Title: EuroPaint #2: The Result
Post by: lekky on August 18, 2007, 05:16:24 PM
So today the 2nd Tournament in the EuroPaint Cup Series took place and, similar to the first tournament this one lasted for about 5 1/2 hours. Again, we would like to thank OTB, MeMi and QeHs for the use of their servers throughout the tournament, without their support the tournament would simply not exist. We would also like to give our thanks to every player and team that took part in the 2nd tournament. It was a great 5 or so hours with lots of competitiveness, and even more fantastic sportsmanship, we really couldn't ask for anything more.

As with the previous tournament, there were quite a few surprises along the way. One of those being the progress of little-known Polish side 2B (http://www.2bklan.yoyo.pl/) lead by saq, we are looking forward to seeing them in the future EuroPaint tournaments! There was also a fantastic run put together by Swedish side Kdt (http://beam.to/kdtpball) . Having been knocked into the lower bracket by German team OTB, they worked their way through the pack to eventually face [OTB] again in the lower bracket final, but this time took the map 13:12 to setup a final match with team Opi!. The final was an exciting affair, and with maps chosen including Warlock and icecap, their was sure to be some interesting action. Team Opi! managed to take both maps winning Warlock 50:30 and Icecap 29:24, with their greater experience in Paintball matchplay being one of the deciding factors in the match.

The final positions were as follows:

1: Opi! - PURE, Sprigger
2: Kdt^ - corny, wesslan
3: OTB - T3RR0R15T, Kongo, RowseR, Fuchs

Full details of all the action can be found by checking the EuroPaint website (http://www.europaint.eu). Further information on the tournament can be found below:

Wish I could have woken up early enough to participate, but I knew there was no chance, so I didn't even bother signing up.  Hope everybody had fun.

Congrats PureBlood/Spirgger!  It's nice to see some unfamiliar faces taking some of the top spots.  I think that this series is doing wonders for the European scene and I hope after a few more of these 2v2 we'll begin to see some really competitive 4v4 squads.  I'm really glad to see PureBlood and lekky organize an -- almost exclusively -- European tournament, because I always hated the guilt trip I received when trying to organize a segregated or NA-only PBCup.  There were always far too many headaches when trying to please both continents, but it's looking like EuroPaint could step in and produce the competitive environment that European teams desire.

Cheers!
