Millennium - Bitburg May 20 - 22

[Spikerz]

It's Bitburg time! Who's going to be watching the webcast? Predictions?

Impact looked really strong in Spain. This is a pretty defensive field layout, so I think that'll suit them.
I expect TonTons will do well again, no idea what'll happen with Heat. They've been off lately.

It's also good to see Breakout doing well (all due to Todd's coaching I bet)

I'll be watching, hard t bet against Impact, but I'd like to see TonTons doing well and Nexus getting some form of result...

Best of luck to Nexus, but unfortunately I think they'll struggle in their group against ML Kings Prague, Milano Scorpions and Breakout Spa... Probably the toughest group of the tournament. I hope they prove me wrong!

Firm have a chance if they have a good day.

But yeah Impact have looked unplayable lately, only really 3-4 teams in Europe who seem to offer them a real challenge at the moment - and that includes Heat :/

 

[Spikerz]

Agreed, but Heat have been struggling a lot this year, not sure why. They have incredible talent on the team. Heat were staying in the Barcelona airport hotel the same night I was, and I was sitting next to Sarge at dinner. We spoke for a good 15 minutes, he and his wife are incredibly nice people. You can see why they garner the support from the players that they do.

I'd like to see Nexus do well, but as said, their group is brutal. As a long time Joy Division fan, I'm pretty stoked to see Scorpions doing so well, 5th place in their first pro event.

I do think we'll see slower games, but the D side is still going to win or lose points for teams, teams with good D side attackers (like Impact) are going to do very well.

Heat are a powerhouse, don't write them off just yet.
Impact are stronger this year than they have ever been.
One of these will win every Mills this season and take the series title.

Heat apparently ate their Wheaties this morning. They just stomped all over Paris Camp Carnage, with some seriously aggressive moves. Also interesting to see teams playing the layout and what the differences are to how my team played it.

PPArena looking surprisingly good in both events this year for a Rookie team.

 

[Spikerz]

Heat crush Carnage 6-1
Polar Bears beat PPArena 4-3
TonTons beat Syndicate 5-4
Drammen Solid beat GK Paris 6-3 for their first ever Pro win
Nexus drop to MLKings 5-0.
Breakout and Scorpions currently tied at 3-3, Scorpions go to OT tied, they were up 4-3, and 5 bodies against 1, got a major called with 9 seconds left which automatically gives the other team the point. Really...really don't like that rule. They lose in OT to Breakout.

 

[Shepherd:03]

Sounds like there's some pretty decent games going on!

 

[Spikerz]

Firm win 6-3 over Outrage
Heat stomping all over people, beat Polar Bears 6-1
Impact over Commin At Ya 4-2

PPArena just won a game on the coin toss! Went to OT and no bodies left, coin toss lol.

 

[Spikerz]

Nexus going to lose to Scorpions Milano - 2-6.
Breakout and MLKings are 4-4 going into 64 seconds left.
