap in any direction.
Hmmm not sure about anything anymore !!!

Wow, interesting stuff. I know that I'd love to see the Russian Legion and Nexus play in the Super Seven Series.

but then I'd also want to watch them play X-ball occasionally...

:D

IF Laurent gets what he wants in Vegas this week, IF Russian Legion elect to go with X-Ball and IF other teams (including us) are in sufficient numbers to go with them to X-Ball, then your wish will be granted because they will all be playing both, but there's some big ass IF's there !!!

/me has his fingers crossed. That sounds like the ideal situation to me!

Laurent pushing forward paintball for us all again. Gotta respect what he has done for us and what he is doing.

As much as I'd love to see RL and Nexus in X-ball I still tend towards preffering to see them play the Super Seven Series. Maybe because it's something the rest of us can aspire to? 'We' (and by that I mean general ballers) will also be playing that format and will maybe feel a closer link? I also think they could really dominate the new situation... which has to be good for us all. :D

I fear, as somebody said in another post somewhere, 'I can hear the coming of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse'..... as I am in agreement with you :)

Lie down for a very very long time mate! Jesus hope it's not catching! Agreeing with Manike is grounds for suicide!!!!!!!

Well suicide is perhaps a little of an over reaction but certainly to doubt one's sanity is now on the agenda :)

So tempting ;) ... but in the interest of it's Christmas (almost) and let's all get along, I'll just smile sweetly and move on :)
