    That was a fun game to ref! The Russians are some of the most honest, nicest group of guys around... and they play like no other.

      My thoughts exactly. I really want to see more games featuring euro teams. Maybe I should move to Europe...

            First time on America Soil all season and they win a major US tourney, first time any European team has done that. Did we forget that they beat infamous twice, by BIG margins both times, and they basically tore dynasty to pieces?

              the game dynasty won against the russians on field 1 xball... was pretty messed up. Russians should and would have won if it wernt for the way dynasty was playing. I respect the Russians for playing honest ball.

                And Dynasty has torn them up in how many Millenium series events in a row?

                All I am sayong is one tourney doesn't make you the best. It needs to be followed up by consistency.

                  First off, agreed.

                  Secondly I think this is sad. The day where you or I, funded by ourselves or some minimal sponsorship deal, could go out and compete with the "big boys" is coming to a quick end. Raw talent, dedication will no longer be enough. You will need the time, family structure, and fundage to practice (as they do in other pro sports) constantly. To me... well competetive paintball is fun and I will always do it on my level, but the chance of me (and many of us) ever working to the top echelons are rapidly fading due to this new trend. Just whining, stating an observation, I accept that that is how it is.

                    When you play in the realm of 'black& white' instead of the 'grey area' that most teams have always done, in order to win you are forced to play the game to its mistake-free perfection. You combine that with athleticism and precision..........you get what I have always touted as the best team out there. The Russian Legion.

                    Watching them in action is indeed poetry in motion for me. Likewise for other students of the game who have watched them as well.

                    Trust me when I say that there will be a day of reckoning when teams that have relied on cheating in their repetoire will suffer most in the forthcoming environment.

                      Dynasty hasn't played Russian Legion all season up until Philly, because Russian Legion played EXL all season. Russian Legion is playing a game of paintball no other team is playing right now.

                        I just watched the vid of the game between Legion and Philly/Trauma and holy crap, talk about some good play. Both sides had some really good play all game. However, it seemed everytime Finest had a good run thru that took 2 or 3 legion players down, one of the back cans would annialate the runner + one of there back cans just for the heartache the runner caused.

                        However, the best move came from the Legion player who came out of the p. box and tagged like 2 people right off.

                        Oh yea, and the last point is simply beautiful. Finest makes a push right off the break, sending 2 guys to the X and I think another to their left tape. The one on the tape gets tagged, then the two guys at the X try to push thru the cylinders and BAM, RL destroys them... Then as if getting smashed wasn't bad enough, RL pushed all the way up with like 4 players. Heck, their flag monkey runs past the two Finests that got eliminated on the Russian 40/30.

                        Beautifully played game on both sides....but RL just handed it out like candy at christmas.

                          after camping @ campaign for the whole event, I can concour that the RL are just a totally different cut to the rest, great honest playing guys....

                          as I was saying to a bunch of mates (Tigers and a few others @ the table on saturday night) the RL may play hard, but they play fair, the American teams just seem to play vindictive - even down to the extra shots in the neck....

                          the other teams appriciate it when you shoot them in the gogs or pack, you know when you've been got, so don't be an a$$ and spin

                          all in all, was the best X-ball field and event I have been to in the last year

                                Thank you sir !

                                EDIT: Just finished watching them... That must be the best set of games I have ever seen! That last game was amazing! Hopefully this is just a taste of the quality of pball we will all be seeing in the future.

                                GO LEGION!
