Legion does it....again?

[Python14]

I'm hearing uncomfirmed reports that the Russian legion just mopped the floor with a certain team from Philly. Something like 15-9 or something. Anyone else?

[68magOwner]

i wouldnt doubt it, with the way they practice/train, i wouldnt be supprised at all if they mop the floor with everyone for a while

[camilion705]

Legion is awesome. If they had a larger pool of players in Russia to recruit from, they would be mopping up more often...

Bow down to the Legion

Old news...There was a thread on this. They beat infamous and dynasty to win div 1 xball at philly. They beat infamous 15-6 I believe in the semi-final game. They beat dynasty by a nice margin as well.

I think that he was talking about the exabition game at the Campagian (SP?) cup in the UK.



Go Legion.

Yea, this was an exhibition game against Philly...but philly had a different name.

Everyone knows they beat Dynasty.

[O_o]

Final Score - RL (13) v Philly (5)

I'm sorry if today's news is old news jk . To clarify, like Blazing said, this was an exhibition match between Russian Legion and Philidelphia Americans. At one point there was a 9-2 lead

[swanster]

they called themselves phillys finest. it was a mix between trauma and philly americans. I watched the game and it was amazing. Legion dominated the whole game

Believe it or not, I'm looking forward to the day when the Europeans are the kings of paintball. Not because I have some mal-intended wish against the Americans, just because I think the Europeans are far more capable of dominating in the long run.

[FSU_Paintball]

why's that?

[Python14]

Social differences. How many major teams broke apart due to ego problems within the team? How often do you hear about European teams cheating as blatantly as teams like Dynasty?

Plus, how many American teams have financial backing like the legion?

Oh yea, and a little bit has to do with the fact I am sick of hearing about Dynasty, the americans, the assasins, etc....I want to see Joy Division. I want to see Ton Tons. I want to see Ugly Ducks. I want to see Legion. I want to see Tigers.

[FSU_Paintball]

I've heard that the cheating in the euro leagues is actually pretty obvious.

Also, I don't think RL is winning because they're foreign, they're winning because they're funded, so paintball is a full-time job for them. Dynasty doesn't get to practice 5 times a week, they've got other jobs and college.

I think if american teams were funded like RL, then they would probably STILL be better. Because they wiped the floor with them when they were on "even ground" in terms of money.

[tony3]

All those teams like joy division and ton tons have tried to play in american paintball and are never consistent enough to do good. Joy and tontons have placed a few times but nothing special. Legion is showing a new kind of paintball being formed. Practicing 5 days a week, physical training and being paid. This is going to be a new trend for pro paintball teams.

[Python14]

I dunno. I just think Russian Legion may be in a position that everyone else, for the time being, can't reach. By the time everyone else is where Russian Legion is now, Russian legion will have stepped it up a notch.

This is their first major win in America. Calm down. THey have a long way to go to prove they are the best. One win does not a season or dynasty make!
