the only thing the Russian Legion's new found success proves is that money can buy success.
The Americans have a larger tallent pool, better sponsorship / support for players, and have therefore dominated paintball for the past half decade.
If you take two resonably equally tallented athletes and train one intensivly, and the other only a little bit, of course the more intensivly trained athlete will come out on top.
of course this costs money. Which Sergi has.
Same goes for paintball. The only chance a euro team has to get to the top of the pile is to be better financed, to purchase the best players money can buy with the most potential, and intensivly develop that day after day using the most sofistocated coaching money can buy.
The question is, if the RL have come this far in a year, how far will they be ahead in another year's time?
The fact of the matter is, RL are progressing as a team faster than any other team in the world. If (big if here...) they can maintain their momentum then they may gain a strangle hold on paintball that other less funded teams can never break.
Realistically Sergi can now poach the best player in Europe, he may even possibly go after some american players...
To summarise, the yanks are generally better than the euros because they play more, and train more than the EUros. RL have the potential to be better than the yanks because they Play more and Train more (harder and smarter) than the Yanks.
that's my 2 cents.
