The Millennium Series held its second event in their traditional location and venue of Bitburg, Germany—and specifically Sportschule Bitburg Sportpark. If you’ve not been to a European Masters event held here you are missing out on something special. This sports complex has everything a paintball player or team could want in a venue. Flat grass fields are only one of the highlights of the venue. Sportschule Bitburg Sportpark has its own hotel right on the property—and there are others as well, all fairly priced and definitely adequate for teams and players. And the hotels are literally walking distance from the playing fields, although many drive instead of hauling their gear. Also on the property are a few restaurants, including the one at the main hotel, which also has a beer garden (a/k/a biergarten). For those wanting to get off the property, downtown Bitburg is about a 10 minute drive and it’s your typical German city—tons of restaurants, pubs, shopping and more. THE GAMES The CPL (Pro) Division got off to a very interesting start right from game one as Russian Legion Moscow lost its Friday opener to FiveStar Lleida. Not a shock, but a surprise for sure. And of course they went on to win the remaining three preliminary round games, making it to the Sunday Club. Edmonton Impact, winners of the Millennium Photo by J ohn Amodea www.paintball.media 059
