Rebels tour of Norway #part 2
The
second leg of NPL (Norwegian Paintball League) was held in Hokksund. This
tournament is a bit special on the weather front, they’ve held NPLs for many
years and its almost always amazingly warm and sunny. This time was no
different :-)
We
have a bit of a love/hate relationship to this tournament cos it easily gets a
bit hot to play, but on the other hand awesome weather to watch paintball in.
Rebels
are suffering a bit under the strain of playing 3 different leagues
(Millennium, SM and NPL) plus practicing a lot. Not all employers are able to
let you have all the weekends off during the whole paintball season. So, with
most of the key players at work they entered with some of the new guys plus a
hired gun. But of course they were still aiming for the win and eager to show
themselves.
The
first game was against EPK, the local heroes of the field, mostly old guys with
great love for the sport and some bad ass break-shooting skills (old school)
Rebels won this one 4-0 but not without loosing people off the break J
Next
game, and as always the hardest was against Blast. They came at it hard and the
Rebels lost 4-0.
Rampage
was in line after that, this is their first whole season in elite and they have
proven themselves to be a good opponents. The game went back and forth for a
while before Rebels closed it down with a 4-3 win.
The
last team in the bracket was Kristiansund Oilers, the Rebels win was 4-0
The
team showed themselves worthy of a spot in the semis once again.
In
the semi they met Xsportz, a mixture of new and old talent and this time a too
hard nut to crack, Rebels lost 4-1 and proceeded to play for 3rd and
4th.
The
bronze final was again against Rampage, but this time Rampage was the one that
took revenge and Rebels lost 4-2 ending the tournament with a bitter 4th place.
The
new guys showed what they were made of, but this time it wasnt quite
enough.Some valuable lessons were learned and the team will come back stronger
next time.
