This past Sunday, the ESPL event #2 happened. It was played at the new Flagswipe outdoor facility, just outside of London.
My team and I played in this event and are pleased with the results.
Due to a scheduling mix-up, two teams, us included played 5 games instead of the 4 it was supposed to be. Only the first 4 games points counted towards our standings. We did get a free case of paint out of the deal though. We won 3 of our 5 games.
Near the end of Pre-lims we were tied for 3rd, with one game in the pre-lims left to be played. Of the two teams left to play if one team won the game, we would then be bumped down to being tied for 4th. Well, that happened. So we were bumped down to tied for 4th. The tie breaker was the pre-lim game we played earlier in the day, against the team we were tied with, they had beat us in that game. So they went on to play in the semi-finals.
We are starting to be able to gel together on the speedball field, so we are happy with the result, and can't wait to go back for event #3.
We also had a few guest shooters, to help fill in for a couple rostered players that couldn't make it and fill out the roster cap for the event.
Here are some pictures from Sunday:
My team on the field:
MoFo at Dorito 1, Chris Keery at the tower, Mike Lokar at home, Jay Balaka at snake back, and very hard to see, but Mike Chechak in the snake.
