End of Finnish paintball ????

6 Finnish teams paid for Finnkampen.....fricking joke...Scandal......what a embarrassment.
I think its a insult too the Swedish teams that are taking 4 days off to come to Finland to play you guys in a National Event, you cant even be bothered getting out of your beds to play.
If it wasn’t for the fact that ive paid the Plane tickets for the ducklings i would cancel the event in a heartbeat.
Iam extremely annoyed and insulted by the nonchalant attitude of the Finnish teams that have chosen to boycott this event.
So shall i cancel the Finnish Nordic event as well??? As if this is all the interest that you guys show then why should i bother.....
So then you can play yourselves and never any new competition, how exciting
My big thanks to the Finnish teams that have shown their support and too Juice the man who done the most for Finnish paintball FACT!!!!

Simon, where are the best Swedish teams??

...Evil is good.

Ignition
Brutal
True Colours
Epic Saints

not good enough for yah ????
whats your point jabba

wouldnt consider brutal deluxe and epic saints two of your best teams..oh and true colors doesnt fit the list either!!

ignition i can vouche to be one of the top teams in sweden but doesnt convince me otherwise!!



porkkana

Ahem...

All in all, there are more Swedish team participating in NATIONS-tournament, that is held in Finland, than Finnish teams. To call this a discrace is like calling rape a slight social deviation :(

Hopefully we\'ll get our act together, and save the why\'s until after the tournament.

I\'m pretty sure Juice\'s return of invested time/money in this affair is pretty shitty, so please atleast have the courtesy of acknowledging when someone is doing their part for Finnish paintball.

jabba and schmooie
what is your point ???

So are they the only reason why some of the finish teams wouldn\'t sign up?

I am sure we can all see that Sweden’s top ranked teams aren\'t coming - but why the hell should that stop the rest of us/you from playing? What a mentality!

What goes for Epic Saints - we\'ll just have to see where our playing abilities will take us won\'t we. At least we got the guts to put up with a fight and taking the time off for coming over to Finland! ... what an welcome...

So the fight has begun..........Finns will rock!!!!

Dear Simon, my point is: At least one reason for lousy showdown concerning Finnish teams is lack of best Swedish teams, and i would like to know why for example Joy division isn't coming?? Last year they wielded 2 teams and none this year..

I have to admit that it is a disgrace not having more than 6 (or how many it was??) Finnish teams attending to Finnkampen BUT at least our team is playing there including me. So there is only so much i can do about it.

-Jarno-

PS. BIG and i mean BIG!!! hand to Juice and you Simon making Finnkampen happen.

...Evil is good.

Clint: hehe, no but seriously. This is really sad how we will loose Finnkampen - as it probably will scare Juice and Simon from ever touching it again when us plaers aren\'t supporting it good enough! I played Finnkampen for the first time last year and thought it was a blast! Iam sure it will this year too, only with fewer teams.

How many active teams do you have in Finland anyways?

Jabba
First i would like to thank you and your team for supporting the Finnkampen.
I cant speak for Joy but i would guess that a big reason is time and money.
Joy are now entering 2 teams into the mil series plus they just played the speedking last weekend.
Iam also sad that we didnt get more swedish teams but thats life however i really did expect at least 16 finnish teams.
I thought there was a serious rivarly between the swedes and the Finns.
See you on the field
Simon
ps im playing woooooh

Ok, understood. See you guys on the field.

And Tobbe first of all you have to define word "active" :) but seriously: 12 in the league, 12 in the 1st division + odd number of teams that wish to play/are going to play 2nd division. At least i think so...

But i guess that really active teams are those 12 playing the league+ couple of teams from 1st division.

Mika you are so funny:)

...Evil is good.

Yo what up Finland

I dont understand why the Finns dont value the international scene that much. Guess we are just stupid farmers that have never seen anything better. SO we dont know what we are missing (ignorance is bliss)????

Locco

Locco is a farmer??

...Evil is good.

No I was born in Nairobi Kenya 13.10.1979. DUMB ASS. So I am a ... well anyhow....lame.

Unfortunately Plague currently does not have the resources to attend Finnkampen with full roster. The (2) players that can, ARE playing in Finnkampen under a different team.

Too bad? Hell yes, without some confusion earlier this year we would've probably had a team there.

End of finnish paintball? No, don't think so.

- Jokke / Plague

edit: goddamn my english sucks, correcting it a bit

Jabba and Clint thanks for the input.

How about playing the tournament in Sweden sometimes? I believe the lack of interest from Finnish teams is that they have played to death at the site this year. Bigger site, earlier date or a boat trip might raise the interest in the future.

Take care,

Iron Maiden - Run to the hills (Finn kampen Themesong)

white man came across the sea
Brought us pain and misery
Killed our tribes killed our creed
Took our game for his own need

We fought him hard we fought him well
Out on the plains we gave him hell
But many came too much for Cree
Oh will we ever be set free?

Riding through dustclouds and barren wastes
Galloping hard on the plains
Chasing the redskins back to their holes
Fighting them at their own game
Murder for freedom a stab in the back
Women and children and cowards attack

Run to the hills run for your lives
Run to the hills run for your lives

Soldier blue on the barren wastes
Hunting and killing their game
Raping the women and wasting the men
The only good Indians are tame
Selling them whisky and taking their gold
Enslaving the young and destroying the old

Run to the hills run for your lives


Blaah....

It is definitely a disgrace and very sad that we did not manage to get more teams from Finland, and I know I'm not the best person to talk as my own team (Wasted) is not attending. What I wanted to say was that this "laziness" (or whatever) of our team is obviously not so unique, there are not that many Finnish teams attending all Millennium legs (except for Joymasters obviously) and all too few (if any?) are attending the Nordic Series leg in Sweden or Norway.

I don't want to guess reasons or come with lousy excuses concerning my own players (or myself), but I would encourage (and yes, I will try to do that in my own team also) to try these different foreign tournies. Swedes are a fairly good practise-opponent for our league- and 1st division teams :) I was last spring in Växjö playing Diablo open and have to say that although we got our asses whooped quite seriously, it was a great teaching journey.

The end of our paintball? Nevah, if I'm to say what I think.

edit: Skövde my butt, it was the swamps of Växjö I was at...
