Im P8ntballer.com Classroom gibt es einen neuen Artikel online. Der Head to Head Artikel von Ryan Greenspan und Micah McGlocklin ist ein Bericht über das Spiel Dynasty gegen XSV auf dem NPPL Field in San Diego. Abwechselt beschrieben beide Spieler ausführlich die Zeit vor dem Spiel, die drei Best of Three Partien und geben eine Zusammenfassung der Spiele ab:Head to HeadThe Teams: Dynasty & XSVThe Venue: NPPL Field, San DiegoThe Commentators: Ryan Greenspan & Micah McGlocklinPre-Match: DynastyRyan: To get to the Pro finals there are a lot of tough preliminary games that you have to battle through. Having won every NPPL event this year between us and ranking at #1 and #2, Dynasty and XSV are in separate divisions – but that does not mean it is a cakewalk. Both teams dropped games on both fields leading up to Sunday, and the competition is getting much better. From Dynasty’s point of view, we not only lost games, we had to pull out some miracles to win a few others. Don’t get me wrong here; we still annihilated a lot of teams – the really tough part about this event was not the games that we had to play, but the pressure that was on both of our teams to excel.Both XSV and ourselves were in a tight position in that we both had to place in the top two again in order to compete for the series title. The points were so close at this event that if XSV were to win, we would have to take second in order to compete in Miami for a possible win. On top of that, this was our hometown event: We had almost the entire VIP section filled with our family and our sloppy friends and neighbors banging their Dynasty noisemakers as loud as they could to show their support. I really cannot put into words how important this event was to our team.Needless to say, the scene was set for another epic match up between the NPPL’s two powerhouse teams. If XSV won the event, the two of us would be tied up going into Miami’s Commanders Cup. If we won, that would put XSV considerably in the hole on points and it would pull us out of the rut that the tabloids and all of the Internet nerds have so conveniently put us in after two whole losses. In other words, this was the most important event in the last two seasons. The omens were not great, however. We played XSV in the quarters and they beat us with quite a few bodies alive.Hopefully this wasn’t a taste of things to come…Pre-Match: XSVMicah: Coming into the 2005 San Diego NPPL event XSV was certainly on a streak. At the Paris Millennium event we rolled through a tough field of teams, including Dynasty, to win the European world cup, but there were complaints by Dynasty that we were afraid to play them heads up. So we took our game to Denver and posted two straight convincing wins in the finals against them to win the Denver NPPL event. We then headed off to Pittsburgh to play the PSP XBall event. Once again, we beat Dynasty two matches in a row, first to knock them out of the winners bracket, and secondly to win the event outright. We topped off these three straight wins by going to the Campaign Cup in England and won our fourth straight Millennium event, and our fourth straight win in a row. I’ll spell it out: XSV should have been butter, because we were on a roll.I think everyone on the team was feeling like the tide had turned on the XSV-Dynasty struggle. After not winning a single event last season our total for 2005 was up to six. We knew we had the tools to beat everyone; we just had to execute our game plans, do our homework on the other teams and play like we knew we could.The Line-UpsDynasty: Quincy Boayes, Brian Cole, Angel Fragoza, Ryan Greenspan, Oliver Lang, Johnny Perchak, Danny TiljackXSV: Nicky Cuba, Neil Eberle, Rusty Glaze, Jon Richardson, Thomas Taylor, Rich Telford, Davey WilliamsonGame 1Ryan: Game one started off like a bad car accident. XSV went with a wild breakout, which was very unexpected and very aggressive. They sent Davey Williamson to a spot that no one expected, and on top of that Quincy and I were shot pretty much off the break by some great shooting from Nicky and Rich. Before I even made it to the deadbox Johnny was clipped moving to his secondary spot, and I watched as Rusty made a great shot on Angel’s loader. Now it was seven on three to XSV. We had terrible positions – our entire show tape was gone, leaving BC in the back corner, Oliver in the snake and Danny T in the roller by the snake. After a minute or so, XSV figured out that we were all done for and eliminated Oliver and BC, leaving Danny T alone. The game was over shortly after with XSV swallowing up our last soldier with no chance. The toughest thing about a loss like that is that some of us knew they got a couple of lucky shots in there, and we all knew that we played sloppy against a very hungry XSV. Tough loss.Micah: Going into game one we knew what we had to do: We had to control Angel in the roller near the snake, not let him get in the snake and do what he does best. We also knew we had to lock down first the big Dorrito on the other tape, and stop them from getting into their car wash, and then to ours.So we sent Davey to the stand-up can about mid-field to lock down the snake side of the field. We sent Rusty to the small temple behind the snake to get into the snake, and Cuba and JR up the Dorrito/car wash side to get penetration on that side of the field and cross-shoot everyone out. Neil would go to the corner behind the snake, Rich stayed in the back center to shoot bad guys off the break and Thomas went to the corner behind the car wash.Davey shot a bad guy going to the snake side of the field, got to his can and lived for about 30 seconds – but it was a big 30 seconds. While Dynasty was concerning themselves with him, Cuba and JR were both able to move up the field. Cuba got to their car wash and JR to our car wash. In the process we shot Quincy trying to get up that side of the field. With the snake-side guys concerned about Cuba and JR, Rusty was able to get in the snake and move up a notch past the break in the snake. From there he was able to put enough heat on their back players to either kill them or make them put their guns down and simply try to stay alive. We shot Angel trying to fill into the snake from either JR or Cuba. Angel was trying to offset the effect Rusty was having from the snake.After we eliminated back players from behind the car washes and in the center of the field all that was left was Oliver in the small temple behind the snake and BC in the corner. Oliver made a last ditch effort and got in the snake. He was unable to really play out of it because we were so high up on bodies at that point. BC tried desperately to keep Oliver from getting run down but couldn’t gun fight five guys and once. Rusty got up one more notch and simply shot down the line in the snake, limiting Oliver from moving up. Once BC was shot it was just a matter of time before someone got Oliver. We won the game with five alive. All in all the game lasted maybe two to three minutes – a very fast finals game.Game TwoRyan: Redemption time for us. This was it, we either go home now with a second place finish or we show XSV and San Diego that we really are the best team in the world. We did some serious game plan adjustments and figured out what we needed to do in order to change some of the problems. We knew that Rusty moved to the good bunker behind the snake very quickly after he shot for BC’s side of the field. We also knew that Davey made a quick move up the center to lock off Angel’s move to the snake, so if we could stop them there, we would have a huge advantage. We also figured that XSV beat us so convincingly the first game that there was no reason for them to change their plans, and they didn’t. First elimination was Rusty moving through that open zone, then Davey had to change his plan to fill Rusty’s spot, and he ran through the same zone that Rusty did and gave us another body. We lost Quincy on the car wash side, but after I was done locking off the two attackers on the snake side I was able to fill out to Q’s side and get into the car wash. In the meantime, without any trouble from the tape Angel was able to make quick work of the snake and cruised all the way down to their side, leaving XSV’s back line with nowhere to hide. Then, as fast as the game started, it was over. We won the second game in record time. More than that, we showed that we wanted it more and that the best teams in the world are able to bounce back from a loss and overcome all the crap associated with losing the first game.Micah: Our game plan for the second game was going to be very similar to our first – don’t fix what ain’t broken, right? We did have slight variances, though: Davey wouldn’t go to the mid-field can, instead he would go to the snake side roller and lock down the car wash. We would try to get Rusty into the snake faster and hope we could get up the car wash side of the field and prevent Angel from getting into the snake at all.Going into game two I thought we had it in the bag. The way Dynasty didn’t come back strong at us in Denver really surprised me, they seemed content to give up and take second. They didn’t change much of their game plan up, and the result reflected that. In Pittsburgh at the PSP XBall event it was a similar situation – they didn’t seem to change their game plan too much, or come out at us with any kind of intensity. As a result of these two tournaments, I think the whole team felt that history was about to repeat itself, and we were more or less convinced we would win. As a result we came out with less emotion and drive in that second game.We all made our initial spots, but that didn’t stop us from dying early. Rusty was shot out trying to make the snake, that took one gun off the zone watching the snake, and Angel was able to get in there. While Angel’s move was fresh in everyone’s mind Quincy was able to sneak into their car wash. Angel never really stopped in the snake – he rolled right up the field through the break in the snake, eventually into our side of the field. With the guns blazing behind him, and Quincy putting cross pressure from the field now at our car wash, we had nowhere to hide. One by one our players were picked off or overwhelmed by the guns of Dynasty. In the end we left Neil in the snake corner trying to battle six or seven guns, which didn’t go so well…Game ThreeRyan: This was it. Waiting for one of us was a giant trophy, a giant check and, most of all, one of us was going to walk the flag back in front of 3000+ players and fans, cheering wildly. One of our teams was about to be in the spotlight, mobbed by TV cameras and media, the other was about to walk away, trying to muster up the courage to offer congratulations. With our heads high from the last game, the only thing we changed was Angel’s run to secondary into the snake – sending him to the roller next to the snake, leaving Oliver’s to fill Angel’s old bunker. That was the only change – that and we really wanted to shoot Neil running out to that back corner behind the snake. XSV was on their heels after the onslaught of the last game, so we could not afford to take them lightly at all.Again, to our surprise, XSV sent Thomas to the car wash on the show tape, which is a very tough spot to make it to. Luckily for us, we were able to shoot Neil running to the snake corner. On top of that, Rusty moved like clockwork and he ran into the zone that I already had paint going through. That left no one on the snake side for a bit, which allowed Angel to make a good move in there. Now we had to deal with Jon, Thomas, Nicky and Rich on the car wash side. I was able to fill into Quincy’s spot after he was shot out. Johnny and I were there to try and hold off Thomas and Jon from coming around the corner on us. Davey was able to fill out to the snake corner, which left them a bit weak in the center. Nicky was in the center popsicle stick and we were able to pinch him out from the snake and the car wash side. Luckily for us he got a 1-4-1 and Rich was pulled – I think that was something like the third or fourth 1-4-1 he has gotten in a finals game against us. Now, Thomas and Jon were left virtually unprotected. Johnny kept Thomas busy, while I kept Jon busy in front of us and Oliver came from the inside and bunkered out both of them. That marked game over and we were able to hoist up another trophy in one of the most emotional wins of our career.Micah: The way Dynasty had come out that second game really surprised us: They got a lot of paint in the air, dominated their lanes and rolled right up the field on us. So we knew we couldn’t play the same kind of slow, lock-down-the-lanes-and-shoot-them-coming-at-us game. We had to get up the field, get in their faces and tangle with them.We decided to take Thomas and throw him real far up the field off the break. Hopefully he could surprise a few bad guys, and the confusion would allow us to move up the field and lock down lanes elsewhere. We moved Thomas from the car wash corner to our car wash off the break. We took Cuba and put him in the corner behind the car wash. Everyone else was going to the same spots. The plan was to lock down the car wash with Davey, lock down the snake with Thomas, get a few early kills, get Rusty in the snake and hope to do with Rusty and Thomas what they had done the game before with Angel and Quincy.So off the break they shot Neil and Rusty off the snake side of the field. That wasn’t so good. We knew containing the snake was going to be tough, but we still had Thomas way up the field, so hopefully he could cover that gap. We also shot two of them off the break in the back and center of the field. We got JR to the big Dorrito watching over the car wash, so we were still in a position to fight. About one minute into the game we were dealt a crushing blow – we were given a 1-4-1 for a missed hit, eliminating our remaining back players. That left us three on five – Thomas in the car wash watching across the field towards the snake, JR in the car wash watching over him and Davey in the snake-side roller watching in front of Thomas. Davey made a good move to get back to Neil’s corner to watch the snake, but caught a stray ball as he dove in. That left only Thomas and JR. Thomas looked tape for a second, and Oliver ran up the field inside of JR, shot him, then looped around the car wash and shot Thomas out of the car wash for the win and the tournament.AftermathRyan: When a team gets to the top it starts to get tougher and tougher to become fulfilled with victory. Winning tends to start becoming the norm and anything less than the best is just not good enough, and puts some people into a state of depression. How do you all think the players on the Yankees are feeling? Being on top for so long, you almost forget what it feels like to fall, and fall hard. This year, we really haven’t fallen, at least not too far. Though a second place in the Pro division is something that most teams would settle for, for us second place is very tough on everyone. That is the reason the San Diego NPPL event was so important to everyone on the team. This win was the first that we had after two consecutive defeats from the same team, which does not happen too often to us. Not only that, but the series title was on the line, which is playing out to be the most prestigious series championship of all time. On top of those two key factors, this was the first prominent professional Paintball tournament that Quincy Boayes won in his career. He had just been brought up to the Pro team from Dynamics for the remaining two events, and he played his ass off. Dynasty has won three of the season’s four NPPL events – more tournaments than most Pro teams have won in their careers. However, the second that we slip and we don’t win we are front-page news – it is almost like we get more press for losing than for winning.Micah: This was a blow to XSV – we had finally lost out on first place for the first time in five straight events. We were hoping to tie up the NPPL overall points race with a win, forcing the series to come down to who would do better in Miami for the NPPL Pro title. Now, in order to win the series we need to place four or five spots higher then Dynasty in Miami. The loss also showed us we need to work that much harder in our practices leading up to Miami. We lit a fire under Dynasty’s ass, winning the events we did; they went home and practiced that much harder, and it showed. Now we are going to go home and practice that much harder ourselves. It’s awesome how the two top teams drive each other to get better and better, and I think both teams are better off because of the intense rivalry.
