This is not the first time this year for Chris...

"The MSTS finals were held at the Denver, Colorado USA, National Western, Indoor complex, November 23-24. Wayde Samuel was the last player of the Yarddog team facing four of the opponents. Chris Lasoya, bunkered Wayde. His move was very good, but it was not necessary to shoot him twelve times in the head. As a result, Wayde was knocked out cold and was unresponsive. Paramedics deemed it necessary to have him ambulanced to the hospital. He was cat scanned etc.. and released 7 hours later, having suffered a concussion. "

Seems the only promoter who will deal with this type of behavior is the Pan Am series, who banned him for life a while back.

It really is a shame that his on field behavior is so bad, because I have seen him time and time again stop and chat with people who are star struck by him and takes the time to do autographs and make them feel special, more so than any other pro I know. Really a pity when he could be such a great ambasador of the sport.

i watched you guys play, and your game vs Strange was amazing! You guys ROCKED.

We played our a$$es of in that game. It was one of those situations where everything lined up, everyone followed their assignments, and someone must have had 4-leaf clovers stuck to their shoes. We got one on the break, and I popped the back left standup about 10 seconds after I got to the center brick. After that, we just pinned them for about 8:30.

Being that it was Strange, we were trying to keep it as tight as possible, and couldn't understand why they weren't pushing us. Time was getting short, and our guy made the run, but he didn't know that the 3rd guy was there and went right past him. Anyway, we shot 4 and it went to 9 minutes. I'd love to say that it was all us, but it seemed like Strange was sleeping.

And thanks for the compliment. Something has finally clicked, and we're playing much more consistently. I still can't believe that we won World Cup though. As for stealing Legion's paintball secrets for the US, I can honestly say that I don't have any bias toward US teams. I didn't start playing until I moved here, and everything I know, I owe to them. Besides that, I have much more respect for the European teams. There’s a lot more sportsmanship over here, and lot less attitude.

We'll definitely be at Joy. I've heard it's gonna be sweet.

Yep Twisted Played the New Russions at the Max Masters, was a superb game I really enjoyed it

I'm sure you did....we totally came apart in that game, and was our only loss other than the Dynasty game in prelims. We missed finals by 6 points. You guys played great though, and deserved the win.

We played like crap in the semi's up till that game lol. It was a big boost for us beating you guys, especially after seeing you stomp through the prelims, shame it was our last game lol

Thought you were going to win AM B for sure!!!

Well...

I don't really think it's reasonable to expect Millenium to do anything about it.

EPA needs to elect some sort of Board (Did this happen at Toulouse?), and that Board needs to appoint a disciplinary committee, or a disciplinary committee needs to be elected directly, and when stuff like this happens, it needs to be refered to the committee, and Millenium needs to respect that committee's decision. That would be a "fixed" system. Then when someone pulls a Lasoya, somebody files a complaint with the committee and it gets taken care of administratively even if not taken care of on the field.

Now to make this sound totally self-motivated, this is why EPA needs to adopt a player ID system ASAP, as it makes voting very easy.

I never thought for a minute that we had it locked up, but I definitely wasn't expecting that we'd go out and bomb like that. I think that some of the guys were a little over confident, and were thinking about finals instead of the game that we were playing.

We did the same thing to Zero Kewl last year in Toulouse. Lost our first two semi games, and then beat ZK because we were relaxed and knew we weren't going to finals. They did go on to win it though.
