But the guns are so fast today it probably isn't an option. I just loved the mentality Image played with. It was so exciting. I bet those guys would have all quit playing if today's guns were used back then. They played to win. But they played to have fun and the style they chose just isn't a viable option today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804718502406028481.post-79301575516920662702012-06-01T15:27:02.177-04:002012-06-01T15:27:02.177-04:00I don't know how much speed matters as long as...I don't know how much speed matters as long as you win. Being aggressive for aggressiveness sake doesn't make much sense if you lose consistently to teams that play as a team.<br /><br />I'm pretty sure US teams know how win some quick points. You see it all the time. But it's better to win consistently and confidently as a team than blow down the field getting chopped to pieces as some witnessed Damage do in Chicago on Sunday (ouch)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804718502406028481.post-5220039378638378752012-06-01T11:51:30.760-04:002012-06-01T11:51:30.760-04:00The Euro teams are emulating who Dynasty used to b...The Euro teams are emulating who Dynasty used to be.<br /><br />Now whether that is better than who Dynasty is, remains to be seen... that kind of ball takes a roster that has been playing together consistently for years, and intelligent players, to be effective.... and none of the euro teams are there yet.<br /><br />Euro teams play faster than US teams today, while US teams most definitely play better team ball.<br /><br />Question is if the Euro teams get better at playing cohesively first, or the US teams speed up first ;)<br /><br />Personally I find the development exiting, and think the gap in playing level between us and euro teams has closed significantly.... it is not closed yet, but at least the MS is no longer a cake walk for vacationing american players anymore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804718502406028481.post-81974778889449699952012-06-01T11:37:35.078-04:002012-06-01T11:37:35.078-04:00Anon #3

And in two points had forced them to start making adjustments to counter us--which is what you want as it forces the opponent to react. I may talk about this more in another post.<br /><br />Anon #1<br />I would have thought that was pretty easily discerned--to breakdown the plan and basic execution employed by AC in Bitburg. All the Eurokids know AC and consider them virtually unbeatable so I thought they might be interested in what AC was doing.<br /><br />As for the rest VFTD is a blog about competitive paintball not TBD and I do not trade on inside team bidness in this blog and never will. For the longest time I never even mentioned the team but at this stage that's almost impossible.<br /><br />Neal<br />Sounds like fun but I don't watch that many movies. 50 words on movie trailers?<br /><br />Anon #2<br />If you missed it the 'One Crazy Game' post in April should answer most of your questions. <br />Euro teams are certainly (sorta) playing the game the way the MS wants them to play.<br />I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the ideas employed rather the execution tends to be poor and less about the team than the individual.<br />Lastly I think the Eurokids are emulating who they think Dynasty is--and not the other way round.Baca Locohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13014510414015288907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804718502406028481.post-23415149093121791532012-06-01T02:05:34.869-04:002012-06-01T02:05:34.869-04:00I like these kind of posts.

As previous commenter I would also like to compare with tbd's gameplans. <br /><br />Another thing that I really would like to have your thoughts on is the euro style of paintball. You say they do run throughs and try to immitate American style paintball but do not succeed. Could it be so that the way euro style is played in Millennium works on the Millennium field layouts? I do know that Dynasty do have a lot of success in Millennium being an american team, but playing for so many years in Millennium have they adapted to.the eurostyle play when playing there? It can't just be bad reffing making it hard for american teams?<br /><br />Thanks for a great blog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804718502406028481.post-46213260802182631052012-06-01T00:04:24.320-04:002012-06-01T00:04:24.320-04:00Baca

Your post regarding PSP Phx is a great example of the point im trying to make "We're out" thats it no more about it, change subject to something other than TBD.<br /><br />I understand its your blog and you can write whatever the hell you want but as an interested reader I think it would be great to read something related to TBD other than where you went out to eat or how much your flight times sucked. <br /><br />I am sure you will have a Rahel-like retort and prove how much more intelligent you are or why you don't go into details regarding TBD but maybe take that into consideration next time you write a post, or not. /end rantAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804718502406028481.post-57060441634919848952012-05-31T20:13:55.444-04:002012-05-31T20:13:55.444-04:00Well, if you want to reveal it, what was your basi...Well, if you want to reveal it, what was your basic breakout and how did you approach this particular match?Torhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16705645033605287234noreply@blogger.com
